Work In Tech

Meet the team:

Join the Platform Design & Build team, where engineering meets execution. This team is responsible for the low-volume prototype builds and physical integration of key systems and hardware into Torc’s autonomous vehicle platform. With a mix of skilled engineers and hands-on technicians, the team turns design concepts into physical reality and helps validate, test, and troubleshoot integration challenges across the vehicle.

We are currently seeking an Mechanical Engineer who thrives in a cross-functional environment and is passionate about both product development through requirements creation and hands on prototype builds and test. In this role, you’ll work in a team of mechanical and electrical engineers and with build technicians responsible for physical implementation and rapid prototyping.

What you’ll do:

Have a passion for designing and building real hardware in the world of autonomy. In this role, you'll work on the mechanical systems that enable advanced autonomous vehicle performance — from structural sensor mounts and cooling systems to enclosures, mechanisms, and test fixtures.

This is a hybrid role that combines hands-on engineering with systems-level responsibilities. You'll take concepts from early-stage prototyping through full vehicle integration, while also writing requirements, ensuring compliance, and collaborating across disciplines.

What you’ll need to succeed:

• Design mechanical components for sensor integration, compute enclosures, thermal management, and structural assemblies.
• Develop detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks or equivalent tools.
• Work closely with build technicians to prototype, iterate, and validate designs on physical vehicles.
• Write and manage component- and system-level mechanical requirements in collaboration with systems engineers.
• Support root cause analysis and hardware debugging during vehicle testing and validation.
• Contribute to DFM/DFA, GD&T, material selection, and mechanical risk assessments (e.g., DFMEA).
• Collaborate with electrical, systems, and software teams to ensure seamless mechanical-electrical integration.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• 3+ years of industry experience in mechanical design, preferably in automotive, robotics, or aerospace.
• Proficiency in CAD (preferably SolidWorks) and experience with version-controlled design.
• Strong hands-on experience building and testing hardware — you work well both at the desk and in the shop
• Working knowledge of requirements development and systems engineering practices.
• Familiarity with mechanical testing, vibration analysis, and thermal design is a plus.
