We are developing HappyMat™ Prototype #1, a smart interactive doormat with pressure/presence sensing, a digital display, addressable LED lighting, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, camera/speaker/microphone components, embedded electronics and a custom physical structure.
We are looking for one experienced engineer (or a small team with one named lead engineer) to design the full prototype: architecture, firmware, mechanical CAD and a mobile-web control interface. The physical build will be done in California, USA, by our local technician. You will work as a team with him and guide him remotely.
Scope of work
- Define the overall prototype architecture and select practical off-the-shelf modules to reduce cost and development time
- Develop the ESP32 (or similar MCU) firmware: pressure/presence sensing, addressable LEDs, digital display, Wi-Fi and BLE, plus camera, speaker and microphone integration
- Design the physical mat structure and electronics packaging in CAD: mounting for the display, camera, sensors, LEDs, controller and wiring; protect electronics from stepping loads; keep it serviceable; prepare parts for 3D printing or CNC
- Build a simple mobile-friendly web control interface that communicates with the controller (REST / WebSocket / MQTT / BLE)
- Prepare the BOM, wiring diagrams and step-by-step assembly instructions for our technician in California
- Lead remote troubleshooting, integration testing and the final functional demonstration by video call
- Deliver all firmware/source code, CAD files, drawings and configuration files
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with real physical hardware, not software-only projects
- ESP32 or similar MCU; Embedded C/C++; sensors; RGB/RGBW LEDs; displays; Wi-Fi/BLE
- CAD skills: SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or equivalent; enclosure design and electronics packaging
- Web interface development for hardware control (JavaScript/TypeScript or similar)
- Camera/audio integration is a strong plus
- Good written English; available for video calls during Pacific Time hours
Compensation
Fixed price: $700 USD for the complete scope. This is a fixed-price contract, not an hourly position. Payment terms will be agreed in the contract.
How to apply
Begin your cover letter with the word HAPPYMAT. Include:
- Confirmation that the $700 fixed price works for you
- Your estimated timeline (in days or weeks)
- One physical electronic product or prototype you personally helped build: what exactly you designed, coded or built, with photos, video, CAD screenshots or GitHub links if available
- If you are a company or team: the name of the engineer who will lead the work
An NDA and IP assignment are required before confidential HappyMat technical information is shared. All project files belong to the company.

Tips for Your Remote Mechatronics Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote mechatronics engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search the current listings, find roles that match your skills and experience level, and apply directly. Early applicants on remote postings get more attention before inboxes fill.
Show async communication skills upfront
Remote mechatronics teams rely on written handoffs in tools like Confluence, Notion, or Jira. Mention specific async tools you've used in your resume and cover letter. Remote hiring managers screen for candidates who can communicate technical decisions clearly in writing without a meeting.
Document your remote-compatible engineering work
Build a portfolio that shows work you completed independently: simulation models, CAD assemblies, firmware repos, or control system designs. Include context on what you owned solo versus what was collaborative. Remote employers want evidence you can drive a deliverable without in-person oversight.
Target companies with distributed hardware teams
Filter your search toward robotics software companies, industrial automation platforms, and connected-device startups that have already built remote engineering workflows. These employers have solved the tooling and coordination problems that make remote mechatronics work functional, so the role will actually be remote in practice.
Remote Mechatronics Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote mechatronics engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams, particularly in robotics software, industrial automation platforms, and connected hardware development, since those are the roles most compatible with remote work. Remote employers screen for self-direction, strong written communication for async collaboration, and hands-on proficiency in CAD, embedded systems, and simulation tools. Candidates who document prior independent project work or remote engineering experience stand out.
Which companies hire remote mechatronics engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote mechatronics engineers include ASML, Concord Pacific, and Capsa Healthcare, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first technology companies and distributed teams in robotics, industrial automation, and medical device development where much of the design, simulation, and systems work can happen off-site.
Can you get a remote mechatronics engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level mechatronics roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot independently without in-person support. Startups building robotics or automation software are more likely to take a chance on junior candidates. Showing a GitHub repository with embedded systems or control systems projects, a capstone build with documented results, or a freelance hardware project demonstrates you can deliver without hand-holding.
Do you need a degree for remote mechatronics engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers in robotics software and automation platforms prioritize demonstrated skills over credentials, especially for roles centered on simulation, firmware development, or systems integration. A strong portfolio showing real control systems work, proficiency in tools like MATLAB, ROS, or SolidWorks, and evidence of shipping or deploying a working system can carry significant weight.
