Mechanical Engineer Opportunity
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 13 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 Excellent communication and teamwork skills
