More about this role

MatX is building next-generation AI compute infrastructure for large-scale LLM training and inference. We are looking for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to design, develop, and validate mechanical systems for our rack-scale AI platform from compute trays and rack enclosures to fully liquid-cooled infrastructure.

Develop AI compute trays, rack enclosures, and mechanical assemblies in accordance with OCP Rack specifications

Produce 3D models and 2D drawings at the component, sub-assembly, and assembly levels, and maintain the mechanical BOM, drawing packages, and GD&T documentation throughout the NPI stages

Design and integrate liquid cooling hardware including cold plates, manifolds, quick-disconnect fittings, and CDU-to-rack interfaces

Support the mechanical integration of compute trays into rack systems across power, liquid cooling, cabling, and connector interfaces

Carry out tolerance stack-up analysis at multiple levels, from package through rack, to confirm proper fit and straightforward assembly

Take a hands-on role in EVT, DVT, and PVT prototype builds, bring-up, and debug

Apply DFM/DFA principles and contribute to design reviews with JDM/ODM manufacturing partners
