Company Overview:
Dyna Robotics makes general-purpose robots powered by a proprietary embodied AI foundation model that generalizes and self-improves across varied environments with commercial-grade performance. Dyna's robots have been deployed at customers across multiple industries. Its frontier model has the top generalization and performance in the industry.
Dyna Robotics was founded by repeat founders Lindon Gao and York Yang, who sold Caper AI for $350 million, and former DeepMind research scientist Jason Ma. The company has raised over $140M, backed by top investors, including CRV and First Round.We're positioned to redefine the landscape of robotic automation. Join us to shape the next frontier of AI-driven robotics!

Position Overview:
We are looking for a Hardware Generalist who loves the "Build-Test-Fix" cycle. This isn't a desk job. You will be responsible for the health of our robots in the lab and at client sites. When a part fails, you don’t just replace it, you use Onshape to redesign it so it never fails again. You will manage the full lifecycle of the hardware: from soldering the harness and printing the enclosure to debugging the Linux driver and setting up the teleop rig.
Key Responsibilities:
Act as the primary "First Responder" for robotic failures. Diagnose complex issues across mechanical, electrical, and software layers using multimeters and oscilloscopes.
Identify recurring hardware pain points and redesign components (mounts, housings, cable routing) in Onshape/SolidWorks to improve fleet reliability.
Rapidly prototype solutions using 3D printing, laser cutting, and manual fabrication. We expect to see a portfolio of physical builds, jigs, or integrated systems you’ve personally created.
Calibrate and validate sensor stacks (LiDAR, RealSense, GNSS). Use the Linux command line and Python to run hardware checks, pull logs, and automate repetitive test sequences.
Own the setup and maintenance of teleoperation rigs and data collection environments. Ensure 90%+ uptime for systems used by the AI and Data teams.
Manage BOMs, document "as-built" configurations, and write SOPs so that your fixes can be replicated across the entire fleet.
Qualifications:
3–5+ years in a high-intensity R&D or hardware support environment (e.g., Robotics, AV, or Aerospace).
Proven ability to collaborate with engineering teams to diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and software issues, with the capacity to provide detailed written and verbal updates to key stakeholders.
Hands-on experience with hand and power tools, high & low voltage systems, wire harness assembly and repair, mechanical components, electro-mechanical devices, soldering irons, wire crimping tools, DMM multi-meters, and oscilloscopes.
Ability to interpret and work from drawings and 3D CAD models, including reading and understanding mechanical & electrical diagrams and schematics.
Familiarity with fundamental computer systems operations like the shell command line, Linux, Python scripting, and networking debugging.
Strong analytical problem-solving skills, including root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and detailed lab reporting.
Must be able to be on site in Redwood City five days a week, with occasional travel to client locations.
Preferred Qualifications:
A printable portfolio or photo-doc showing your best work in fabrication, cable management, or custom mechanical assemblies.
Functional proficiency in Onshape or SolidWorks
Hands-on with Linux/Bash and Python
Compensation Range: $90K - $160K
