About Us
At 4AG Robotics, we’re wired for solving tough problems - and mushroom harvesting with robots is about as tough as it gets. We solve the critical labor shortage for farms by building robots that pick, trim and pack mushrooms.
We are a team of builders that like to move fast and embrace the uncertain process of innovation - because every breakthrough comes with a few mistakes along the way. Our robots are already working on six of the world’s largest mushroom farms - and this is just the beginning.
If you love tech, thrive on innovation, and have a passion for building and bringing it to life in the real world in a
commercial space, you’ll find your spot here. Join us and help reshape the future of farming with grit, brains, and a team that actually gets things done.
At 4AG Robotics, we’re transforming agriculture with robotics and automation that solve real-world challenges in food production. As a Mechanical Designer, you’ll play a key role in developing innovative systems that push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics. You’ll collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and technologists to design mechanical systems that are both practical and groundbreaking.
- Design mechanical components and assemblies for robotic systems, from concept through to production.
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models, drawings, and documentation for manufacturing.
- Perform tolerance analyses, material selection, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
- Work with suppliers and fabricators to ensure designs meet performance, quality, and cost requirements.
- Collaborate closely with electrical, software, and controls engineers to ensure seamless integration of subsystems.
- Support prototyping, testing, and iterative design improvements.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute creative solutions to technical challenges.
- Robust, manufacturable designs delivered on schedule.
- Reduced iteration cycles through thoughtful design and collaboration.
- Clear, accurate documentation enabling smooth transitions to manufacturing.
- Designs that improve robot reliability, performance, and usability in real-world farm environments.
- A diploma or degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or related field.
- 4+ years of experience in mechanical design (robotics, automation, or machinery preferred).
- Proficiency with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar).
- Strong understanding of GD&T, material properties, and manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, plastics, etc.).
- Experience with prototyping, testing, and hands-on problem solving.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
Our robots are solving one of the most pressing challenges in agriculture: the labour shortage in food production. By designing reliable, efficient mechanical systems, you’ll directly contribute to building sustainable food systems and ensuring farms around the world can thrive.

What We believe
If you’re the type who likes to take chances, move at speed, and see your ideas come to life, you’ll feel right at home here. At 4AG, we’re not big on rules for the sake of rules - we’d rather trust you to make bold calls, keep it real with your team, and turn imagination into something game-changing. This isn’t a place to play it safe; it’s a place to build, break, fix, and build again - while having a great time doing it.
