Full Job Description
As a Mechanical Engineer, you'll leverage your strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and materials science to process and resolve mechanical problems, design and implement custom mechanical tooling and associated processes, and enable the handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies throughout the product life cycle. You'll be responsible for designing, developing, and modifying mechanical engineering layouts, schematics, and specifications. You will oversee manufacturing and installation processes, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulations-- and you'll coordinate the procurement and assembly of mechanical components and equipment for design projects, identifying sources of critical parts and subsystems to resolve technical issues.
This role is for a strong mechanical engineer who will improve how engineering gets work done. You won't be designing mechanical parts or subsystems day to day, but you will use your ME background and skills to standardize and scale how we work. You'll build solutions (processes, tools, automation, standards) that the engineering community uses to move faster, reduce errors, and scale best practices.
What you'll do:
- Identify high-friction engineering workflows and turn them into scalable solutions
- Build, document, and roll out process improvements
- Apply structured problem-solving and sound engineering judgment to ambiguous challenges
- Use AI as a daily tool to accelerate analysis, drafting, automation, and knowledge capture
- Measure impact (cycle time, rework, escapes, efficiency) and iterate based on data
- Communicate crisply across groups: what's changing, why, how to use it, and what success looks like
- Act as a senior contributor and resource to other engineers on project execution and prioritization
Core Background:
- Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals and credibility with senior engineers
- Experience working across design, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, or sustaining teams without direct authority
- Ability to assess unfamiliar technical and business problem spaces to determine what needs to be done, by whom, and by when
- Proven ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment
- Experience presenting concise updates to technical and leadership audiences
Skills:
- Strong project execution and coordination skills
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience using AI tools responsibly to draft, analyze, synthesize, and automate routine work
- Root-cause / CI methods (8D, A3, DMAIC, 5-Why)
Temperament:
- High ownership and follow-through
- Drives momentum, accountability, and closure
- Execution-minded: delivers working improvements fast, then iterates
- Comfortable with ambiguity; can make progress with partial information
- Collaborative and direct; earns trust through clarity and results
- Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new topics and unfamiliar problem domains
Nice to have
- Experience with knowledge management, standard work, or system rollout/change management
- Experience launching new processes or tools and supporting change through adoption
- Tooling mindset: can prototype lightweight solutions (scripts, dashboards, automation) or partner tightly with those who can
