Remote Solidworks Jobs in San Ramon, CA (NOW HIRING)

About Us

We're Queue, the world's first fully autonomous robotic pharmacy. We go from sealed wholesale bottles to filled, verified prescription vials with zero human involvement.

We built Queue because no one should ever have to wait in line for the medicines they need. One in three US pharmacies has shut down. Pharmacists are overworked to a breaking point. And patients are paying the price. Queue fixes that. Pharmacists get to practice pharmacy again — counseling patients, catching interactions, doing the work only they can do. And patients get their prescriptions in 60 seconds or less, any time, anywhere.

We’re backed by over $18 million from Alleycorp, Riot Ventures, Ubiquity Ventures, House Capital, and others who believe the pharmacy system is broken and that robotics can fix it. Queue was founded by Nick Desai (6x founder, previously CEO of Heal) and Joshua Liu (previously Tesla, Waymo, and Zipline).

About the Role

As Senior/Staff Engineer, you'll architect and lead the mechanical design and manufacturing strategy of critical system(s). This isn't just another mechanical engineering role, you'll be building complex electromechanical systems that handle medications with pharmaceutical-grade precision, designing for both high and low volume production, and scaling a patent-pending robotics platform from prototype to nationwide deployment in the tens of thousands of units.

What makes this role extraordinary

Direct impact on millions of patients through breakthrough pharmacy automation with the opportunity to design complex mechanisms from the ground up and scale to production while working at the intersection of precision robotics, computer vision, and healthcare automation.

Complex Electromechanical Systems:

• Design sophisticated mechanisms for high-speed, high-accuracy medication dispensing

• Develop systems capable of managing hundreds of different medications

• Create pharmaceutical-grade precision systems that operate reliably 24/7

• Engineer solutions enable prescriptions fill as faster as going to an ATM

Design for Scale and Production:

• Lead Design for X (DFx) strategy for low- and high-volume production methods

• Drive the transition from prototypes to production-ready systems, scaling to over 4,000 units annually

• Establish supplier and manufacturing partnerships for complex components and assemblies

• Implement cost-reduction initiatives and create comprehensive build-to-print documentation for repeatable, cost-effective production at scale

Ground-Up Product Development

• Own mechanical architecture from initial concept through production release while balancing innovation with practical manufacturability

• Design systems for serviceability, reliability, and maintainability in field deployment

• Integrate mechanical systems seamlessly with robotics, computer vision, AI, and compute

• Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations and pharmaceutical handling requirements

Test, Validation & Quality

• Lead design verification and validation (DVT) activities; establishing comprehensive test and validation protocols for mission-critical healthcare systems

• Implement reliability testing programs to ensure 99.99%+ uptime in pharmacy environments

• Create failure mode analysis (FMEA) and risk mitigation strategies

• Drive continuous improvement through field data analysis and iterative design refinement

Required Qualifications and Experiences
