Job summary

Annora AI in San Francisco is seeking a mechanical engineer to own the 2D and 3D product definitions used for quoting, so customers can clearly visualize the machine before it ships.

You will turn messy customer models into reusable CPQ-ready geometry, produce clear drawings, and collaborate with estimators and engineering to ensure assemblies are buildable. Willingness to travel to customer plants is required.

• 3+ years of professional mechanical engineering.
• Fluent in 2D drawings and 3D models.
• Own real product geometry end-to-end.
• Able to communicate with operators and executives in plain language.
• Authorized to work in the U.S.

Responsibilities

• Own the CAD and drawing work behind product configuration and quoting.
• Take messy customer models, drawings, and options and make them usable.

Job description

About The Company

Annora AI is a venture-backed company expanding the capacity and profitability of America's industrial base. We turn manufacturers into software-defined factories by building an AI-native OS powered by manufacturing-specific knowledge and agents.

We work with manufacturers on product, quoting, and the operational systems that sit on top of their ERP. Our customers build configurable industrial equipment sold into factories, fabs, and construction operations. We need a mechanical engineer to own the 2D and 3D product definition that quoting depends on — so a customer can see the machine before it ships.

What you'll do

• Own the CAD and drawing work behind product configuration and quoting
• Take messy customer models, drawings, and options and make them usable
• Make complex configurable equipment clear in 2D and 3D, not just on a spec sheet
• Turn one-off files into reusable product structure the CPQ can quote and show
• Work with estimators, applications, and engineering on how the machine actually goes together
• Work directly with the team and ship

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of professional mechanical engineering
• You are fluent in 2D drawings and 3D models, not just screenshots
• You've owned real product geometry, not just class projects or marketing renders
• You can own the mechanical side of a configurable product end-to-end
• You're strong at making complex equipment feel simple in a model and on a drawing
• You can communicate with operators and executives in plain language
• Comfortable traveling to customer plants as needed
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S.
• Ownership and shipped work matter more than title

What this is

High ownership. Early equity. A chance to define how the product is seen before it is built.
