Mechanical Engineering Senior

This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation. Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Cerebras, you will lead the design of mechanical systems for our next-generation wafer-scale engine. Your responsibilities will include ensuring compliance with specifications, validating manufacturability, and delivering a high-quality product in a fast-paced environment—tackling some of the most challenging problems in the rapidly evolving AI space. In this role, you will develop mechanical infrastructure for Cerebras’ custom hardware system.

Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades and steer overall product direction.

Provide comprehensive support for environmental and performance testing on hardware, validating analyses, and ensuring compliance with design criteria.

Conduct first article inspections, functional analysis, identify and resolve issues.

Collaborate across design‑manufacturing‑production, diagnostic and embedded software engineering teams, contractors and suppliers.

Perform detailed structural analysis to engineer robust.

Work in a fast paced, high energy environment with short product development cycles on many challenging electro‑mechanical projects.

Drive and own all design aspects of electro‑mechanical systems from concept to bring‑up and production.

Work with cross functional teams to gather all design requirements to lead the mechanical design, troubleshoot, and create & release all deliverables including drawings, BOMs, etc.

Work closely with thermal engineers to solve mechanical challenges.

Evaluate materials and components to meet performance, schedule and cost targets.

10+ years of experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer.

BS in Mechanical Engineering.

Very strong in 3D solids modeling CAD package, proficiency with Solidworks would be preferable.

Proficient with PLM system, such as Arena or Agile.

Must be able to do full Tolerance Analysis of complex systems and have working knowledge of FEA.

Experience in electronic liquid cooling is a plus.

Must have in-depth knowledge of all latest fabrication processes; sheet metal, machining, die‑casting, injection molding, and 3D printing.

Actual compensation may include bonus and equity, and will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.

Build a breakthrough AI platform beyond the constraints of the GPU.

Publish and open source their cutting‑edge AI research.

We try every day to build a work environment that empowers people to do their best work through continuous learning, growth and support of those around them.
