Founding Mechanical Integration Engineer - Forward Deployed

Significant travel to customer sites About Greenlight Robotics Greenlight Robotics is building public transit technology that makes communities more efficient, accessible, and vibrant, and we’re building a team of people who care deeply about how cities are run. We’re hiring our first core team of engineers to deliver the initial production version of our system to early transit customers.

You will be hands-on building cutting-edge technology that will strengthen the public systems moving billions of people every day.

About The Role

We are looking for a Mechanical Integration Engineer to step into a forward-deployed engineering role. Reporting directly to our Co-founder & CTO, you will design the mounts, interfaces, and connections required to integrate our product onto customer vehicles, while leading on-site deployment, customer success, and hardware/software debugging.

This role serves as the crucial bridge between our customer fleets in the field and our development platform at HQ.

What We Are Looking For

You have 4+ years experience of demonstrated mechanical engineering problem solving ability. You have designed and shipped production parts of a real-world robotics/embedded system product, and have enough broad experience to be comfortable understanding problems across all aspects (mechanical, electrical, software, firmware) of a robot.

Adaptable Problem Solver: Ability to quickly learn and fill in knowledge gaps when presented with problems in unfamiliar technical domains Hands-On Mindset: Willingness to "get hands dirty" and "turn wrenches" on-site during extensive field engineering work with early transit partners. Bonus Points Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or similar.

6 or more years of experience integrating multi-modal embedded sensor stacks (autonomous vehicles, EVs, drones, humanoid robots, etc.) Previous experience in customer-facing technical or forward-deployed engineering roles.

What You Will Do

Mechanical & electrical interface design and deployment for our product onsite at our first customer and back at HQ on our prototype platform. Lead On-Site Customer Deployments: Deliver initial product installations on customer vehicles and drive continuous improvements across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering domains.

On-Site Debugging & Root Cause Analysis: Perform hands-on issue discovery, root cause analysis, and rapid solution deployment directly on live embedded hardware/software products in the field Establish Deployment Best Practices: Build rollout standards and continuous integration workflows to increase product reliability and drive down hands-on engineering time for future deployments.

What We Offer

Generous "flex days" for working from home alongside unlimited PTO. Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, disability, and commuter. Competitive salary and ground-floor equity package.
