About Boxbot

Boxbot revolutionizes logistics with adaptive automation, creating the facility of the future. As the industry grapples with labor shortages and rising costs, our advanced solutions effectively meet these challenges. We transform traditional conveyor systems into intelligent, three-dimensional package handling networks, dramatically improving dispatch efficiency and operational productivity. Our versatile platform seamlessly integrates cutting-edge software and hardware, offering a comprehensive solution that optimizes multiple facets of the supply chain.

We’re a close-knit team that is well funded and are quickly expanding in order to bring our product to market. We are seeking teammates who take pride in their work and who get excited about building new systems with significant responsibility.

We're seeking a talented Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to help drive the next generation of Boxbot machinery. You'll help the design and select components for our automated material handling solutions. If you have experience shipping real world machinery, we want to talk to you!

Help lead the design of complex mechanical systems for Boxbot’s automated storage and retrieval products, from architecture through field deployment

Design robust structures, mechanisms and assemblies that perform reliably in real-world industrial environments

Spend lot's of time of the shop floor building and troubleshooting prototypes and test systems

Work directly with technicians, fabricators, machine shops, suppliers, and contract manufacturers

Produce clear CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation for high-volume manufacturing

Partner with electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and systems teams to solve system-level engineering problems

Drive design improvements that reduce complexity, improve uptime, simplify assembly, and lower product cost

Lead root-cause investigations and resolve mechanical issues found during prototyping, production, deployment, and field operation
