Junior Mechanical Engineer

Triumph; Fremont (CA); Sur place; USD 60 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Triumph is seeking an engineer early in their career to design, build, test, and iterate hardware in our Mountain View/Fremont warehouse. You will work directly in the shop as well as at a desk, moving concepts through fabrication and verification.

You should be comfortable writing Python or C to read sensors, drive motors, and analyze test data, and you’ll gain experience across mechanical design, electronics, and software integration in a hands-on environment.

Qualifications

• 0 to 2 years of experience with a degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or adjacent field.
• Solid mechanical fundamentals: statics, materials, tolerancing, and CAD proficiency.
• Comfort with code; ability to write Python or C to read sensors or process test data.
• Shop skills with a mill, lathe, 3D printing, soldering, and assembly.
• Genuine eagerness to learn and ask questions.

Responsabilités

• Design mechanical components and assemblies in CAD, from concept through fabrication and test.
• Build, wire, and bring up prototypes; machining, 3D printing, soldering, and assembly are in scope.
• Run tests, collect data, and iterate based on results.
• Write scripts and simple control code to support testing.
• Collaborate with other engineers on integration and documentation.

Description du poste

The Role

We're looking for an engineer early in their career who wants to build things, break them, and figure out why they broke. This is a hands on role from day one. You'll be in the shop as much as at a desk, and the work spans mechanical design, fabrication, testing, and the software and electronics that make hardware actually do something.

You do not need to have done this professionally yet. What matters is that you've built real things, whether that was a competition car, a robot, or something you made at a makerspace because you wanted to see if it would work. Please note that this role is located at our warehouse in Mountain View that will soon be relocating to Fremont.

What You'll Do

• Design mechanical components and assemblies in CAD, and take them from concept through fabrication and test.

• Build, wire, and bring up prototypes yourself. Machining, 3D printing, soldering, and assembly are part of the job, not someone else's job.

• Run tests, collect data, and figure out what the results mean. Then iterate.

• Write scripts and simple control code to support testing and to get hardware moving.

• Work alongside other engineers and teams on integration.

• Document what you build so the next person can pick it up.

• Work out of our warehouse in Fremont, CA on testing, bring up, maintenance, and repair of hardware in service.

What We're Looking For

• 0 to 2 years of experience, with a degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or something adjacent. New graduates are welcome.

• Solid mechanical fundamentals: statics, materials, tolerancing, and a working command of CAD.

• Comfort with code. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be able to write Python or C to read a sensor, drive a motor, or process test data.

• Shop skills and the instinct to build rather than only model. You've used a mill, a lathe, a printer, or a soldering iron and you aren't precious about getting your hands dirty.

• Genuine eagerness to learn. You ask questions, you chase down answers, and you'd rather be told what you got wrong than left alone with it.
