AIM delivers autonomous earthmoving for mining, construction, and defense. Transform your fleet with AI-powered machines that maximize productivity and safety. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will design and deliver the core mechanical systems that enable AIM's autonomous machines to operate safely, reliably, and predictably in the field. Own major mechanical subsystems such as sensor suites, compute enclosures, LiDAR and camera mounts, structural brackets, safety housings, and environmental protection systems.
What they're looking for
- Basic Qualifications
- BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
- 7+ years of experience in mechanical engineering and product development
- Strong mechanical fundamentals: machine design, structural analysis, thermal analysis & modeling
- Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, OnShape, or similar)
- Experience performing component-level FEA and mechanical simulation

About Us
AIM builds autonomy for the real world - robots that move mountains. Our systems combine software, hardware, robotics, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized, safety-critical machinery operating in some of the harshest environments on earth. Our customers depend on our machines to work reliably in dust, mud, vibration, shock loads, thermal extremes, and unpredictable jobsite conditions.
Mechanical engineering is at the foundation of this mission. Our hardware must be robust to all the conditions the machines work in, tolerating shock, vibration, and environmental conditions from full desert sun to deep snow. The system must be field-serviceable, and deeply integrated with autonomy, electrical, and software systems. We design mechanical systems that perform not just in CAD or simulation, but in real-world chaos: misalignment, wear, debris, hydraulic spray, operator variability, and global deployment.
We're scaling fast and building the mechanical engineering foundation that will define the next century of construction and autonomy.
