Full Job Description

Position: Mechatronics Engineer – Lab & Automation Systems

Location: South San Francisco

Type: Full-time

Desired start date: ASAP

The Opportunity:

Ohalo™ is seeking a hands-on Mechanical / Mechatronics Engineer to support the design, integration, and deployment of agricultural automation systems across our research and production environments. This role will focus on integrating mechanical systems, robotics, sensors, and lab automation equipment to enable scalable, high-throughput plant genomics and greenhouse operations.

The ideal candidate enjoys working close to hardware in real-world environments and partnering directly with scientists, automation engineers, and operators. If you are motivated by building practical systems that operate reliably in greenhouse and lab settings, we want to hear from you.

This role is based full-time in South San Francisco and is well-suited for a junior to mid-level engineer. You will work closely with senior engineers and leadership, with frequent opportunities for mentorship, hands-on learning, and technical growth.

Key Responsibilities

System Integration: Design, assemble, and integrate mechanical and mechatronic subsystems for lab and greenhouse automation.
Robotics & Automation: Support deployment and tuning of robotic systems, actuators, and motion platforms.
Sensor Implementation: Integrate and validate sensors (e.g., force, position, imaging, environmental) into mechanical systems.
Field Deployment: Commission, troubleshoot, and maintain systems in greenhouse and lab environments.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with biology, hardware, and software teams to align system designs with scientific workflows.
Iteration & Improvement: Identify failure modes and implement design improvements for reliability and maintainability.
Documentation: Create and maintain mechanical drawings, BOMs, assembly instructions, and test procedures.

Candidate Profile

5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, or related fields.
Hands-on experience with mechanical system assembly and troubleshooting.
Familiarity with automation components such as motors, actuators, linear motion systems, and sensors.
Comfortable working in experimental environments with evolving requirements.
Ability to collaborate across disciplines and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical partners.

Bonus if you have:

Experience with agricultural systems, greenhouse operations, or lab automation.
Exposure to robotics frameworks, controls, or embedded systems.
Experience supporting systems in field or production environments.

The anticipated pay range for this role is $120,000 - $150,000 per year for our San Francisco, CA location, though salary will be based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, experience, skills, education, and location.
