Lead Hardware Engineer

ABOUT ANDROMEDA

Andromeda is building autonomous surgical robots designed to help surgeons perform procedures more safely, consistently, and efficiently.

Our engineers work across robotics, software, hardware, machine learning, and clinical operations to bring robotic systems from concept to real-world deployment. We are a small, highly collaborative team that values ownership, curiosity, technical rigor, and the ability to move quickly from idea to execution.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Lead Hardware Engineer to help design, build, and deploy the next generation of our surgical robotic platform. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on turning ideas into working systems.

You will work across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and system integration challenges, helping bridge the gap between concept and real-world deployment. We are looking for an engineer who enjoys building complete systems, not just individual components. This is an individual contributor leadership role where you will drive technical direction while remaining hands-on in the build.

WHAT YOU´ll DO

• Lead hardware development across robotic subsystems
• Design, prototype, test, and iterate on new hardware solutions
• Work across electrical, mechanical, and embedded systems
• Drive hardware architecture decisions and technical tradeoffs
• Collaborate closely with controls, software, robotics, and clinical teams
• Debug complex system-level issues across multiple disciplines
• Support manufacturing, testing, and deployment efforts
• Help establish engineering processes, standards, and best practices

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Hardware Engineering

• Strong experience developing complex hardware systems
• Experience working across multiple engineering disciplines
• Hands-on prototyping and debugging experience
• Familiarity with electronics, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, and system integration
• Experience taking products from prototype through deployment

Systems Thinking

• Ability to understand and reason about complete system behavior
• Comfortable making engineering tradeoffs across hardware and software boundaries
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills

Leadership & Ownership

• Ability to independently drive projects forward as a hands-on individual contributor
• Comfortable operating in environments with incomplete information
• Experience leading technical decisions and influencing engineering direction
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have

• Robotics experience
• Embedded systems experience
• Experience with motors, actuators, and motion systems
• Experience working in startups or small engineering teams
• Experience taking products from prototype to production
• Medical device experience
• Experience with regulated product development processes, QMS, or design documentation

WHY JOIN?

At Andromeda, you’ll work alongside a small, highly technical team tackling some of the hardest problems in robotics, software, and healthcare.

Your work will directly impact products deployed in real clinical environments and has the potential to improve patient outcomes at scale.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary and equity package
• Flexible healthcare benefits
• Monthly health and wellness stipend
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates
• Opportunity to help build a category-defining company from an early stage
