About the role
- Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way.
- We're reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better.
- You will bring a high level of engineering discipline to our team, specifically driving standards in GD&T, detailed drawing generation, and structural analysis (FEA).
Responsibilities
- Help Lead FAB1 Commissioning: Take ownership of key mechanical subsystems during the factory launch. Troubleshoot assembly issues, oversee equipment installation, and validate system performance against requirements.
- High-Fidelity Design & Documentation: Create complex 2D technical drawings for fabrication and assembly. You will be the internal standard-bearer for GD&T (ASME Y14.5), ensuring parts are manufactured to tolerance and fit the first time.
- Structural Analysis (FEA): Perform Finite Element Analysis on fixtures, gantries, and end-effectors to ensure safety factors and structural rigidity meet industrial standards before fabrication.
- Detailed Mechanical Design: Design robust mechanical systems using Onshape, from large weldments and safety enclosures to precision grippers and fixtures.
- Vendor & Fabrication Management: Liaise with external machine shops and vendors. Your detailed drawing packages will be the primary communication tool to ensure external partners deliver quality parts on schedule.
- Root Cause Analysis: When things break (and they will), lead the investigation. Use data and physical inspection to identify failure modes and implement permanent engineering fixes.
- Mentorship: Act as a technical mentor to junior engineers, modeling best practices in design review, documentation, and safety.
- Help Lead FAB1 Commissioning: Take ownership of key mechanical subsystems during the factory launch.
- Troubleshoot assembly issues, oversee equipment installation, and validate system performance against requirements.
- Create complex 2D technical drawings for fabrication and assembly.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in machine design, industrial automation, or heavy equipment engineering.
- Strong proficiency in GD&T: You can read, write, and explain geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to ensure manufacturability and inspectability.
- You can read, write, and explain geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to ensure manufacturability and inspectability.
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Simulation experience: Practical experience using FEA (Ansys, SolidWorks Sim, or cloud-native tools) to validate structural loads and deflection.
- Commissioning experience: Proven track record of bringing hardware from the design phase to full operation in a factory or industrial setting.
- Hands-on capability: You are comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment (mills, lathes, etc.) to modify parts or build prototypes.
Nice to have
- Experience with large-scale gantry systems or robotic workcells.
- Background in the construction, automotive, or aerospace industries.
- Experience designing welding fixtures or heavy-duty material handling equipment.
- Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems and version control in a fast-paced environment.
- Please include a portfolio or examples of previous work (specifically highlighting drawing packages or complex mechanisms) with your application.
- Expert-level CAD skills (Onshape preferred) with a portfolio demonstrating complex assembly management.
