DADACONSULTANTS PTE. LTD. Hiring! Full Time Mechanical Engineer (Robots-Hardware-Fullstack) in West Region (Singapore), Earn up to SGD 8,000 - Ricebowl

Our client is an applied R&D company building an open-source humanoid robot platform and the full software stack that powers it, with a mission to make humanoid labour economically viable at scale. The team develops across the complete technical stack — spanning hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure — and ships directly to physical robots.

This is an opportunity for a hands-on mechanical engineer to own the design, analysis, and validation of structural and kinematic systems that bring a next-generation humanoid platform to life. You will take components from early concept through production-ready hardware, working across joints, actuators, enclosures, and structural members. If you want your work to have tangible real-world impact beyond a research paper or prototype demo, this role offers exactly that environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical assemblies across a full humanoid body, including joints, actuators, sensor mounts, and structural members
• Produce detailed 3D parts, drawings, and assembly models across plastics, metals, and composite materials using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD platforms
• Set up and run hands-on test rigs covering load testing, fatigue cycling, thermal soak, and kinematic validation across body segments
• Execute Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews alongside contract manufacturers, engaging directly on the production floor to understand tooling constraints, cycle times, and failure modes
• Create and maintain production drawings with GD&T and inspection callouts for handoff to contract manufacturers and quality assurance teams
• Instrument test stands, wire sensors, and collect data to analyse failure modes and drive iterative design improvements
• Coordinate with firmware and electrical engineering teams to physically integrate actuators, sensors, and PCBs into mechanical assemblies, ensuring cable routing, connector access, and serviceability are fully considered
• Contribute to open-source hardware documentation efforts, including CAD releases, bill-of-materials documentation, manufacturing guides, and assembly instructions for the broader robotics community

Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on mechanical design experience on high-complexity electromechanical products , with a strong track record from concept through production
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks across detailed parts, multi-body assemblies, surfacing, and engineering drawings; experience with sheet metal fabrication and traditional or additive manufacturing processes
• Solid experience producing 2D engineering drawings with GD&T for manufacturing and quality assurance handoff
• Ability to run and interpret FEA simulations (static, dynamic, and thermal) to inform and validate design decisions under aggressive cost and weight constraints
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with material selection, actuator and fastener selection, and mechanism design; proficiency in rapid prototyping methods including FDM, SLA, CNC machining, and laser cutting
• Experience with bipedal or humanoid robot hardware, legged locomotion platforms, or high-degree-of-freedom manipulators (is a bonus)
• Familiarity with parallel mechanisms and non-standard joint configurations (is a bonus)
• Scripting experience in Python to automate CAD workflows or data analysis pipelines (is a bonus)
• Background in plastics engineering including material selection, shrinkage factors, and mechanical property optimisation (is a bonus)
• Familiarity with sim-to-real workflows and how hardware design decisions affect locomotion policy training and transfer (is a bonus)

If you are passionate about technology and meet the above requirements, please don't hesitate to apply. Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Appreciate your understanding. Data provided is for recruitment purposes only.
