This is a hands-on, high ownership role where you’d:

• Lead a complex, integrated machine from early concept through to production-ready hardware

Key skills / Experience required:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Product Design or similar
• Software, programming or controls experience
• Proven experience taking complex machines from concept to market launch
• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals (mechanisms, tolerances, materials)
• A strong bias toward practical, on-site engineering and experimentation

Benefits:

• Equity: All employees receive equity
• Private Healthcare: Full coverage provide
• Development Support: Training and growth encouraged

Overview:

Join a scaling team developing accessible, sustainable, low-cost manufacturing, and building a new class of manufacturing technology - fast, digital, zero-waste, and fundamentally different from anything on the market.

They’re looking for a Senior Designer/Engineer to take a complex, integrated machine from prototype through to a repeatable, production-ready product.
