Be at the forefront of designing and developing the intelligent systems and electromechanical structures that power the greatest kinetic installations.‍

In this role, you will

• Contribute to early-stage concept development, evaluating mechanical solutions for performance, risk, and manufacturability from the outset.
• Design mechanical and structural systems including linkages, transmission chains, and support frames. From first principles to robust, build-ready assemblies.
• Lead prototyping efforts, from CAD to hands-on 3D printing, machining, and functional testing, validating form, fit, and function.
• Perform dimensional studies, kinematic layouts, and early-stage stress calculations to guide design decisions.
• Select appropriate manufacturing processes (e.g., CNC machining, sheet metal forming, welding, injection molding, 3D printing), balancing performance, cost, and timelines.
• Coordinate directly with suppliers and fabricators to source components both off-the-shelf and custom and align on technical requirements.
• Produce high-quality shop drawings and documentation in line with LEVA’s standards to ensure clear, consistent fabrication and assembly.
• Specify jigs, fixtures, and custom tooling to enable precise and repeatable manufacturing and installation.
• Support system integration and on-site installation, ensuring mechanical intent is preserved and the assembly is delivered to spec.
• In this position you might be required to travel during on-site installations worldwide

Experience

• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, Inventor, Rhino)
• Solid experience with prototyping tools and methods (e.g., 3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, hands-on testing)
• Understanding of mechanical fundamentals: kinematics, tolerancing, material behavior, and structural principles
• Ability to carry a concept through the full product lifecycle - from idea to design to physical prototype and support on-site
• Familiarity with mechanical production techniques and DFM principles
• Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work across disciplines
• Adaptability to shifting requirements and iterative development
• Excellent technical communication, including drawings, documentation, and supplier interfacing

Qualifications

Education - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
