We’re seeking a Founding Mechanical Design Engineer who wants to do their life’s work advancing general-purpose labor—someone driven to become the best in their craft by taking full responsibility for architecting an entire system. You’ll thrive in a small, tight-knit team with real ownership, hustle hard, and get your hands dirty, all while being treated like a co-founder instead of an employee.
This is the chance to bet on yourself, build the future, and create impact far beyond the lab.
