    Description

    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
    • Varied and engaging projects-no two systems are the same
    • Opportunity to work alongside top talent from a diverse, global team
    • Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses
    • 401(k) with up to 50% employer match
    • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, mental health, disability, and life insurance
    • Generous paid time off (25 days) plus market holidays
    • Office perks such as daily meals, snacks, social events, clubs, and sports leagues

    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
