## About the role

We're hiring a Mechanical Engineer to work on some of the hardest problems in high-mix manufacturing. One of the core constructs of our culture is to get hands dirty first and engineer solutions second. We require no proficiency in CNC machining, but rather a capacity to learn it at lightning speed. You'll work directly with the founding team and partner closely with our software team. What you identify on the factory floor will directly shape the software and hardware automations you build in the future.

## What they're looking for

- A degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent hands-on background
- Proficient in CAD and eager to learn CAM and CNC from the ground up
- Ready to grind on the facility floor
