10XBeta is a vertically integrated venture studio at the intersection of healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and innovation. We design, develop, and commercialize connected medical devices, drug delivery systems, and resilience-oriented technologies. Our team combines product development expertise with investment discipline to build, scale, and partner with high-impact ventures. Join us in reshaping the future of healthcare technology.

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer with strong experience designing and testing complex electromechanical systems in regulated or defense environments. You will contribute to the design, prototyping, and qualification of next-generation medical and resilience devices. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience applying MIL-STD-810 environmental testing standards and working with JECETS or equivalent test facilities. This role blends design engineering, systems integration, and test execution, supporting hardware development from concept through verification.

• Design, develop, and refine mechanical components and assemblies for R&D and production.
• Perform environmental qualification testing (vibration, shock, temperature, humidity) per MIL-STD-810 standards.
• Collaborate with external partners and testing labs (JECETS or equivalent) to validate system performance.
• Develop CAD models, technical drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Interface with electrical and firmware engineers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical and electronic systems.
• Support build activities, including prototype assembly, fixture design, and supplier coordination.
• Contribute to risk analysis, DFMEA documentation, and design reviews.

• You are a precision thinker who thrives in complexity. You move fluidly between CAD design, hands-on prototyping, and rigorous testing — transforming ideas into resilient, manufacturable systems.
• You are a builder
  . You bring structure to ambiguity, translating technical requirements into elegant mechanical solutions that endure under pressure.
• You are a collaborator
  . You work seamlessly with electrical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure every detail aligns.
• You are a disciplined and steady
  . You document thoroughly, test methodically, and deliver work that stands up to scrutiny — from the lab to the field.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience designing and testing electromechanical or medical systems.
• Demonstrated knowledge of MIL-STD-810 environmental test methods and qualification procedures.
• Experience working with JECETS or similar test frameworks.
• Proficiency in CAD software (Solid Works preferred).
• Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing processes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; hands-on prototyping experience required.
• Experience with ISO 13485, DoD, or FDA-regulated environments is a plus.

• Exposure to medical device lifecycle documentation (DHF, DMR, etc.).
• Experience with 3D printing, DFM/DFA, or rapid prototyping methods.
• Knowledge of thermal and structural simulation tools (e.g., Ansys).

We offer a competitive salary for this role, with an expected range of $110,000 to $120,000 annually
, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
