About The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to be a key technical asset for our hardware team as we build the next generation of automated food equipment. You will be a high-level individual contributor responsible for turning complex concepts into robust, production-ready hardware. As an expert who has seen both the right and wrong ways to build systems, you will use that experience to immediately own the design of high-stakes automation subsystems. You will work closely with the project leads to ensure the project’s technical vision is executed flawlessly on a tight timeline. We have multiple product lines at various stages of maturity, we’re looking for someone who brings experience at all stages.

The Impact You Will Make

• You’ll tackle the most difficult design problems, and own all facets of the prototype-to-production process - design, procure, build, test.

• Expertly shift between the different requirements of a design as it progresses through its product lifecycle. You know when a quick test is best, and when to invest time polishing a drawing for manufacturing.

• Independently drive your projects forward. You are accountable for the end result as well as meeting aggressive deadlines with limited oversight.

• Create clean 3D CAD and excellent 2D drawings that set examples for other engineers on the team.

• Mentor younger engineers. Provide design, testing, and validation feedback.

• Willingness to participate in our on-call rotation to provide stores with technical support

What You Bring to the Table

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field

• At least 6yrs of experience in mechanical engineering product development, ideally in industrial automation, food equipment, or biomedical automation. You’ve been a part of products going from concept to production.

• Experience designing electro-mechanical systems combining custom parts with industrial automation components such as pneumatics, linear actuators, servos, and various sensors.

• A track record of successfully balancing pure product performance with secondary factors such as user experience, maintenance, and cost.

• Pride in seeing your projects excel. You don’t shy away from holding yourself and others accountable to make sure things stay on track.

• Experience from all stages of a design cycle. Just as comfortable designing a quick prototype to test as you are designing parts for a wide variety of manufacturing processes.

• Strong experience with Solidworks or equivalent CAD programs. Deep knowledge of best practices for clean parametric CAD and production quality drawings.

• Confidently and cleanly execute changes within a PDM and PLM system depending on project maturity.

• Strong mechanical aptitude. Comfortable building things from scratch, using hand tools and prototyping tools such as mill, lathe, laser cutter, 3D printer.

This role is based in our Boston office in Charlestown, MA. This role requires a minimum of 4 days a week in the office, with additional days as needed based on project demands.
