Manufacturing Engineer
Location: London · Dallas · Paris · Hamburg
Type: Full-time
Salary: Competitive, benchmarked to role and location
Equity: Included, benchmarked to role and seniority
The Role
This is a hands-on, cross-factory role. You'll spend real time on the production floor — across our own factories and our franchisees' — optimising and iterating live processes, then codifying what works into the Isembard manual so every site in the network benefits. You'll work closely with the software team, surfacing what MasonOS needs to build next from what you see on the floor, and you'll get exposure across the wider production stack as we scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Go into factories — ours and our franchisees' — to optimise and iterate live processes, feeding improvements into the Isembard manual
- Advise the software team on what to build next, translating shop floor needs into MasonOS requirements
- Support wider production tasks: design advice on parts, quoting, order management, supply chain and factory setup
- Train new team members and franchisees as the network scales
- Be able and willing to focus exclusively on one area of the above (or anything not in the above) as the business scales
Required Skills
- Studying (or recently graduated in) engineering, physics, materials science, computer science, or a related field
- Strong problem-solving skills and adaptability
- High initiative, an ownership mindset, and entrepreneurial spirit
- Keen interest in manufacturing and hands-on engineering
- Basic understanding of coding or data science
Prior Experience
- Experience in a university engineering team, society, or personal project (e.g. Formula Student, a robotics society, a founder project)
- Part-time work experience in a non-engineering role
Personal Attributes
You want high impact. You aren't looking for a corporate cog-in-the-wheel role. You want to see your work in action, improving our processes and driving efficiency.
You are pragmatic. You care more about the solution working in the real world than theoretical perfection.
You are adaptable. We are a startup. Priorities change, and you'll wear many hats. You view this as an exciting challenge, not a frustration.
What We Offer
- Accelerated Learning: You will learn more here in 6 months than in 5 years at a big tech firm. You will touch every part of engineering and manufacturing.
- Mentorship: Direct 1:1 guidance navigating the world of manufacturing and startups.
- Real-World Impact: Direct impact on throughput, with the opportunity to help scale operations internationally.
- Ownership: Equity in the business, so you share in the success you help build.
- Autonomy: A high-autonomy role in a fast-paced production environment.
