Open Role
Mechatronics Engineer
at Radical AI
New York, NY·Posted Jul 1
About the role
Radical AI is replacing an R&D process that currently takes 10+ years and $100 million to produce a single discovery. Our self-driving lab platform combines AI with autonomous robotics to run experiments, analyze results, and iterate—continuously, without human bottlenecks. For industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, and space, that means breakthroughs in weeks instead of years.
As a Mechatronics Engineer at Radical AI you will serve as the bridge between Mechanical Engineering and Software to operationalize a suite of novel robotic and autonomous systems to drive a first of its kind material science research and discovery laboratory. You will help ideate scalable designs for driving and automating state of the art lab equipment in part by specifying motors, motor drivers, actuators, encoders, sensors, and control systems. You will drive the integration of electromechanical systems and the foundational power and control systems, equipment, and hardware to operate our equipment safely and reliably.
Your experience and vision will shape both the physical and systematic implementation of a lab-wide autonomous integrated control scheme. You will collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering and Software to meet rigorous and sometimes dynamic design requirements at a profound deployment speed. You will maintain and optimize control system performance to meet throughput and reliability metrics that are critical to the success of the technology.
