Responsibilities
You will take system-level product decisions and make them real
You’ll design mechanical assemblies and components that integrate seamlessly with architecture, building systems, and smart-home technology. You’ll define how parts connect, how they’re manufactured, and how they’re installed—so the product scales without surprises
You’ll work closely with Systems Integration, Architecture, Industrial Design, Software, and Operations to resolve constraints early, before they reach the factory or the field. You’ll produce drawings and documentation that eliminate ambiguity and enable teams to build quickly and correctly
Over time, you’ll help refine the housing platform itself—learning from production and field feedback, improving designs, and raising the quality bar with every iteration
Your work will directly affect how quickly, affordably, and reliably homes can be delivered at scale
