Mechanical Engineer

Job Description Job Description Mechanical Engineer – Build Next-Generation Hardware at an Advanced Manufacturing Startup! Los Angeles, CA | On-Site Opportunity Summary A rapidly growing deep-tech startup is redefining how advanced computing hardware is designed, manufactured, and scaled. Operating at the intersection of precision engineering, physics, and high-volume production, this team is building complex electro-mechanical systems that push performance limits while remaining manufacturable at scale. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a hands-on role in developing highly integrated hardware products from early concepts through production ramp. You’ll design everything from micro-scale features to large tooling systems, collaborate closely with electrical, optical, firmware, and process engineers, and directly influence how next-generation hardware moves from prototype to factory floor. If you enjoy solving complex physical problems and seeing your designs manufactured in real time, this is an opportunity to make a tangible impact in a fast-moving startup environment. About Us We are a venture-backed technology company building advanced hardware platforms that combine precision mechanics, high-speed electronics, and cutting-edge manufacturing processes. Our team is focused on scaling breakthrough hardware systems that will power the next wave of computing and data infrastructure. By owning both product design and in-house manufacturing, we move quickly, iterate aggressively, and bring complex technology to market faster than traditional hardware companies. Job Duties Design mechanical components and assemblies from initial requirements through supplier production and manufacturing ramp Develop parts across a wide range of scales, from micro-feature components to large structural hardware and tooling Perform structural and thermal analysis to validate performance and reliability Partner closely with electrical, firmware, optical, and process engineering teams to deliver tightly integrated systems Create fixtures, interfaces, and tooling to support high-throughput manufacturing operations Support design for manufacturability, assembly optimization, and continuous production improvements Translate first-principles engineering concepts into practical, scalable hardware solutions Qualifications BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline CAD proficiency with hands-on project experience Strong foundation in mechanical fundamentals and first-principles problem solving Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment Preferred Experience Experience with structural, thermal, or multiphysics analysis tools (ANSYS Mechanical, Icepak, Fluent, or similar) 3+ years of direct experience in a mechanical engineering role supporting product development or manufacturing Exposure to electro-mechanical systems, precision hardware, or advanced manufacturing environments Experience designing for production, tooling, or high-rate assembly lines Why Join Us Work directly on breakthrough hardware products from concept through production Hands-on ownership in a fast-moving startup environment Opportunity to influence both product design and manufacturing strategy Collaborate with a highly technical, multidisciplinary engineering team Real impact on next-generation computing and hardware infrastructure Compensation Details $85,000 - $125,000 #LI-AV
