Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

Full-time | On-site | Redwood City, CA

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in mechanical design, prototyping, and real-world system integration.

You'll be responsible for transforming mission-driven requirements into functional, ruggedized prototypes that perform under demanding conditions.

This is an opportunity to join a high-impact engineering team developing advanced hardware systems at the intersection of mechanics, fluidics, and electronics - built for reliability, precision, and field performance.

What You'll Do

• Design & Develop : Create compact, ruggedized subsystems, housings, and rigs in CAD optimized for reliability under shock, vibration, and environmental stress.
• Prototype & Fabricate : Rapidly prototype components using CNC machining, 3D printing, vacuum / pressure forming, laser cutting, and other fabrication methods.
• Integrate Fluidic Systems : Design and assemble microfluidic and airflow subsystems, including manifolds, channels, valves, pumps, and sealing interfaces.
• Build Mechanical Assemblies : Develop linkages, actuation rigs, and gear trains that interface seamlessly with electromechanical and thermal systems.
• Engineer for Production : Apply DFM / DFA principles, tolerance analysis, and validation testing to ensure designs scale efficiently from prototype to production.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally : Work with electrical and systems engineers to integrate mechanical, thermal, and fluidic elements into cohesive assemblies.
• Test & Iterate : Travel for live demonstrations, field testing, and stress validation, capturing operator feedback to refine designs through rapid iteration.
