Senior Mechanical Engineer, R&D (Wilmington MA or Nashua, NH)

Locus Robotics is a leader in the rapidly growing eCommerce order fulfillment optimization space. Our solution helps warehouse owners attain 2-3X efficiency improvement over cart-picking operations, by empowering pickers to work collaboratively with our robots. All this is accomplished while integrating with the operator’s Warehouse Management System, utilizing, and optimizing existing facility infrastructure.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will work within our Advanced Products Group, which is a forward-thinking group that evaluates product opportunities with 2–4 year roadmaps using emerging technologies. This is a hybrid role, with remote work flexibility, but will require engineers to be onsite in our Nashua NH office for team interface and at critical development points. The Senior Mechanical Engineer must be well rounded in technical ability, capable of both design for prototype through rapid development and mid-high volume product designs of our next generation of high performance and intelligent robotic systems.
