MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

Are you a practical and detail-oriented mechanical engineer who enjoys turning concepts into robust, manufacturable products? Do you like working close to production, suppliers, and real hardware — and seeing your designs used on the world's biggest stages? If you're a hands-on problem solver who wants real impact in a small, fast-moving team, you might be exactly who we're looking for.
