What You'll Do Own the end-to-end mechanical design of complex electro-mechanical systems with moving parts 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 Close collaboration with electrical and controls teams Bias for execution and ownership over documentation and theory

    Operations engineer job in Santa Rosa, CA

    About You: You have several years of experience with full-stack web development. Our application is built with Next.js/TypeScript/Tailwind on the frontend, Python/FastAPI/Postgres/Redis on the backend. You understand how to build resilient applications with LLMs: managing tool calls, prompts, cost/latency tradeoffs, etc. You can talk directly with customers, analyze usage data, and iterate based on feedback. You can make sound product decisions on your own. You have clear likes and dislikes about AI coding tools you have tried, and know what should be better. We dogfood a lot! 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.

    Brahma Consulting Group

    Operations engineer job in Santa Rosa, CA

    A Product Engineer in this role will focus on building and scaling a high-quality AI agent product with strong UX, full‑stack development, and close user collaboration, and should bring 2+ years of startup experience, strong TypeScript skills, and a deep interest in the AI agent space while helping build “high-taste” products for self-learning AI agents and playing a key role in scaling the product to meet growing customer demand while maintaining an exceptional user experience in a rapidly evolving AI agent ecosystem. Responsibilities Collaborate closely with a product designer to ship new features and refine existing user flows based on customer feedback. Engage directly with customers to understand needs, gather feedback, validate ideas, and pitch new features. Develop core product features across the stack (front-end, back-end, and database work) with a focus on quality and reliability. Experiment with new features and technologies, build quick demos for the team, and productionize promising solutions. Contribute to product and design reviews, ensuring the experience is intuitive, polished, and delightful to use. Requirements 2+ years of experience in product, full‑stack, or front‑end engineering at technology startups (Seed to Series E). Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience either across the stack or in front‑end‑leaning roles. Experience at a high‑taste product company or at an AI/agent‑native startup. Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. What we're looking for Strong product sense and attention to user experience; you care about how things feel, not just how they work. High agency and ownership mindset-you proactively find problems, propose solutions, and ship iteratively. Genuine excitement about the AI agent space and improving agent behavior for real users. Comfort working in a fast-moving, experimental environment with tight feedback loops from users and teammates.
