About the role

Apptronik in Texas seeks a Senior Mechanical Engineer focused on electric actuation design to advance our Apollo humanoid robot. You will lead actuator design, drive DFMA, collaborate with a cross‑disciplinary team, and contribute to pilot builds and validation. The role demands hands‑on prototyping, CAD proficiency, knowledge of planetary gears, and experience in a fast‑moving startup environment with strong communication skills.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
