## About the role

This is a role where you own whole machines, not just parts. You'll design the mechanical systems that build harnesses - mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, tooling - and then integrate motion, controls, and our vision/robotics systems into a machine that actually runs on the floor. You'll take problems from a blank Onshape document through prototyping, bring-up, and debugging, working shoulder-to-shoulder with robotics, controls, and the technicians running the line.

## What they're looking for

- A mechanical engineer at any level who has built real things - robots, machines, mechanisms, projects (school, internships, FRC/FSAE, personal builds, or years of professional machine design all count)
- Hands-on and resourceful: happy in CAD and at a workbench with a wrench
- Hungry for ownership and able to learn fast
- Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration
- Excited to work across mechanical, controls, and robotics rather than stay in one lane
- Happier when the machine is running on the floor than when the CAD looks clean
