Mechanical Engineer

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
