About Eyebot
At Eyebot, our mission is to revolutionize vision care, making it accessible to all. Based in Boston’s vibrant North End and supported by leading investors and the National Science Foundation, we are transforming how vision tests are conducted through our innovative kiosk technology.
If you're driven by the challenge of solving significant problems and eager to contribute to the future of vision care, we want to connect with you!
About The Role
We are seeking a proactive Mechatronics Engineer to enhance the capabilities of our kiosk platform. You will play a pivotal role at the intersection of mechanical design, embedded electronics, and sensor integration, ensuring that engineering requirements are translated into robust, manufacturable hardware. This position is essential to our product development efforts and requires close collaboration with both software and hardware R&D teams.
Note: This is a full-time, onsite position located in Charlestown and Boston’s North End. Our team collaborates five days a week to facilitate rapid prototyping and cross-functional teamwork.
What You’ll Do:
- Design, prototype, and refine the electromechanical systems that drive Eyebot's kiosk, focusing on actuation, motion control, and sensor integration.
- Take ownership of integrating depth cameras, image sensors, and optical components into the kiosk hardware stack, ensuring precision alignment and reliable performance.
- Construct and validate test rigs and physical experimental setups to evaluate system behavior under real-world conditions.
- Establish and uphold calibration procedures for sensors and electromechanical assemblies to guarantee measurement accuracy across kiosk units.
- Work alongside software and R&D engineers to define hardware interfaces, sensor data pathways, and embedded system specifications.
- Assist in transitioning designs from prototype to production-ready status, involving DFM reviews, tolerance analyses, and vendor coordination.
- Document design decisions, test outcomes, and assembly processes with the rigor necessary for a regulated medical device environment.
- Identify potential failure modes and conduct root-cause analyses across mechanical, electrical, and sensor subsystems.
What We're Looking For:
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience with electromechanical systems design.
- Strong knowledge of embedded systems and sensor technology.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
