Verustruct

Overview

Verustruct is developing robotic construction technologies to automate the building of affordable and sustainable housing, aiming to close the U.S. housing gap. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will own mechanical design for machines at the core of the robotic construction platform, collaborating across disciplines to bring innovative construction systems from concept to deployment.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical subsystems for wall-supported robotic construction equipment.
• Drive component selection, tolerance analysis, structural analysis, DFM, and fabrication strategy.
• Lead build, bring-up, testing, and iteration of next-generation prototype systems.
• Work cross-functionally with controls, electrical, materials, and structural engineering.
• Develop design standards, documentation practices, and engineering workflows.
• Mentor junior engineers and interns while setting the technical bar for hardware development.

Requirements

• 7+ years of mechanical design experience in robotics, heavy machinery, industrial automation, or similar fields.
• Strong CAD fluency, ideally in Siemens NX or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, test planning, failure analysis, and rapid iteration.
• Strong understanding of mechanisms, structures, actuators, bearings, tolerances, materials, and manufacturability.
• Experience with FEA, topology optimization, welded structures, sheet metal, machined parts, or large-format assemblies is a strong plus.
• Track record of shipping or deploying complex electromechanical systems in real-world environments.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment.

Benefits

• Health Insurance
• 401k
• PTO

Additional Information

• Relocation support available for exceptional candidates relocating to the Los Angeles / Torrance area.
