## About the role

Aseon is looking for a Founding Mechanical Engineer to own the physical design of the Aseon Pod from the ground up. As the first dedicated mechanical design hire you will carry full ownership of the mechanical architecture from day one. That means making crucial design decisions with limited precedent, navigating tradeoffs between performance, cost and manufacturability, and seeing decisions through from early concept into hardware that ships across the world.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience with a demonstrable track record of taking complex hardware from concept to shipped product
- Deep command of 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX or equivalent) and the ability to produce detailed drawings, specifications and assembly documentation for manufacture
- Strong fundamentals across mechanisms, electromechanical system design and a broad range of production fabrication methods: casting, sheet metal, machining, injection moulding and beyond
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, materials and production constraints, with a demonstrated ability to design hardware that is practical to fabricate, assemble, deploy and scale
- Experience working across the full production pipeline from building prototypes by hand through to working with quality and manufacturing teams at scale
- Comfort working across mechanical, electrical and robotics engineering boundaries and resolving tradeoffs across disciplines
