Company

hirify.global develops generalist intelligent robots across hardware, robot systems, infrastructure, foundation world models, and manufacturing.

What you will do

• Design the structural architecture of robotic hands, including palms, fingers, linkages, pivots, and housings.
• Own design for manufacturing of structural parts, including die-cast and injection-molded components, from prototypes through volume production.
• Integrate thermal paths with dense actuator packages to keep systems within operating limits.
• Engineer structures that tolerate impacts, drops, and sustained real-world abuse.
• Maintain the precision required for fine motor control and repeatable grasping.
• Design lightweight, body-safe structures for wearable devices.

Requirements

• Experience designing die-cast and injection-molded parts, including DFM for volume production.
• Thermal design experience, especially integrating heat paths with actuators in dense packages.
• Strong background in linkage, pivot, and small-mechanism design.
• Proven ability to design robust systems that tolerate impact and sustained abuse.
• Ability to design for precision, enabling fine motor control and reliable grasping.

Nice to have

• Experience with wearable or body-worn product structures.
• Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance-stack analysis for small mechanisms.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time position in the Hardware department.
• Equity is included in the compensation package.
• Work on end-to-end robotics spanning hardware, AI models, infrastructure, and manufacturing scale-up.
