What is a robotic prosthetics?

A Robotic Prosthetics job involves designing, developing, and maintaining advanced prosthetic limbs with robotic functionality. Professionals in this field work at the intersection of biomedical engineering, robotics, and healthcare to create prosthetics that enhance mobility and usability for individuals with limb loss. They may collaborate with doctors, therapists, and patients to ensure proper fit and functionality. Skills in programming, mechanical design, and biomechanics are often required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in robotic prosthetics?

To thrive in Robotic Prosthetics, you need expertise in biomedical engineering, human anatomy, and robotics, typically supported by a relevant degree and hands-on laboratory experience. Knowledge of CAD software, 3D printing technologies, and specialized prosthetic design tools, as well as certifications like Certified Prosthetist (CP), are highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication with patients and multidisciplinary teams are essential soft skills. These competencies are crucial to innovating and delivering precise, patient-centered prosthetic solutions that restore mobility and function.

What are some common challenges faced in a robotic prosthetics role?

Professionals in Robotic Prosthetics frequently encounter the challenge of designing custom solutions that meet the unique anatomical and functional needs of each patient while ensuring device reliability and comfort. Staying up-to-date with evolving technologies and integrating them into existing workflows can also be demanding. Additionally, collaborating with healthcare providers, rehabilitation specialists, and patients requires strong interpersonal skills to ensure devices are both effective and user-friendly. Overcoming these challenges is a rewarding part of the job, as it directly contributes to improving patients' quality of life and independence.

How to get into robotic prosthetics?

Robotic prosthetics is a specialized field within biomedical engineering and rehabilitation technology. To enter this field, individuals typically pursue a degree in biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline, and gain experience with robotics, sensors, and control systems through internships or research projects. Certification or advanced training in prosthetic design and development can also enhance job prospects.

Job description

About Mind

Mind Robotics is building Physical AI for real-world industrial deployment, starting with the factory floor. We believe the hardest problems in AI are solved when researchers and engineers are hands-on with the physical world every day - and we're looking for people who are passionate about robotics, value ownership, and are excited to tackle difficult problems. Join us if you want to move beyond digital intelligence and put intelligence into motion.

About the Role


Human-like dexterity is one of the final frontiers in robotics. As a Mechanical Engineer on our Hands team, you will be responsible for designing, prototyping, and scaling the mechanical architecture of our dexterous hands and fingers. You will work at the intersection of high-precision mechanics, tactile sensing, and advanced manufacturing to build reliable, high-durability hardware that interacts directly with the physical world.

Responsibilities

  • Design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for dexterous hands — fingers, linkages, transmissions, and palm structures

  • Own designs from concept through production: parts that satisfy load conditions, durability, form factor, and packaging constraints in an extremely space-constrained envelope

  • Rapidly build, test, and break prototypes to validate assembly, range of motion, grasp performance, and wire routing. You'll use 3D printing, CNC machining, and manual fabrication

  • Integrate tactile sensors, actuators, motors, and wire harnesses into compact fingertip and palm geometries, working closely with the tactile sensing and actuation teams

  • Generate accurate 2D drawings using GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and drive parts through supplier selection, first article inspection, and production ramp

  • Develop specifications and accelerated life test plans (grasp cycles, impact, wear) to validate the hand for its lifetime

  • Perform basic analyses (tolerance, structural, thermal) to validate design decisions

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, firmware, controls, industrial design) to consolidate requirements and integrate the hand into the full robot system

Qualifications

  • Exceptional mechanical intuition. You understand how forces, materials, and mechanisms behave instinctively — especially small, high-cycle mechanisms

  • 3+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex, miniaturized electromechanical systems — robotic hands, grippers, surgical robotics, prosthetics, precision mechanisms, or consumer wearables

  • High proficiency in SolidWorks, Catia, or similar tools; comfortable designing complex geometry in tight packaging

  • Experience with electromechanical integration — sensors, small motors, flex circuits, and wire harnesses in constrained volumes

  • Hands-on problem-solving approach with the ability to iterate quickly

  • Experience designing for volume processes (MIM, injection molding, micro-machining, CNC) and working with contract manufacturers

  • You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire hand-arm system works, not just your part
