Mechanical Engineer

At Avalon Holographics , we’re replicating reality! We move fast, think big, and push boundaries to build something groundbreaking!

We’re building the world’s most advanced holographic display, transforming how industries like medical, defense, and entertainment see and experience visual content. No headsets, no glasses just incredibly lifelike, three-dimensional visuals.

Doing something that’s never been done before takes an exceptional team! As a fast-growing startup, we know that our people are our greatest asset, which is why we invest in you with a competitive salary with full pay transparency, employee stock options (granted by the company), and 100% employer-paid health and dental benefits. Every team member plays a key role in our success, and we ensure you’re supported, rewarded, and empowered to thrive.

We’re seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our team! In this role, you’ll design and develop high-precision mechanical systems for our holographic displays, collaborating closely with optics and electronics teams to bring complex ideas to life. From concept and prototyping to production-ready systems, you’ll have end-to-end ownership of your designs.

In our workplace, priorities shift quickly, challenges need fast solutions, and attention to detail is everything. If you love designing complex systems, solving tough engineering problems, and want to help create something that’s never existed before, we want to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for holographic display systems from prototype through production.
• Collaborate with optics and electronics engineers to create precise, integrated opto-mechanical structures.
• Develop solutions for thermal and structural challenges related to PCB and component integration.
• Create detailed CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks, including appropriate GD&T specifications.
• Perform simulation and analysis (thermal, vibration, FEA) using tools such as ANSYS to validate designs.
• Select materials and manufacturing methods appropriate for high-precision, low-volume fabrication (CNC, sheet metal, rapid prototyping, etc.).
• Support the building, testing, and refinement of prototypes and production systems.
• Interface with external vendors and suppliers to ensure parts are manufactured to spec and on schedule.
• Maintain design documentation, BOMs, and revisions in SolidWorks PDM.
  
  

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and 2+ years relevant experience
• Strong experience designing precision mechanical systems, preferably with optical or electromechanical integration.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, including PDM and detailed drawing creation with GD&T.
• Experience designing for manufacturability across various processes including CNC machining, 3D printing, and sheet metal.
• Familiarity with FEA or thermal simulation software (ANSYS or similar).
• A proactive, self-motivated approach to problem-solving with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on cross-disciplinary teamwork.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
