Small team. Real engineering problems.

What you’ll do

• →Design mechanical components, assemblies, mechanisms, fixtures, and machine elements.
• →Create 3D CAD models, 2D manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and assembly documentation.
• →Perform engineering calculations for strength, stiffness, tolerance stack-up, motion, load paths, and manufacturability.
• →Support prototype development, vendor communication, fabrication, assembly, and testing.
• →Select appropriate materials, bearings, motors, fasteners, linear guides, actuators, sensors, and off-the-shelf components.
• →Work with manufacturing vendors for machining, sheet metal, 3D printing, fabrication, and finishing.
• →Improve designs based on prototype testing, client feedback, cost, reliability, and manufacturing constraints.
• →Create clear technical documentation, design reports, and project updates.
• →Collaborate across electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and business teams.
• →Contribute to internal design tools, templates, engineering workflows, and best practices.

Required

• +Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, machine design, mechanics, materials, and manufacturing processes.
• +Proficiency in at least one CAD tool — SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, Onshape, Creo, or CATIA.
• +Ability to create clean 3D models and production-ready 2D drawings.
• +Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerances, fits, fasteners, bearings, shafts, gears, sheet metal, and machined parts.
• +Familiarity with prototyping and manufacturing methods — CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing, sheet metal, welding, assembly.
• +Clear communication with vendors, clients, and internal teammates.
• +Hands-on problem-solving mindset.

Good to have

• +Experience with robotics, automation, test rigs, precision mechanisms, or industrial equipment.
