Mechanical Design Engineer
Engineering Associate Job 18 miles from San Francisco
Instrumental technology is used by the world's most admired electronics brands like Bose, Cisco, and SolarEdge to significantly reduce the 20 cents of waste in every dollar spent on manufacturing. Our technology leverages AI from data coming off of the manufacturing floor to automate failure identification and resolution - improving yield, quality, and time to market.
About the Role:
We're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer who thrives on autonomy and ownership-someone eager to step into a role where they get to make real decisions and drive real impact. This is not a back-seat, wait-for-instructions type of role. You will be the person responsible for designing and optimizing our custom fixtures, optical systems, and station/industrial hardware for Fortune 100 customers. Your work will be directly responsible for expanding our capabilities and scaling our impact.
This is an opportunity for a sharp, systems-thinking mechanical engineer with 1.5-3 years of experience to accelerate their career by taking on a role typically reserved for more senior engineers. You recognize why some organizations have the bureaucracy they have but you move through those same checks at a much faster rate and want to own your work and build smarter systems, this is your chance.
Our team is scrappy, fast-moving, and entrepreneurial. We don't wait for things to happen-we make them happen. The person in this role will not just execute designs but improve how we design, introducing automation, systems, and scalable processes to help us work faster and smarter. We want someone who sees inefficiencies and doesn't just accept them but actively finds ways to fix them.
This is not a narrowly defined, assembly-line design job. It's a role for someone who wants to own a function, drive innovation, and create smarter ways to work. If you've worked at a startup or naturally gravitate toward leadership roles, you'll thrive here. You'll get the kind of autonomy and impact that's usually only available to more senior engineers-but with the support of a high-caliber team to help you grow.
We're Looking for Someone Who:
Thinks like an owner - you don't wait for permission to solve problems, you just go solve them.
Is deeply technical but also business-minded - you can debate trade-offs, push back on ideas that don't make sense, and align your work with company goals.
Has 1.5+ years of experience leveraging CAD professionally - with a strong emphasis on CNC machining. You should have solid intuition around designing for CNC, optimizing for manufacturability, and understanding machining constraints.
Loves efficiency - you're always looking for ways to automate, streamline, and optimize.
Is a natural problem solver - when faced with ambiguity, you create clarity.
Can handle direct feedback and debate ideas without ego - we value strong opinions loosely held.
Has experience working cross-functionally, ideally with customers, and enjoys translating technical challenges into solutions that make sense for the business.
What You'll Be Doing:
Own the design process - create fixtures and optical designs for a wide range of products, from wearables to industrial appliances, that integrate smoothly into customer lines and processes.
Design with CNC machining in mind - develop precise, manufacturable designs that leverage your knowledge of machining constraints, materials, and processes.
Scale and systematize our design workflows - develop smarter ways to execute designs, introduce automation, and make our design process more efficient.
Solve novel design challenges - push our technology into new applications with creative, scalable solutions.
Communicate and collaborate - meet with customers, partners, and contract manufacturers to understand their needs and integrate feedback into better designs.
Manage projects with autonomy - set accurate expectations, drive execution, and deliver high-quality designs on time.
Continuously improve - identify, propose, and implement better ways for our team to deliver our product.
Travel occasionally - visit customer sites to see designs in action, ensure smooth integration, and refine future iterations.
This position requires access to items and data that are developed under U.S. government contracts and subject to dissemination controls that limit access to U.S. citizens only.
We're a growing team that values inclusivity, passion, and a strong ability to learn. Even if your experience doesn't precisely match this job description, we encourage you to apply!
The following is a representative annual base salary range within the Bay Area: $137,000 - $152,000. Job level and salary opportunities are evaluated through our interview process-we review each applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
All candidates must have an unrestricted right to work in the U.S.
Research Engineer
Engineering Associate Job In San Francisco, CA
Our “Clone Brain” architecture allows you to create a digital representation of your mind-reflecting your knowledge, tone, ways of thinking, and even the
purpose
that drives your conversations. (For example, a leadership coach might direct their clone to mentor emerging managers, while a consultant might want their clone to focus on sales strategy and client onboarding.)
Up until now, many of our improvements have come from intuition, first principles, and a very basic testing suite. We want to increase the
fidelity
of each Clone Brain, ensuring it captures its owner's unique style, knowledge, and conversational aims, while also being able to reason in new situations. But to do that, we need rigorous measurements and interpretability tools that transform “it feels right” into “we have metrics & benchmarks that prove it.”
Enter the Research Engineer - Evals & Interpretability. You'll develop frameworks that quantify how well each digital clone mirrors the authenticity and expertise of its human counterpart, while also building the tooling to
open the black box
and figure out why the clone behaves the way it does. If you're curious about cognitive science, neural network interpretability, and the essence of what makes a human mind unique-this role has your name on it.
What You Will Work On
1. Frontier Eval Systems & Metrics
Design, implement, and manage robust evaluation frameworks that measure how faithfully a clone reflects its owner's tone, style, purpose, and reasoning.
Develop automated tests and analysis pipelines to compare new models and architectures, ensuring we're always improving the fidelity of our Clone Brain.
2. Interpretability & Debugging
Build interpretability tools that shine a light on the internal workings of our clone models, from attention heads to knowledge graph structures.
Investigate model behaviors and anomalies, surfacing insights that guide algorithmic improvements and mitigate unexpected outcomes.
3. Collaboration & Deployment
Work closely with our AI, product, and engineering teams to integrate your evaluation suites into production workflows.
Contribute to real-time feedback loops that help experts refine their clone's knowledge and style with confidence.
4. Infrastructure & Tooling
Develop the technical infrastructure for large-scale experimentation and analysis, ensuring that interpretability and eval frameworks can scale across thousands of clones.
Help define our data schemas, retrieval strategies, and model instrumentation in collaboration with data and infra engineers.
Preferred Abilities
Hands-On Research Experience: A track record of designing experiments and running them end-to-end-whether in AI, ML, or another scientific domain.
LLM Familiarity: Experience evaluating or fine-tuning large language models, with an emphasis on measuring alignment, style transfer, or interpretability.
Python Proficiency: Strong coding skills to build robust pipelines and experiment frameworks.
Evals & Benchmarking: Familiarity with common language model benchmarks and an eagerness to develop new ones.
Interpretability Fundamentals: Knowledge of mechanistic interpretability, feature attribution, or circuit-level analysis is a huge plus.
Infrastructure & Tools: Comfort with containers, scaling experiments on clusters, and building internal tools.
Experimental Mindset: Ability to pivot quickly when an approach doesn't pan out, and a relentless drive to find creative solutions to open-ended questions.
Why You Might Like This Role
Evals for AI is pushing the frontier of research. How to do evals correctly is still an open question. People who will thrive in this role are excited by this challenge, and the opportunity to be at the forefront of research.
High level of ownership and impact on product, technical architecture, and company culture
Opportunity to define the future of digital cloning, ultimately enabling digital immortality and 1-1 mentorship for the masses.
Challenging work that pushes you to your limits
Collaboration with a team passionate about scaling human potential and personalized learning
Chance to join a fast-growing startup creating a new market, approaching problems from first principles while valuing design and brand
Why You Might Not Like This Role
Not a 9-to-5
We move fast, iterate often, and tackle ambitious challenges-this isn't a clock-in/clock-out environment.
No Existing Blueprint
If you prefer well-trodden paths and established frameworks, be warned: we're creating something that's never existed before.
Applied AI Over Foundation Research
Our focus is on building and optimizing real products for end users, not on training new LLMs from scratch.
Fully On-Site
We believe in-person collaboration drives better ideas. If you're looking for remote, this might not be for you.
