About this role
We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer for Midjourney Medical — from precision electromechanical assemblies up to the large-scale structures and mechanisms that hold everything together and make it move. This role spans the full range of scale: one week you might be refining a compact transducer mount, the next you're architecting a structural frame or designing the motion system that positions hardware within it.This is a hands-on role on a small cross-functional team. You'll take problems from whiteboard sketch to working hardware yourself — designing in CAD, prototyping in the shop, testing, iterating, and integrating with research teams, electrical and software engineers along the way. We move fast and expect you to drive your own work: identifying what needs to happen next, making sound engineering calls without waiting for permission, and shipping hardware that works.
What you'll doOwn parts of the mechanical systems end to end — structures, mechanisms, and electromechanical integration
Design large-scale structures: frames, weldments, enclosures, and support systems, with attention to stiffness, weight, manufacturability, and serviceability
Design mechanisms: linkages, motion stages, actuation systems for precise, reliable positioning and articulation
Integrate transducers, electronics, cabling, and thermal management into large physical systems
Perform engineering analysis (tolerance stack-ups, structural/FEA, mechanism kinematics) to de-risk designs before committing to hardware
Build and test relentlessly — 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and hands-on fabrication are core to how you'll validate designs
Select parts and materials for system-level integration, balancing performance, cost, and lead time
Drive projects independently from concept through validation, and collaborate closely with a small cross-disciplinary team to hit project goals
What we're looking forBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
5+ years of experience designing and shipping electromechanical hardware
Demonstrated track record in mechanism design — you can point to mechanisms you've designed that work reliably in the real world
Experience designing larger-scale structures (frames, gantries, enclosures, or similar), not just component-level parts
Proficiency in CAD (we use OnShape) for design, optimization, and system integration
Strong rapid-prototyping experience — this is a must; you should be as comfortable in the shop as at your desk
Background in R&D environments where the problem isn't fully defined and the path forward is yours to figure out
Excellent creative problem-solving and analytical skills
Experience working closely with a small cross-disciplinary team
Who thrives hereAutonomous. You see the goal, break down the work, and go.
Hands-on. You'd rather build the prototype today than schedule a meeting about it. You know your designs are only as good as the hardware they become.
Bias for action. You make decisions with incomplete information, test cheap and early, and treat mistakes as data.
