Mechanical/Product/Manufacturing/Materials Engineer

Elve

Mechanical Engineer Position

Elve, Inc is a deep-tech startup in Davis, CA, specializing in the design and manufacturing of high-efficiency lightweight millimeter-wave and near-THz RF power amplifiers. Our groundbreaking technology enables 100x faster wireless internet access in urban settings and remote locations, revolutionizing the future of wireless connectivity well beyond 5G. We are looking for mechanical engineers to join our team and contribute to the advancement of our technology, products, and manufacturing. If you are passionate about RF electronics, precision assembly, manufacturing, automation, and working on cutting-edge technology, then we want to hear from you!

Elve is building next generation millimeter-wave power amplifiers for advanced communications and sensing systems. We are hiring several mechanical engineers across manufacturing, engineering, and product development who enjoy solving hardware problems and improving how products are built.

Mechanical engineers at Elve own projects that improve both product performance and manufacturing capability. You will work closely with production, engineering, and supply chain teams.

This role requires both strong mechanical design capability and hands-on engineering. Successful candidates are comfortable moving between CAD, prototype hardware, manufacturing equipment, and engineering analysis.

Because Elve is a small and fast-moving company, engineers have the opportunity to own projects end-to-end from concept through production implementation. The goal of this position is to drive measurable improvements in throughput, yield, product performance, and manufacturing scalability.

This is a full-time salaried position.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Design, build, test, and implement real hardware systems, including:
    • Product designs and assembly processes to improve reliability, performance, and manufacturability
    • Fixtures, tooling, and automation solutions to improve manufacturing throughput, quality, and yield
    • Engineering test stands and production equipment
  • Apply DFMA principles to component and assembly designs
  • Qualify assemblies for space or other demanding environments
  • Own product initiation and improvements from ideation to deployment in production

Work may occur in a combination of the following environments:

  • Manufacturing facility
  • ISO 5–ISO 7 cleanroom
  • Laboratory
  • Machine shop
  • Warehouse
  • Office
