What You’ll Do

  • Design and develop mechanical components and systems for high-performance computing platforms and specialized trading infrastructure
  • Build detailed CAD models and production drawings for assemblies, enclosures, fixtures, and other mechanical subsystems
  • Conduct engineering analyses, including thermal simulations, structural evaluations, and system-level tradeoff studies
  • Prototype, test, and refine hardware designs through hands-on validation and integration
  • Translate concepts into manufacturable solutions while optimizing for performance, reliability, and serviceability
  • Partner with external vendors and contract manufacturers to support fabrication, assembly, and production
  • Develop tooling, fixtures, and test setups to enhance assembly, testing, and validation processes
  • Assist with prototype builds, system bring-up, and troubleshooting during deployment
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, firmware, and infrastructure) to integrate mechanical designs into complete systems
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, including drawings, specifications, assembly instructions, and test procedures
  • Provide design input to improve manufacturability, scalability, and operational performance

What You’ll Get

  • Hands-on experience building highly specialized, high-performance hardware with direct business impact
  • A collaborative environment where your work is visible and valued
  • Variated and engaging projects—no two systems are the same

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
  • 3+ years of experience designing mechanical systems using CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360)
  • Experience with thermal management and cooling solutions for electronics
  • Proven ability to take designs from concept through prototyping and production
  • Hands-on experience with fabrication and prototyping methods (machining, 3D printing, fixture design, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability (DFM) principles
  • Experience performing engineering analyses such as structural, thermal, or CFD simulations
  • Ability to troubleshoot mechanical issues during prototyping and implement practical solutions
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing clear technical documentation
  • Authorization to work in the United States (no sponsorship available)

Nice to Have

  • Experience designing hardware for high-performance computing systems, networking equipment, or electronics enclosures
  • Familiarity working with contract manufacturers or external fabrication partners
  • Experience with fiber optics, dense electronic assemblies, or complex electromechanical systems
  • Hands-on experience building or integrating systems such as servers, robotics, drones, or optical platforms
  • Personal interest or experience in building or modifying computers
