Prototype Engineer, Electromechanical Integration

Panthalassa • Portland, OR

12d • $100,000 - $175,000 • Onsite

About The Position

You’ll be part of the engineering team responsible for designing, integrating, and building electromechanical systems that sit at the heart of our technology. Your work spans CAD design, assembly, testing, and documentation—bridging the gap between mechanical and electrical engineering. Success in this role means creating robust, manufacturable designs and contributing to systems that perform reliably in demanding environments. You’ll collaborate closely with other engineers and designers across disciplines, providing input on manufacturability, testing, and process improvements. You’ll also get hands-on—assembling, wiring, and machining parts to bring ideas into functional prototypes and final hardware. Within your first year, you’ll be a trusted contributor to critical builds and a go-to resource for practical design and integration expertise.
