Senior Mechanical Engineer
PulseForge, Inc. · Austin, TX · On-site
PulseForge builds pulsed-light manufacturing systems for electronics, semiconductor, energy, and advanced-materials production. Our systems create process windows that conventional thermal tools cannot reach, enabling customers to manufacture in ways that were previously not possible. We’re at the forefront of advanced manufacturing.
Our next step is scaling the platform: larger process areas, higher throughput, tighter uniformity, continuous operation, and production-grade reliability. Mechanical engineering sits at the center of that work.
We are hiring a senior mechanical engineer to help design the next generation of the platform and to establish how mechanical systems are developed, released, and maintained as we scale.
This role carries broad technical ownership: the architecture, the design decisions, and the release calls, with visibility into the business context that shapes them. You will work with a small team, move quickly from concept to hardware, and see your designs operating in customer production environments.
The Work
You will design across the mechanical architecture of the platform: machined structures, high-voltage packaging, production racks, lamp heads, and quartz optics. You will also own precision mechanisms, cooling and fluid systems, web and conveyor handling, and the hardware that integrates our systems into customer production lines.
You will work from physics and architecture through drawings, suppliers, assembly, test, field performance, and the next revision. This is not a design-only role.
What You Own
• Mechanical subsystems from architecture through production release and sustaining.
• The approach, the materials, the suppliers, and the release decision.
• When to calculate, when to prototype, when to test, and when to simulate.
• The mechanical practices we adopt: drawing standards, review depth, and configuration control.
• Close, deep collaboration with electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and supply chain.
