We're starting with a desktop Pick and Place machine, used to assemble electronic components onto circuit boards.\nExisting Pick and Place machines are expensive and can require high-pressure air and three phase power. Some only accept job files on a floppy disk. Traditionally, Pick and Place machines have only been used by large companies with factory space, so that's how they're designed.\nBut they don't need to be this way. Our machines facilitate mid-scale manufacturing, where you make your product at a moderate scale before making the risky and expensive jump to a factory contract. With our hardware, anyone can do a production run of their product in-house.\nWhat we're looking for\nWe're looking for someone that is excited by our vision, has experience shipping hardware, and is ready to wear a lot of hats. We're a small team growing quickly. There will be constant opportunity to take on new responsibilities and have serious impact on the direction of the company.\nYou will be responsible for working on new products at Opulo. Mechatronics Engineers at Opulo are with a product from concept to shipping. This includes designing mechanical parts in CAD, interfacing with PCBs, some software scripting, performing lifetime and validation testing according to a PRD, and helping spin up manufacturing. You will help define Opulo's next generation of products. If you're excited at the idea of wearing many hats and enjoy taking ownership, we want you at Opulo as a Mechatronics Engineer.\nCore Responsibilities\nHelp design our next generation of products with manufacturability and cost in mind\nPrototype your designs and test against PRD specifications\nWork closely with Product to determine what approach best solves the problems of our customers\nWork with Manufacturing to get your designs into production\nHelp Sourcing with vendor communications, FAI, and setting quality standards\nDesign and fabricate jigs for our production team to use while assembling hardware\nBasic Qualifications\nIncredibly high agency and self-driven\nProficient in CAD software (Solidworks, Onshape, Fusion, FreeCAD)\nExperience drafting, editing, releasing engineering drawings to vendors\nCan communicate technical information clearly and concisely\nVery familiar with FDM 3D printing, bent sheet metal fabrication, injection molding\n2-3 years experience as a Mechanical/Integration Engineer (or similar)\nBachelor's degree or equivalent\nComfortable pushing at a fast but sustainable pace\nBonus Qualifications\nExperience in FreeCAD\nWorked with pick and place machines before\nExperience with Python\nExperience with electronics (Arduino, designing PCBs, circuit design)\nWhat we value\nWe value these above all else:\nMission - keeping our customers and builders in mind\nPragmatism - making the most effective decision with the resources available\nAgency - taking total ownership of your tasks, and finding a solution regardless of roadblocks\nKindness - showing compassion to our colleagues, customers, community members, and ourselves\nPerks and Benefits\nComprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision insurance\nFlexible PTO plan\nFull access to our prototyping shop, machines, and video equipment\nMany opt-in events and company socials\nAn opportunity to have a significant impact on manufacturing\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\nEven if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing in some way, please apply!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3693,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Machinery","PCB Fabrication & Assembly"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T17:07:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":85,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.852,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/opulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/opulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T09:58:19Z","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":8432,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2590082},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2590082"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc"},{"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%2Fopulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc"},{"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%2Fopulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc"},{"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/opulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopulo-mechatronics-engineer-opulo-inc"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3617554}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"opulo.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3617554},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
