This role puts you at the heart of a ground-up hypercar program where aerospace-level engineering meets high-performance automotive innovation. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a small, elite team designing systems from scratch — no legacy baggage, just pure engineering. If you want real ownership, real hardware, and real impact, this is the kind of opportunity engineers dream about.

Mechanical Engineer Benefits

  • Opportunity to design next-generation hypercar systems from a completely clean slate
  • Direct access to highly experienced engineering founders with aerospace backgrounds
  • High-ownership environment where your work directly shapes final vehicle performance
  • Fast career growth within a small, focused team
  • Hands-on engineering with rapid design-to-prototype cycles
  • Chance to innovate across multiple domains: engine, drivetrain, suspension, aerodynamics, and vehicle structure

Mechanical Engineer Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize mechanical systems for a high-performance road vehicle
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to develop integrated solutions
  • Use CAD tools to create detailed models, assemblies, and design iterations
  • Support testing, validation, and refinement of mechanical components
  • Contribute to ground-up system development with strong ownership of assigned hardware
  • Identify engineering challenges and develop creative, practical solutions
  • Participate in design reviews and provide technical input across the vehicle program

Mechanical Engineer Qualifications

  • 1–3 years of mechanical or aerospace engineering experience
  • Proven success in engineering-related projects involving complex systems
  • Proficiency with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong problem-solving ability with meticulous attention to detail
  • Demonstrated creativity and innovation in engineering solutions
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, highly technical startup environment
