Senior Mechanical / Mechatronics Engineer at Deeptech hardware startup

Are you a pragmatic engineer who thrives at the interface of mechanics and electronics? Join a pioneering deeptech startup in London building the future of sustainable, ultra-durable data storage. This isn't about off-the-shelf parts—you'll own the design of bespoke precision motion systems and electromechanical architectures from the ground up. If you have 5+ years of experience, expert CAD skills, and a passion for solving complex physical problems that impact the planet, this is your chance to lead technical innovation in a fast-paced R&D environment.

Overview

Role overview

You will lead the design and integration of precision electromechanical systems for a revolutionary sustainable data storage platform. Moving fluidly between CAD and the laboratory, you will own the development of bespoke motion systems and microcontroller integrations, collaborating with cross-functional teams to prototype and scale next-generation physical infrastructure for the cloud.
