About the Job

Requirements

  • Foundational understanding of mechatronics, mechanism design, kinematics, and dynamics.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience turning ideas into hardware and bridging theory with practical implementation.
  • Experience addressing ambiguous, open-ended problems and creating workable designs with minimal oversight.
  • Ability to make design decisions involving 3D computer-aided design, 2D drawings, material selection, and manufacturability.

Responsibilities

  • Make early technical and design decisions, from part selection through tradeoffs, to ensure systems can be built and manufactured at scale.
  • Anticipate challenges in actuation, kinematics, sensor integration, and embedded controls to help keep the team moving forward.
  • Contribute to test plans, technical documentation, and engineering reviews.
  • Validate designs and iterate hardware based on performance feedback.
  • Build proof-of-concept designs, run experiments, and communicate findings.

Desired Qualifications

  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, robotics, physics, or mathematics.
  • Experience with rapid fabrication, tolerance analysis, and mechanical simulation.
  • Ability to collaborate across disciplines and evaluate tradeoffs to get a complete system working.
  • Understanding of high-volume manufacturing processes, including injection molding, die casting, stamping, machining, and bonding.
  • Proven record of mechanically integrating electronics, including sensors, printed circuit boards, antennas, and batteries, in complex assemblies.
  • At least 3 years of experience taking hardware products from concept to production, with a portfolio of shipped mechanical designs.

About the Company

Mach Industries

Develops unmanned military systems and propulsion

Mach Industries designs and builds unmanned military systems, including VTOL drones, long-range strike weapons, and counter-UAS, along with propulsion and energetics. Its products combine flight hardware, power plants, and munitions into compact, military-ready systems, with most components produced in-house to lower costs. The company differentiates itself through vertical integration, a large California manufacturing footprint, and acquisitions (like Exquadrum) to expand solid-rocket-motor capability and reduce bottlenecks. Its goal is to scale manufacturing and accelerate programs to meet defense contracts and national security needs, supported by large funding rounds to grow production and operations.
