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\nYou’ll own mechanical design for the machines at the core of Verustruct’s robotic construction platform. Working closely with controls, materials, structural engineering, and manufacturing, you’ll take complex hardware subsystems from concept through CAD, analysis, prototyping, testing, and deployment.\nThis role is for someone who is excited to build real machines, iterate quickly, and help define the mechanical architecture of a new category of construction technology.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign mechanical subsystems for wall-supported robotic construction equipment, including automated formwork, locomotion, material delivery, consolidation, and auxiliary construction tools\n\nDrive component selection, tolerance analysis, structural analysis, DFM, and fabrication strategy for in-house and vendor-supported builds\n\nLead build, bring-up, testing, and iteration of next-generation prototype systems\n\nWork cross-functionally with controls, electrical, materials, and structural engineering to integrate hardware into a coordinated robotic construction platform\n\nDevelop design standards, documentation practices, and engineering workflows as the mechanical team grows\n\nMentor junior engineers and interns while helping set the technical bar for hardware development\n\nAdditional Details\nVerustruct is committed to building a high-performing team and compensating employees fairly as we scale from early technical validation into real-world deployment. For this role, the expected total annual compensation package range (salary + equity) is:\nSenior Mechanical Engineer: $135,000-$165,000\n\nLead Mechanical Engineer: $160,000-$185,000\n\nFinal compensation will depend on experience level, technical depth, leadership scope, and fit for the role. Our compensation package includes optionality for a meaningful equity portion designed to reward early employees for helping build Verustruct into a category-defining company.\nRequirements\nWhat We're Looking For\n7+ years of mechanical design experience in robotics, heavy machinery, industrial automation, construction equipment, aerospace, automotive, or similarly complex hardware systems\n\nStrong CAD fluency, ideally in Siemens NX or equivalent, with experience taking designs from concept to fabricated hardware\n\nHands-on experience with prototyping, test planning, failure analysis, and rapid iteration\n\nStrong understanding of mechanisms, structures, actuators, bearings, tolerances, materials, and manufacturability\n\nExperience with FEA, topology optimization, welded structures, sheet metal, machined parts, or large-format assemblies is a strong plus\n\nTrack record of shipping or deploying complex electromechanical systems in real-world environments\n\nComfort working in a fast-moving startup environment where design, analysis, fabrication, and testing happen in tight loops\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 affordability","description_format":"text","description_chars":3981,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Health insurance","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T11:16:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.75,"p_room":1,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":185000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/verustruct-senior-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/verustruct-senior-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T18:44:28Z","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":21543,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4398386},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4398386"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fverustruct-senior-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%2Fverustruct-senior-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%2Fverustruct-senior-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/verustruct-senior-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fverustruct-senior-mechanical-engineer"}]}
