Job Description Mechanical Engineer – Build Next-Generation Hardware at an Advanced Manufacturing Startup!
Los Angeles, CA | On-Site

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.

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.
