Mechanical Engineering Design Tech I

Mechanical Designer/CAD Engineer

In the face of rising threats, increasing pressure on affordability, and unprecedented demand for power, Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead.

We build physical AI for the field worker: whether on foot or in a vehicle, our technology is an ironman suit for engineers, linemen, and vegetation crews: same worker, same boots on the ground, now operating at 10x productivity. Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.

Since our first pilot with a utility in June 2024, we've grown fast, now working with three of the five largest utilities in the US. To date, our technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.

To tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Come build the future of (field) work with us.

As a Mechanical Designer/CAD Engineer at Treeswift, you'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real-world field deployment, building the CAD models in OnShape to realize the hardware that we manufacture in house. You'll work alongside the Head of Hardware and Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to own the full arc from prototyping to production, working closely with our field operations, software, and robotics teams to ensure our products perform where it counts most. Build and manage our CAD files in OnShape. We realize it is a relatively new software, but ideally you are just like us and bring many years of professional experience using SolidWorks or CREO

We take full advantage of the new age of fast small volume manufacturing and exploit that to our advantage.

Own and improve CAD hygiene and update revs

Apply your experience with commercial products you've taken to market to inform DFM

Raise the bar for how the engineering team collaborates on rapid development, and ensure we get to production smoothly

You have a proven track record of taking physical products to market in a commercial setting, not just research or academic contexts

Not just 3D prints but comfortable with traditional hand prototyping if needed.

You have built and maintained medium to large scale CAD models and BOM's

A degree in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent work experience

Familiarity with production methods and material science. You know what we know by hands on experience, not a bookworm academic

Even though this role's primary function is CAD, you are naturally curious and can jump in with us to solve design and engineering challenges. Sit with a cup of coffee alongside us and bounce ideas back and forth.

We value team members who are focused on working towards the best outcomes for the customer and the business.

We are constantly learning – from each other and from our customers. Competitive salary and equity package
