Job description

Your New Role and Team

Our Engineering team is looking to hire an Engineering Manager on our Robotics Mechanical team. Reporting to our CTO, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the design and implementation of the robotics and mobility systems within our general‑purpose robots.

Success Criteria

  • Enable mixed mechanical projects by creating clarity in team operations, ownership, and priorities
  • Gain cutting‑edge career experience as you help turn ambitious robotics concepts into reality by empowering technical experts to focus on design and innovation
  • Achieve company‑wide visibility as you partner with leaders to develop and improve company design, manufacturing, and sustaining processes
  • Expand your leadership experience as you promote company culture, mentorship, and career development throughout the mechanical team
  • Apply operational discipline to reviews, requirements, and team practices without overlapping with dedicated program management functions

Your Experience Qualifications

  • Degree in mechanical engineering, engineering physics, mechatronics, or related technical field, with strong exposure to robotics or automated machinery
  • 5+ years of direct experience managing mechanical engineering teams in robotics, automated machinery, or complex mechanism industries
  • Proven success in building team structures that support technical leaders while keeping focus on people, growth, and operational excellence
  • Experience working across the full mechanical life cycle — from prototyping and design‑for‑manufacturing to validation and sustaining
  • Strong ability to collaborate with principal and staff engineers, enabling them to drive technical design while you drive culture and team enablement
  • Skills

  • Skilled at hiring, onboarding, mentoring, and career development for high‑performing mechanical teams
  • Adept at building operational frameworks — reviews, requirements clarity, accountability models — that improve outcomes without duplicating program management
  • Familiar with work management tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence) to bring visibility and clarity to tasks
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing workflows, engineering documentation, tolerancing, and GD&T
  • Excellent communicator who can synthesize technical information and align leadership with engineering teams
  • Traits

  • Above all else, a consistently positive attitude and a willingness to do what it takes to support the team
  • Strong listener with conflict resolution skills and the ability to foster collaboration
  • Organized, detail‑oriented, and proactive in clearing blockers before they slow the team
  • Confident working in complex robotics projects without needing to control technical design
  • Obsession with bringing human‑like intelligence to machines
  • Working at Sanctuary AI

    Sanctuary AI is an equal opportunity employer; employment with Sanctuary AI is governed based on skills, competence, and qualifications and will not be influenced in any way by race, color, religion, gender, national origin / ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status. In 2023, Sanctuary AI moved into a state‑of‑the‑art office facility and has been recognized by LinkedIn as a Top Startup company.

    Compensation And Benefits

    Sanctuary offers a market‑leading compensation package that includes competitive salaries, equity stakes, and a full suite of benefits for permanent employees, encompassing health coverage, paid time off, cutting‑edge work facilities, and worksite flexibility by role. Our commitment to fairness ensures that our total compensation consistently surpasses market standards.

    About Sanctuary AI

    Founded in 2018, Sanctuary builds humanoid robots and a novel control system for them that integrates symbolic logic and reasoning with data‑driven robot foundation models. We use our robots to collect vision, audio, touch, and proprioception data from the perspective of the robot while they perform real‑world work tasks. We use that data to train multimodal robot foundation models. Because our systems are vertically integrated, we can design, deploy, and refine at scale. Our mission is to create the world’s first human‑like intelligence in general‑purpose robots.

    Recruiting and Employment Agency Notice

    Recruitment and hiring is conducted internally by Sanctuary AI. We are not seeking or soliciting any new agency partnerships or agreements at this time. Any employment agency or professional recruiter (“Agency”) that provides an unsolicited resume(s) or otherwise presents a prospective job candidate through the Sanctuary AI career site or directly to any Sanctuary AI employee, irrevocably grants to Sanctuary AI the unrestricted right to engage, hire, or contract with that candidate at Sanctuary AI’s sole discretion without any compensation to the Agency. We appreciate your interest in working together, and should the need arise our Talent Acquisition team will contact any external firms directly.
