Mechanical Engineer

We're a small startup building a smarter way to manage physical inventory — think automated shelving and retrieval systems that track what you have, where it is, and how much space it takes up. We're looking for a hands‑on mechanical engineer to help us design and build it.

• Design and build the physical hardware — frames, moving parts, storage mechanisms, and the components that make the system move and function reliably
• Select motors, actuators, sensors (like weight and dimension sensors), and off‑the‑shelf parts that fit our needs
• Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot what isn't working, and iterate quickly
• Work closely with a small team — you'll talk directly with the founders and collaborate with electrical and software engineers
• Keep drawings, specs, and documentation organized and up to date

• 2+ years of mechanical engineering experience, ideally with physical products or machinery
• Comfortable using CAD software (we use Onshape)
• Experience with motors, linear motion systems, or automated/robotic equipment is a big plus
• Hands‑on — you'll be building and testing real hardware, not just drawing on a computer
• Strong problem‑solving instincts and ability to work in a fast‑moving, resource‑conscious environment
• $80‑$110k + equity
• Fully covered health, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible PTO
• This is a fully onsite role in Midtown Manhattan — no remote or relocation considered at this time
