TITLE:  Mechanical Engineering Lead

ENVIRONMENT: Hardware, AI

LOCATION:  San Francisco, CA

COMPENSATION RANGE:  $140,000.00 – $160,000.00   DOE

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS: Bachelors Degree in Engineering

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: 1-5 years experience

NUMBER OF POSITIONS AVAILABLE: 1

POSITION SUMMARY:

We are hiring our first dedicated mechanical engineer to own the mechanical design of every product it builds. First up is the next revision of its sensor kit: a sealed IP67 enclosure with LiDARs, cameras, GPS, IMUs and onboard compute that mounts to customers’ vehicles and turns every drive into a 3D map of their site. You’ll take designs from concept CAD through prototyping, thermal and vibration design, DFM with suppliers, assembly and field validation, then design new products as we expand into construction and energy. We are looking for a hands-on, first-principles builder with a track record of owning real hardware, whether on a competition team, in personal projects or in industry.

Travel to customer sites and suppliers including China.

Work experience

Spent multiple years on a college engineering design team (e.​g.​ FSAE,​ Baja,​ rocketry,​ Solar Car,​ robotics or similar) in a mechanical role

2+ hardware internships or roles,​ at least one where you designed parts of the product itself.​

Hard skills

Thermal or vibration design on a real build (cooling electronics in a sealed enclosure,​ heat paths,​ mounting and isolation,​ shock,​ modal analysis);​ both is ideal

Tech stack

CAD, FEA, GD&T, DFM, Thermal Modeling, Vibration Analysis
