About Us
Technoculture Research is re-imagining how the world measures health. We build micro-scale electrochemical laboratories that place lab-grade accuracy directly in the hands of clinicians, community health workers, and even patients at home. Our platform fuses microfabricated electrodes, novel surface chemistries, and microfluidics to run protein, nucleic-acid, and metabolite assays within minutes. By replacing costly optical detection with electron sensing, we slash instrument and per-test costs by roughly an order of magnitude, making precision diagnostics truly accessible. Our mission is clear: make diagnostics abundant so that every critical health decision is guided by immediate, affordable results, wherever care happens.
We are seeking a talented Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical and mechatronics engineering, with hands-on experience in CAD design using SolidWorks or Fusion 360. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional hardware and firmware teams to design and develop high-quality mechanical assemblies for humanoid robots, proprietary gripper systems, and data collection rigs.
About The Role
You will design the mechanical systems for our humanoid, our proprietary gripper hardware, egocentric capture rigs, and motion capture setups. Your assemblies will be manufactured at scale in Bangalore and deployed across our data collection operations, generating 10,000+ hours of training data per month.
Key Responsibilities
- Design mechanical assemblies for our humanoid robot: limbs, torso, end effectors, joint housings, cable routing, and actuator integration
- Develop our proprietary UMI and DexUMI gripper mechanisms and finger assemblies for dexterous manipulation
- Design enclosures and mounts for egocentric capture hardware (camera rigs, AR glass mounts, sensor arrays)
- Create fixtures, jigs, and mounting hardware for full-body motion capture setups at our Bangalore facility
- Run FEA and structural analysis on load-bearing components and validate with physical testing
- Select materials and processes (CNC, sheet metal, 3D printing, injection molding) for prototype and production
- Own tolerancing, GD&T, and interface specs for multi-part assemblies
- Collaborate with electronics and firmware teams on sensor placement, cable management, and thermals
