Location: London, UK; on-site

Company

hirify.global builds commercially scalable, safe hirify.global robots, including the HMND-01 Alpha platform used in industrial pilots.

What you will do

• Assemble, wire, calibrate, bring up, and validate early end-effector prototypes at robot level.
• Integrate mechanisms, actuators, sensors, electronics, controls, and robot software across parallel engineering workstreams.
• Design and build mechanical and electrical test rigs for grippers, actuators, tactile sensors, and force/torque sensors.
• Run comparative component tests and analyze accuracy, repeatability, hysteresis, drift, noise, bandwidth, and integration feasibility.
• Triage and debug end-effector and sensor failures in the lab and on newly built robots.
• Perform root cause analysis and document findings for the mechanical, electrical, controls, and software teams.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in robotics, mechatronics, or systems integration engineering.
• Experience taking a complex electromechanical system from individual parts to reliable operation on a robot.
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, soldering, wiring, and test fixture construction.
• Knowledge of robotic grippers, actuators, tactile sensors, force/torque sensors, encoders, load cells, calibration, and sensor behavior.
• Familiarity with Linux and Python for sensor data capture and analysis, ROS/ROS2 for visualization and debugging, and Git.

Nice to have

• Mechanical CAD experience with SolidWorks or Siemens NX.
• Experience calibrating tactile or force/torque sensors, working with motor drives and actuator control, or building automated lifecycle tests.
• Familiarity with Jira and Confluence for bug tracking and RCA documentation.
