Mechanical Engineering Lead

You’ll lead Mechanisms and Fluid Systems and build the teams to expand the Matter Compiler’s capabilities. The machines your team develops will determine which devices we can manufacture, at what throughput and cost. The work spans precision motion, workholding, fluid handling precision beyond demonstrated state-of-art, thermal control, and multi-physics processes. Reporting to our Director of Engineering, you’ll help set technical direction and own delivery for your team’s Nodes.

This is a hands-on technical lead role and your first step into people leadership. You’ll be in design reviews, the lab, and the machine shop, digging into the physics, setting the architecture with principal engineers and your Director, and solving hard problems alongside your team. You’ll also learn to develop the engineers on your team, giving them the autonomy and frameworks to own design and execution independently, while your Director trains and coaches you on how to manage and lead well.
