Founded in 2011 by graduates of MIT and RISD, RISE™Robotics is an innovative technology company that is leading the way to Zero Emission heavy machinery by providing the world's most efficient and productive alternative to hydraulics. Backed by The Engine, a Tough Tech venture capital fund from MIT, Greentown Labs, and Techstars, and partnering with Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and the U.S. Department of Defense, RISE is powering the shift toward sustainable energy using their unique Beltdraulic™ technology, an efficient, eco-friendly alternative to traditional hydraulic systems that reduces fuel consumption, cuts emissions, and extends the lifespan of machines. This is a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience in technology that’s changing the future of heavy machinery.

To support the growth and success of the RISE technology, we are looking for Mechanical and Test Engineers to join our team and contribute to the design, development, optimization, and validation of our robotic motion control systems. In this role, you will work closely with a cross-functional team to deliver high-quality, reliable solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible with Beltdraulic™ technology. Ideal candidates are motivated problem solvers who thrive on technical challenges and are eager to grow within a collaborative environment. This position is based on-site in our Somerville office.

• Contribute to conceptualizing, designing, and testing components, systems, and assemblies. Participate in documentation, including technical drawings, schematics, specifications, test plans, and protocols.
