Design and prototype custom mechanisms and actuators under aggressive timelines
Drive concepts from first prototype through high-volume production
Personally design parts for volume manufacturing processes, including:
Injection molding
Die casting
Stamping / sheet metal
Extrusion
Powder metal / MIM
Partner closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) to ensure DFM, reliability, and cost targets are met
Build systems that are not just elegant but robust, testable, and shippable at scale
What We're Looking For
Exceptionally strong mechanical intuition, you understand how things move, fail, and improve
Proven ability to design and prototype quickly without sacrificing rigor
Track record of shipping reliable, hardware products at scale
Deep hands-on experience designing custom mechanisms, joints, transmissions, and actuators
Experience owning mechanical architecture for complex systems with dynamic loads and tight tolerances
Comfortable operating across ambiguity, tight timelines, and high expectations
Required Background
Currently working at a robotics company (hands-on mechanical role)
Background in electro-mechanical systems with real moving parts (not CAD-only work)
Experience taking designs from concept → prototype → volume production
Ideal Signals
Designed robotic arms, legs, mobile platforms, end-effectors, or actuation systems
Personally responsible for motor selection, gearing, kinematics, or load paths

💼 Founding/Staff Design Engineer
💵 $200-300k base
Our client is an applied AI research lab combining world-class AI expertise-including alumni from Google DeepMind-with exceptional product execution to bring AGI-powered tools to finance.
As a Design Engineer, you will own how users experience complex AI systems, defining both the UX and the implementation in modern frontend technologies. You'll be the bridge between cutting-edge research and highly polished, intuitive interfaces that financial professionals can trust.
What you'll do:
Own the end-to-end user experience for core products, from early prototypes to polished, production-ready interfaces.
Build high-quality, interactive frontends using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind, making complex AI systems feel intuitive and trustworthy.
Collaborate closely with researchers, PMs, and engineers to translate novel AI capabilities into clear and actionable workflows for users.
Define and maintain the design system and component library, ensuring consistency, performance, and visual quality across all products.
Run rapid experiments, gather user feedback, and iterate quickly, shaping product decisions with real-world data and insights.
Make strategic technical choices-refactoring or redesigning frontend architectures when it improves quality, speed, or maintainability.
Ideal candidate:
Have built high-performance, polished web applications end-to-end, ideally in complex or data-heavy domains.
Are an expert in modern frontend technologies (TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Next.js) and can translate high-level product concepts into production-ready interfaces.
Can make non-trivial backend changes (Node.js or Python) and implement small services when needed to support product features end-to-end.
Are skilled in at least one statically typed language, care deeply about type safety across UI and APIs, and make technology choices with an eye toward maintainability and long-term quality.
Have deployed frontends or supporting services using Docker and Kubernetes on a major cloud provider-or can learn quickly.
Use AI to accelerate your work-generating code, copy, or design variants-but critically review outputs to maintain UX quality and correctness.
Thrive in high-performing, cross-disciplinary teams, enjoying collaboration with designers, researchers, and engineers.
Love technically challenging problems at the intersection of interaction design, performance, and complex AI behavior.
Nice to have:
Experience designing for professional or enterprise users (traders, analysts, operators).
Experience with data visualization or building rich, real-time interfaces.
Previous early-stage startup experience or experience as one of the first design/UX hires.
Compensation & setup:
Competitive salary + meaningful equity upside

About Us:
Indent is building the platform that every software engineer begins and ends their day in. Our customers are large engineering teams who use Indent for everything from incident response to code review to data analysis. Indent is built to handle these tasks in the real world (think analyzing a 30,000 table warehouse, not vibe querying a tiny Postgres instance) with minimal setup.
We are a small, engineering-focused team. We come from a background of systems and infrastructure engineering, working on things like the Swift Compiler, distributed data orchestration software, and scaled video conferencing systems. We think that rigor is an advantage in this get-rich-quick market.
We are taking an ambitious approach to a massive market. At Indent, one engineer can own a product like the Incident Response Agent that outperforms entire companies solving the same problem.
