Principal Mechanical Engineer / Systems Engineer

You Will

• Understand the full HaloBraid machine and its architecture: identify design, tolerance, assembly, serviceability, and dependency issues, and drive them to resolution.
• Personally deliver IC engineering: own a subassembly from 3D CAD through pilot and toward production-ready parts.
• Review design work across the team to reduce complexity and raise design standards.
• Build strong test/experiment/decision frameworks
• Apply DFM/DFA judgment and prepare for pilot builds, supplier engagement, and contract-manufacturer handoff.
• Mentor engineers, set practical best practices and standards, and strengthen our engineering culture without becoming process-heavy.
• Collaborate with electrical, industrial design, manufacturing, and suppliers.

You Have

• 10+ years, or equivalent depth, in electromechanical product development
• Strong mechanical architecture and product-design judgment: you can see the whole system and its tradeoffs.
• A track record of delivering designs that made it through pilot or production.
• An ability to review CAD and identify design, assembly, and serviceability issues.
• A strong experiment / test / decision-making framework
• Fluency with control drawings, tolerances, assemblies, and manufacturability.
• Taken a product or a major subsystem from prototype toward production.
• A desire to mentor other engineers without adding bureaucracy

Desired Skills (Optional)

• BOM ownership
• Supplier searches with technical and cost recommendations: CM / supplier interface experience.
• Product roadmap input
• Production-transfer experience.
• People-management experience.
• Robotics or mechatronics experience.
• Production embedded / electrical interface awareness.

Who You Are

• User-centric. You want to build things people actually use and love.
• Low ego, adaptable, collaborative.
• A fast, honest iterator. You learn through testing and user feedback, and you follow through on what you suggest.
• Driven by the mission. A hard, unsolved robotics problem that gives millions of people their time back is your idea of a good challenge.
• A clear communicator
