About The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly driven Mechanical Engineer to join our hardware team and help build the future of food. You will be responsible for the design, prototyping, and validation of mechanical components for our next-generation food automation products.  Reporting to the lead mechanical engineer of the project, this role is ideal for someone looking for a blend of fast paced prototyping and high quality, production ready design. We’re looking for someone who’s extremely motivated to see their ideas transform from the computer screen to the restaurant, and is eager to own every step along the way.  

The Impact You Will Make 

  • Own the design of parts and subassemblies for our automated food equipment. From concept to production and everything in between.
