  • Team-first mentality - The ability and desire to work in a team environment.
  • Startup Stamina - Fathom5 is changing the world at the intersection of industrial systems and advanced software. Sometimes changing the world requires long hours, standing for full days at events, and medical clearance for building and testing actuator prototypes as well as occasional travel in support of our customers.

Ultimately, a successful Lead Design Engineer provides valuable support to the design team while continually improving their engineering knowledge and skills.
The Fathom5 Lead Design Engineer is an intermediate position and will have these credentials:
  • B.S. from an accredited four-year university in Engineering (preferably Mechanical, Aerospace, or Civil)
