Mechanical Design Engineer
Droyd
Design engineer job in San Francisco, CA
About the team
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments. Our robots operate in production settings, which means mechanical design has to be robust, manufacturable, and tightly integrated with electronics and control systems.
Our mechanical team designs the structures, linkages, and assemblies that make the robots real. This work moves fast and lives on the shop floor as much as it does in CAD.
About the role
As a Mechanical DesignEngineer at Droyd, you'll own mechanical subsystems from first sketch through working prototype. You'll design, build, break, and iterate on real hardware.
This is a hands‑on role. You'll spend time in CAD, but also at the printer, in the shop, and on the robot. You'll work closely with electrical, software, and robotics teams to bring systems together.
This role is based in Burlingame, CA. We're an in‑person company. We build faster that way.
In this role, you'll
Own mechanical subsystem design from concept to prototype and iteration
Design parts and assemblies in CAD, supported by hand calculations and FEA when needed
Design for rapid prototyping methods including 3D printing and CNC machining
Make decisions on materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods
Integrate mechanical designs with motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators
Build prototypes yourself using 3D printers, shop tools, and CNC equipment
Work closely with manufacturing to turn designs into physical hardware quickly
We're looking for someone who
Has a strong portfolio showing complete systems taken from concept to physical prototype
Has experience on hands‑on engineering teams such as Formula SAE, aerospace clubs, or robotics teams
Has internship or early‑career experience on real hardware projects or at hardware startups
Is proficient with modern CAD tools (Onshape preferred, but not required)
Understands manufacturing methods, tolerancing, and assembly workflows
Is comfortable with hands‑on fabrication and rapid iteration
Nice to have
Experience with FEA, topology optimization, or generative design
Exposure to electronics, controls, or mechatronic systems
Interest in industrial or visual design alongside functional engineering
About Droyd
Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems to automate manual work for enterprises. We design the hardware, write the control stack, and deploy robots that operate in real environments.
If we do this right, robots stop being prototypes and start being infrastructure.
Join us and help build hardware that ships.

The Role
We're hiring for an early Product Engineer to help Tempo's partners move money on-chain. You'll work directly with design partners to diagnose, design, build, and deliver production-ready applications and integrations. You'll build world-class products that bring together the best in wallets, APIs, explorers, and payment systems, capable of turning any customer need into running code.
This is a deeply technical, high-ownership role for someone who thrives on autonomy, collaboration, and execution. The ideal candidate combines the mindset of a product-oriented engineer with the instincts of a customer-facing developer, working across Tempo's stack to unblock integrations, ship fixes quickly, and feed insights back into Product and Engineering. The role is ideal for customer- and product-centric engineers who aspire to be founders.

Customer engagements can range from month-long embedded product builds, to week-long feature deliveries, to short-term Q&A and support work
Qualifications
Experience as a fullstack software engineer or forward deployed engineer at a blockchain, fintech, or infrastructure company. Prior experience with customer-facing roles is not required, but may be beneficial.
Deep proficiency in TypeScript is a must to build performant, delightful product experiences. The ideal candidate can take customer requirements to architect and design a solution, ship into production, and debug across frontend, backend, SDK, and onchain layers.
Nice to have Wagmi, Viem, and Foundry experience and bonus for Solidity, Go, Rust, and infrastructure experience.
Strong communication and customer empathy; able to bridge technical depth with clear, actionable guidance for non-technical audiences.
Proven ability to operate independently and make product-level tradeoffs in high-context, fast-moving environments
Attributes
High-energy, proactive, and execution-driven
Engineer by trade with a deep curiosity for how systems work end-to-end
Sharp communicator who can represent Tempo's technology with clarity and conviction
Highly autonomous, comfortable prioritizing and shipping fixes directly in the field
Collaborative and adaptable; learns fast from partners and feeds insights back into the product loop
