Mechanical Engineer (Contract)

About the role

Our core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession.

Responsibilities

• Walk us through your day-to-day and project-to-project workflows in detail
• Talk through real (appropriately anonymized) projects so we understand the design intent behind work
• Pressure-test product ideas and early prototypes: tell us, candidly, where they'd save real time, where they'd add risk, and where they fall apart against real practice
• Help us map where mechanical hands off to electrical, plumbing, structural, and architectural - and where coordination and clash detection actually break down
• Distill where the work is irreducible engineering judgment versus repetitive process that's ripe for automation
• What we look for
• A licensed PE in mechanical engineering (or equivalent senior experience) who has led HVAC and mechanical systems design on real building projects
• Fluent in tools like Revit MEP, AutoCAD, and load/energy modeling software (e.g., Trane Trace, Carrier HAP)
• Deep curiosity for how things work - and the ability to explain why the work is done the way it is
• Opinionated about your discipline's workflows - including what's broken about them
