We are a pioneering startup poised to revolutionize the supply chain by introducing groundbreaking serialization for products that have remained unchanged for decades. Our innovative approach involves developing the first-ever chip-less inventory tag, enabling the serialization of every product to streamline inventory management. Currently, we are seeking a hungry self starter with expertise in Mechanical Engineering to collaborate on helping us get to scale via manufacturing and automation. This role offers hands-on experience, direct involvement with our innovative engineering team, and an opportunity to contribute to the design process.
Despite our primary challenge of scalability, we have secured contracts with reputable companies such as GE and Brown-Forman, along with substantial funding and support from investors like Mark Cuban. Now, we require the assistance of a mechanical engineer to guide our custom fixtures from a prototype to a scalable first product, positioning us to supersede the barcode and redefine supply chains indefinitely.
The position can be either full-time or part-time initially, depending on the candidate's availability. Compensation includes equity, a highly competitive salary, and comprehensive benefits. Candidates will be paired with an expert in the field to mentor them and gain experience much faster than typical. The position is located in Louisville, Kentucky.
Responsibilities:
Spearhead the development of test fixtures, automation of manufacturing, and optimization of existing processes.
Support manufacturing processes, sourcing of materials, and helping get to pre-scale and eventually scale.
Work on various systems to help build the first scaled chip-less RFID tag.
Collaborate directly with Fortune 500 clients on products developed within this role.
Provide guidance for product development strategies.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
1-5 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering or similar.
Proficiency in CAD, creation of test setups, and manufacturing is needed.
Additional experience with building large complex systems is preferred.
The more prototyping (drill press, CNC, saws, etc) experience the better.
