## About the role

Antora is scaling production while preparing the newest generation of our product and a new gigafactory to build it in. We are looking for an engineer who can take a product concept and carry it all the way to a running process: define the build sequence, design the process, stations, and custom tooling that enable it, develop the work instructions, and integrate it all on the floor, working closely with design engineering, production, and the technicians who build with what they create.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Proven ability to take products from concept to build sequence to running process, with designs carried through detailed design, GD&T, and formal change control
- First-principles structural design capability: FEA verified by hand calculations, with sound judgment on loads, load paths, and factors of safety, especially for safety-critical lifting and handling equipment
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred), and hands-on fluency with machining, welding, and sheet metal well enough to design for them
- Grounded in DFM, lean manufacturing principles, and PFMEA and work instruction development
- Strong cross-functional collaborator, decisive with incomplete information, and comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment
