Responsibilities

You'll be playing the key role in rolling out the mass production of Elastium production cells, operating at unprecedented scale for the AM industry. Specifically, you will:

• Execute the mechanical design of the most advanced FGF/FDM 3D printers on Earth, from initial concept through testing and deployment.
• Eliminate expensive, complex assemblies with radically simple designs that minimize part count, are trivial to build, and scale fast.
• Develop novel tooling solutions for fabrication and assembly of structural parts.
• Develop process flows, breaking down large assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes.
• Create excellent technical documentation – test plans and reports, assembly instructions, inspection requirements, part and assembly drawings, vendor specifications, BOMs, etc.

Why this job matters

At Elastium, you won’t be another engineer optimizing inside an existing box—you’ll build in the wild, architecting a new industrial era where factories run like software, starting with footwear. Footwear is an enormous challenge because it’s a massive, messy, labor-heavy industry that left the U.S. for a reason. Reinventing how footwear is made at scale requires the deployment of autonomous plants with thousands of robots that can be reconfigured in real time with no human in the loop. If you want to solve problems that fundamentally reshape the physical world, this is the mission.
