The opportunity 

As a Sr Mechanical Engineer within our Hardware Equipment Team, you'll play a pivotal role in designing and developing advanced, automated clean room manufacturing equipment for diffractive optics used in smart glasses. This position offers the chance to innovate at the intersection of precision mechanics and cutting-edge optics, contributing to products that push the boundaries of wearable technology. You'll work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your designs directly impact production quality and efficiency, enabling single-digit micron precision in high-stakes applications. If you're passionate about resourceful problem-solving and turning complex challenges into robust solutions, this is an opportunity to grow with a team that's shaping the future of augmented reality.

Location: This role will be based fully onsite in Austin, TX. Relocation assistance is available for non-local candidates.

What you'll do 

• Design and integrate precision mechanical systems, including robotics, linear motors, encoders, air bearings, and exact constraint mechanisms, to achieve micron-level accuracy in manufacturing equipment.
• Collaborate on the development of machine vision systems integration, pneumatic actuators, valving, system controls and sensor integration and electrical panels for automated process equipment.
• Lead the mechanical design of dispensing and curing systems, optical positioners, and metrology tools to ensure reliable performance in clean room environments.
• Perform design analysis, simulations, and bench-top prototyping to validate equipment functionality under varying priorities and constraints.
• Optimize machine frames and precision mechanisms for stability, repeatability, and ease of assembly.
• Troubleshoot and iterate on designs based on testing feedback, balancing scrappy resourcefulness with rigorous process adherence.
• Work cross-functionally with electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to integrate components into complete systems.  Also work with OEM's and contract manufacturers to create multiple instances of your system designs.
• Document designs through specifications, drawings, manuals, and testing procedures to support scalable production.

The experience you bring

• 5+ years of professional experience in mechanical design for precision manufacturing equipment or automation systems.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Proven expertise in designing systems with micron-level precision, such as stages, actuators, or optical alignment tools.
• Hands-on experience with CAD software (CREO for modeling complex assemblies preferred).
• Familiarity with pneumatic and electromechanical components, including valves, linear motors, and encoders.
• Knowledge of clean room standards and manufacturing processes like dispensing, curing, and metrology.
• Ability to conduct design analysis, including FEA, tolerance stack-ups, and failure mode assessments.
• Experience in prototyping, testing, and iterating on mechanical designs in a resource-constrained environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of adapting to changing priorities while maintaining rigor in critical areas.

It's exciting if you also have

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Experience with machine vision cameras or optical systems in precision applications.
• Familiarity with air bearings or advanced constraint design principles.
• Background in optics manufacturing, machine vision, robotics, or complex capital equipment.
• Proficiency in simulation tools like ANSYS or MATLAB for mechanical optimization.
