Virtual Prototype Design information

What is the difference between Virtual Prototype Design vs CAD Designer?

AspectVirtual Prototype DesignCAD Designer
Primary FocusCreating digital, functional prototypes of products or systemsDeveloping detailed 2D/3D technical drawings and models
Tools & SoftwareSimulation software, 3D modeling, virtual testing toolsCAD software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA
Work EnvironmentProduct development teams, engineering labs, virtual simulation platformsDesign offices, engineering departments, manufacturing firms
Required CredentialsEngineering background, CAD knowledge, simulation skillsDesign or engineering degree, CAD certification

Virtual Prototype Design focuses on creating digital, functional models for testing and validation, often using simulation tools. CAD Designers primarily develop detailed technical drawings and 3D models for manufacturing. While both roles require CAD skills and engineering knowledge, Virtual Prototype Design emphasizes virtual testing and simulation, whereas CAD Design centers on detailed documentation and design creation.

Job description

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That's why we've set out on a mission to build the world's most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We're bringing that mission to life with HMNDโ€‘01 Alpha - our rapidly developed humanoid platform now running in real industrial pilots - and we're growing the team to take it even further.
About The Role
As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer on the Core Platform team, you'll play a key part in turning ambitious, open-ended ideas into high-performing, real-world robotics solutions. Your work will span hands-on design, collaborative prototyping, and technical validation, driving innovation in mechanisms, and structures. You'll develop detailed CAD models and documentation, ensure manufacturability and safety, and work closely with cross-disciplinary teams and vendors-all while adapting to rapidly evolving project needs. This is an opportunity for creative engineers who thrive on solving complex problems and shaping the future of robotic design.
What You'll Do
  • Interpret Open-Ended Design Requirements: Help transform broad project requirements into detailed, pragmatic design specifications for new systems and components.
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work with engineers from various disciplines to brainstorm, design, and develop prototype robots that meet challenging performance targets.
  • Innovate with Mechanisms and Structures: Design and refine innovative mechanisms, interfaces, and structures that elevate robot performance, from energy-absorbing crash protection to ergonomic robot coverings.
  • CAD Design & Documentation: Create and manage CAD models, engineering drawings, assembly documentation, and test plans for parts and assemblies.
  • Analysis and Validation: Perform necessary analyses on new designs, validate them through bench tests, and ensure that they meet all performance, safety, and manufacturability standards.
  • Troubleshoot and Implement Solutions: Identify and resolve design issues by determining root causes and implementing effective corrective and preventative measures.
  • Vendor Management: Collaborate with external vendors for components and assemblies that require outsourcing, ensuring that third-party designs meet Humanoid's stringent requirements.
  • Adapt to Changing Needs: Stay flexible and responsive to changing project requirements while maintaining a team-first, collaborative mindset.

What We're Looking For
  • BSME with 5+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience designing highโ€‘performance mechanical structures, motion mechanisms, and integrated systems, ideally in robotics or comparable highโ€‘precision fields.
  • Advanced proficiency in CAD software (NX, SolidWorks, Creo etc.) with experience in FEA and topology optimization. We use Solidworks.
  • Strong understanding of ASME drafting standards, including GD&T (Y14.5-2018).
  • Experience transitioning designs from early concepts (NPI, EVT, DVT) to production.
  • Familiarity with production processes such as casting, sheet metal, stamping, hydroforming, composites, and compliant energy-absorbing structures.
  • Experience designing lightweight, high-performance structures, compliant mechanisms, and flexible energy-absorbing designs.
  • Creative and collaborative thinking with a team-first mentality.
What We Offer
  • Comprehensive health coverage for USโ€‘based employees, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, with virtual care and employee assistance resources.
  • Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of PTO (accrued), separate sick leave, and paid company holidays.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
  • Equity included-we believe builders should share in what they build.
  • Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks inโ€‘office.
  • Collaboration with topโ€‘tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.
  • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.

For this role in Massachusetts, the expected base salary range is $160K-$215K USD per year; your placement in that range depends on how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
