Accurate recording outside the lab depends on hardware that holds sensors in alignment, survives repeated use, stays comfortable, and manages heat, and you'll turn those requirements into designs that can be built, maintained, and used in the field. Your work will shape how Mecka's capture systems perform in people's hands.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign mechanical systems that support accurate recording and can be assembled, maintained, and manufactured efficiently.\n\nBuild and test prototypes to improve fit, weight distribution, stiffness, and ease of use.\n\nAnalyze tolerances, loads, and sensor alignment, and validate key assumptions with physical measurements.\n\nPartner with electrical and sensor engineers on packaging, thermal paths, cable routing, and service access.\n\nReview parts with suppliers and refine designs using assembly results, reliability testing, and field feedback.\n\nWhat You Bring\nMust-have:\n3-4 years of experience in mechanical engineering.\n\nProficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks or Onshape) and the ability to produce clear engineering drawings.\n\nSolid understanding of mechanics, materials, tolerances, fits, fasteners, and dimensional inspection.\n\nHands-on experience building prototypes and testing physical assemblies.\n\nKnowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, molding, sheet metal, or additive manufacturing.\n\nAbility to package electronics and sensors with assembly, thermal behavior, and maintenance in mind.\n\nExperience working with suppliers to resolve part quality, manufacturability, and cost issues.\n\nNice-to-have:\nExperience with wearable products, robot end effectors, handheld mechanisms, or precision sensor mounts.\n\nExperience with flexible materials, thermal analysis, or fatigue and durability testing.\n\nA Note on Applying\nStudies show women and candidates from underrepresented groups often only apply when they meet 100% of the listed qualifications, while others apply after meeting 60%. If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply - we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.\nInclusive Hiring at Mecka\nWe are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive candidate experience. Should you require any accommodation whatsoever during the interview process, please inform us without any hesitation. Mecka is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment and opportunity in all phases of recruitment, selection, and employment, in compliance with employment law.

Mecka is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, fostering a culture of inclusivity and maintaining a work environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.\nUse of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment\nMecka uses artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. This includes activities such as drafting job descriptions, generating interview questions, note-taking and recordings, and supporting sourcing and scheduling workflows. All candidate evaluations, interviews, and hiring decisions are made by members of the Mecka team. While AI tools may assist with screening and assessment, they do not replace human judgment in selection decisions. Our use of AI is intended to streamline routine tasks, improve consistency, and enhance the overall candidate experience. We are committed to upholding principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in all hiring activities. Mecka regularly reviews its recruitment practices to mitigate bias and to ensure alignment with applicable laws and evolving best practices.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4376,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T19:50:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":109,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":112245,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mecka-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mecka-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T10:49:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16737,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678757},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678757"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmecka-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmecka-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmecka-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mecka-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmecka-mechanical-engineer"}]}
