Job Description

At XSQUARE, our mission is to bring intelligence to every warehouse through accessible, safe, and resilient solutions applicable to businesses of all scales. We are at the forefront of warehouse automation, delivering cutting-edge solutions through our product line of autonomous forklifts and proprietary warehouse control system software, Xymphony. As a rapidly growing scale-up, we are expanding our team and looking for passionate and talented engineers to join us in shaping the future of warehouse technology.

Role Overview: Hardware Engineer – Mechanical Design, Integration & Industrialization

We are looking for a Hardware Engineer with strong mechanical design and system integration skills to support the maturation of our autonomous forklift platforms. This role complements an existing robotics hardware team and focuses on turning prototypes into repeatable, installable, and serviceable products. The role spans mechanical design, integration details, and supplier iteration, with close collaboration across Robotics SW, Electrical, and Operations.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design & Integration

• Design and iterate mechanical brackets, mounts, and assemblies for sensors, compute, and auxiliary components.
• Own installation design for AGV kits, including component placement, mounting strategies, and serviceability considerations.
• Perform sensor field-of-view (FoV) and coverage studies in collaboration with perception/software teams.
• Optimize mechanical layouts to reduce occlusions, improve robustness, and simplify installation and maintenance.

Cabling & Packaging

• Design and review cable routing concepts, harness paths, and strain relief.
• Ensure installations are robust, safe, and repeatable across variants.
• Work with electrical schematics designers to align mechanical and electrical constraints.

Industrialization & BOM Ownership

• Own BOM structure, variants, and revisions using the Dassault 3DS platform.
• Drive cost, part-count, and manufacturability optimization.
• Coordinate with fabricators and suppliers on part iterations, tolerances, lead times, ordering and rework loops.

Platform Support

• Support new platform bring-up AGVs from prototype to customer-ready hardware.
• Work closely with Robotics SW teams during integration and testing phases.
• Own hardware documentation, build procedures, and handover to operations.

Required Skills & Experience

• Degree in Engineering or equivalent qualifications.
• 3 years of strong experience in mechanical CAD design using SolidWorks and 3DS.
• Proven experience designing brackets, mounts, and assemblies for industrial or robotic systems.
• Hands-on experience with BOM management, variant control, and supplier and fabricator coordination.
• Understanding of mechanical packaging constraints in complex systems.
• Proficient in spoken Chinese to liaise with Chinese speaking clients.

Nice to Have

• Ability to read and reason about electrical schematics.
• Willingness to learn electrical wiring and schematics design.
• Exposure to sensors (LiDAR, cameras, etc) and their mechanical constraints.
• Experience with cable routing, harnessing, or enclosure design.
• Willingness to be hands-on during early integration phases.

Remuneration will be commensurate with the candidate's experience, qualifications, and skill set.
