TL;DR · Mechatronics Engineer

The Mechatronics Engineer joins the Spectacles team to own the calibration lab hardware, serving as a vital bridge between local software engineers and remote mechanical and electrical teams. This role involves designing and building fixtures, jigs, and mechanisms using CAD, 3D printing, and machine shop techniques. Daily responsibilities include building prototype circuits, integrating sensors and lighting, and characterizing station repeatability to solve hardware drift. The engineer will also read and modify Python scripts to drive lab hardware and manage vendor deliverables. Key technical requirements include proficiency in manufacturing drawings, GD&T, and using multimeters and oscilloscopes for debugging power and signal chains. This position supports the development of augmented reality glasses by maintaining the hardware infrastructure necessary for calibrating computer-vision pipelines and opto-mechanical systems.

What you'll do

  • Own and maintain the calibration lab hardware including fixtures, targets, lighting, and camera rigs.
  • Design and build fixtures, jigs, and simple mechanisms using CAD, 3D printing, and machine shop tools.
  • Build prototype circuits and wiring to integrate sensors, lighting, and triggers.
  • Integrate off-the-shelf components into stable and repeatable calibration stations.
  • Characterize station repeatability and perform root-cause analysis to fix hardware drift.
  • Read and modify Python scripts that drive the lab hardware.
  • Define requirements for and review deliverables from remote mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
  • Document setups and procedures while managing vendors, parts, and general lab upkeep.

What we're looking for

  • BS/BA in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 3+ years of industry experience building and maintaining lab or test hardware.
  • Ability to produce CAD models and manufacturing drawings independently.
  • Experience designing, tolerancing, and building fixtures, jigs, or mechanisms, including 3D-printed parts.
  • Ability to build prototype circuits and wiring while troubleshooting power and signal issues with standard lab equipment.
  • Ability to read and modify Python scripts.
  • MS in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (preferred).
  • Knowledge of computer vision, optics, opto-mechanical systems, or AR/VR hardware (preferred).
