Job description

Mechatronics Engineer (R&D)

Compensation: $90,000–$154,000 annually Equity: Included Location: El Segundo, CA Work Policy: Onsite Level: L1–L2 and L3 Hiring Count: 2 — one L1–L2 and one L3 Core KPIs: Equipment reliability, process observability, consistency, scalability, throughput, and successful validation and handoff of assigned development workstreams.

Who we are

Rangeview is on a mission to build the foundry system that reindustrializes America. We exist to break the legacy manufacturing trap by reinventing critical production for the twenty-first century. Through advanced software, deep automation, breakthroughs in materials science, and modern financing strategies, Rangeview rewrites both the cost curve and the power structure of making metal parts.

 Here is a video where you can check out our team, office and what we are doing here at Rangeview, Inc. 

As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will develop the equipment, software, controls, and workflows that enable Rangeview’s R&D group to develop novel manufacturing technologies.

Your scope is the full manufacturing chain: printing, thermal processing, handling and post-processing, together with the instrumentation and data infrastructure that makes equipment and process state observable.

This is a highly hands-on R&D role. You will be expected to move fluidly between software, mechanical systems, electrical systems, optics, equipment integration, and experimental process development. You will work closely with materials scientists, process engineers, R&D specialists, and technical leadership to rapidly prototype, test, modify, and mature new manufacturing capabilities.

What’s in it for you

You will help Rangeview’s R&D group develop novel manufacturing technologies across the full manufacturing chain: printing, thermal processing, handling, and post-processing. This is a highly hands-on role where you will work across software, mechanical systems, electrical systems, optics, equipment integration, and experimental process development.

What you’ll do

As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will develop the equipment, software, controls, and workflows that enable Rangeview’s R&D group to develop novel manufacturing technologies.

Your scope includes the instrumentation and data infrastructure that makes equipment and process state observable. You will work closely with materials scientists, process engineers, R&D specialists, and technical leadership to rapidly prototype, test, modify, and mature new manufacturing capabilities.

•Modify equipment hardware, software, motion systems, and controls to support experimental materials, new process capabilities, improved reliability, and higher throughput within scalability and production sustainment constraints.

•Develop and automate manufacturing, handling, post processing equipment, and monitoring equipment, translating material and process requirements into practical engineering systems.

•Design, select, integrate, commission, and improve commercial and custom equipment to increase process observability, consistency, reliability, scalability, and operator effectiveness.

•Develop and integrate the measurement systems the factory runs on, to support data acquisition and analysis.

•Troubleshoot equipment and software issues, identify root causes, and implement verified corrective actions.

•Work closely with process engineers and technical specialists to understand equipment-process interactions and translate findings into improved methods.

•Support rapid expansion of Rangeview’s equipment base, printers, furnaces, and post-processing systems, including coordination and planning with Facilities and equipment manufacturers on infrastructure needed to support reliable equipment operation.

•Serve as the responsible engineer for assigned equipment and development workstreams, driving work from concept through implementation, validation, and handoff.

What you’ll need

•Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, controls engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

•3+ years of experience developing, integrating, or modifying complex electromechanical systems.

•Demonstrated ability to work across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software interfaces.

•Experience with hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, equipment integration, or experimental development.

•Experience using CAD to design mechanical components, assemblies, fixtures, or equipment modifications.

•Experience programming or scripting for engineering applications, automation, data acquisition, or computational workflows.

•Strong ability to diagnose ambiguous technical problems, develop hypotheses, run structured tests, and implement practical solutions.

•Working knowledge of experimental design and applied statistics, sufficient to size a test, quantify uncertainty in a measured result, and draw well supported conclusions.

•Strong written and verbal communication skills and demonstrated ability to work effectively across multiple technical disciplines.

Preferred qualifications

•Experience with additive manufacturing systems, particularly SLA, MSLA, or other photopolymer-based printing technologies.

•Experience developing or modifying motion control systems, machine controls, PLCs, embedded systems, or industrial automation.

•Experience with computational geometry, slicing algorithms, toolpath generation, or platforms such as nTop.

•Experience with Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar engineering and automation tools.

•Experience designing and commissioning custom manufacturing or laboratory equipment.

•Familiarity with machine vision, sensors, instrumentation, data acquisition, and closed-loop control.

•Experience with ceramics, photopolymer resins, materials processing, investment casting, or other advanced manufacturing technologies.

•Demonstrated ability to independently own technically ambiguous projects and move quickly from concept through working hardware.

Additional requirements

•Must be able to work onsite in El Segundo, CA.

•Must be able to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed.

Compensation

Please note that the salary information shown below is a general guideline. Salaries are based on demonstrated candidate experience and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations.

•L1–L2 and L3: $90,000–$154,000 annually, depending on level and qualifications, plus equity.
