Mechanical Engineer (MCAD)

Veev•Hayward, CA

About The Position

Veev is leading the transformation of the construction industry with an innovative approach to modular home construction. Veev’s prefabricated closed-panel systems allow homes to be assembled efficiently on-site while delivering a more sustainable and higher-quality final product than traditional construction. As a new subsidiary of Lennar, Veev leverages the strength and scale of its parent company while maintaining the speed and disruptive approach of its roots as a Silicon Valley-based startup. Veev has developed a vertically integrated approach that involves multidisciplinary collaboration across real estate, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, and construction. This role plays a key part in advancing Veev’s mission by ensuring mechanical designs are accurate, manufacturable, and seamlessly integrated with adjacent systems. As a Mechanical CAD Engineer, your work will directly support Veev’s ability to scale operations and deliver innovative, high-quality housing solutions. As a Mechanical CAD Engineer, you will support production and new product introduction (NPI) efforts by developing and maintaining detailed mechanical CAD models, assemblies, and documentation. Your work will translate engineering intent into clear, manufacturable designs that support fabrication, installation, and ongoing product updates. You will collaborate closely with R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and field teams to resolve design challenges, improve buildability, and ensure alignment with company standards. This role also contributes to the evolution of Veev’s digital twin by enhancing the accuracy, consistency, and usability of CAD data across the product lifecycle. This role is best suited for engineers who take pride in seeing their designs built and are comfortable working close to fabrication and installation teams.
