The company’s mission is to help close the U.S. housing gap of 4.5 million homes by transforming how residential structures are designed and built. Verustruct focuses on integrating advanced robotics, automation, and novel construction methods into practical, scalable solutions. Team members collaborate across disciplines to bring next-generation construction systems from concept to field deployment, with a strong emphasis on real-world impact and long-term sustainability.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Responsible Mechanical Engineer (RE) you will help design, build, and test the machines at the core of Verustruct’s robotic construction platform and own cleansheet designs. Working closely with experienced mechanical, robotics, materials, and structural engineers, you will contribute throughout the complete hardware-development cycle, including CAD, finite element analysis, mechanism design and selection, fabrication, assembly, testing, failure investigation, and design iteration. In the level II position, you will own entire subassemblies and be responsible for helping design, test, and scale robotic devices able to construct the future of housing.\nThis role is designed for an engineer who wants to build real machines, learn quickly, and take on increasing technical ownership as Verustruct advances from full-scale prototypes toward field deployment.\nThis is a full-time, on-site role based at our headquarters in Torrance, California.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and develop components and mechanical subsystems for robotic construction equipment, including automated formwork, locomotion, material delivery, concrete consolidation, actuation, and auxiliary construction tools\n\nCreate detailed CAD models, assemblies, drawings, bills of materials, tolerance analyses, and manufacturing documentation\n\nPerform mechanical calculations and structural analysis to support design decisions and validate component performance\n\nSelect motors, actuators, bearings, fasteners, sensors, structural members, and other mechanical components\n\nWork directly with internal fabrication resources and outside vendors to manufacture machined, welded, sheet-metal, 3D-printed, and off-the-shelf assemblies\n\nAssemble, commission, and test prototype hardware at subsystem and integrated-system levels\n\nDevelop test fixtures, define test procedures, collect data, investigate failures, and incorporate findings into subsequent design iterations\n\nCollaborate with controls, electrical, materials, structural, and building-design teams to integrate mechanical hardware into a coordinated robotic platform\n\nMaintain clear engineering documentation, participate in design reviews, and contribute to the development of Verustruct’s design standards and mechanical workflows\n\nTake increasing ownership of subsystems and technical decisions as your experience and familiarity with the platform grow\n\nRequirements\nWhat We're Looking For\nBachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, robotics, aerospace engineering, or a closely related field\n\nStrong understanding of mechanical-engineering fundamentals, including statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, machine design, and manufacturing processes\n\nExperience developing mechanical designs in a professional, academic, internship, research, or project-based environment\n\nCAD proficiency, ideally in Siemens NX, or demonstrated experience with a comparable platform such as SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, or Autodesk Inventor\n\nHands-on experience assembling, testing, troubleshooting, or improving mechanical hardware\n\nFamiliarity with mechanisms, actuators, motors, bearings, fasteners, tolerances, materials, and fabrication processes\n\nAbility to communicate technical reasoning clearly and document engineering work effectively\n\nA practical, curious, and iterative approach to solving open-ended hardware problems\n\nComfort working in a fast-moving startup environment where design, fabrication, and testing occur in tight development loops\n\nCandidates should be comfortable independently progressing defined subsystems through design, analysis, fabrication, assembly, and testing, while seeking input at appropriate technical decision points.\n\nExperience in robotics, industrial automation, aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, construction equipment, or similarly complex hardware systems is particularly relevant.\n\nBenefits\nBenefits include:\nHealth insurance: Silver PPO plan, 80% company-paid, with optional dental and vision coverage\n\nRetirement: 401(k) plan with 4% employer match\n\nTime off: Flexible PTO policy and observed federal holidays\n\nRelocation support: Available for exceptional candidates relocating to the Los Angeles / Torrance area\n\nHigh-ownership role: Opportunity to help lead mechanical engineering for a venture-backed robotics company tackling housing
