Mechanical Engineer

We're a small startup building a smarter way to manage physical inventory — think automated shelving and retrieval systems that track what you have, where it is, and how much space it takes up. We're looking for a hands‑on mechanical engineer to help us design and build it. What you'll be doing Design and build the physical hardware — frames, moving parts, storage mechanisms, and the components that make the system move and function reliably Select motors, actuators, sensors (like weight and dimension sensors), and off‑the‑shelf parts that fit our needs Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot what isn't working, and iterate quickly Work closely with a small team — you'll talk directly with the founders and collaborate with electrical and software engineers Keep drawings, specs, and documentation organized and up to date What we're looking for 2+ years of mechanical engineering experience, ideally with physical products or machinery Comfortable using CAD software (we use Onshape) Experience with motors, linear motion systems, or automated/robotic equipment is a big plus Hands‑on — you'll be building and testing real hardware, not just drawing on a computer Strong problem‑solving instincts and ability to work in a fast‑moving, resource‑conscious environment $80‑$110k + equity Fully covered health, dental, and vision insurance Flexible PTO This is a fully onsite role in Midtown Manhattan — no remote or relocation considered at this time #J-18808-Ljbffr
