Rangeview is building advanced manufacturing systems to reindustrialize America through software, automation, materials science, and modern financing. The company is developing novel metal-part production technologies that break legacy manufacturing constraints.
As a Mechatronics Engineer in R&D, you will develop equipment, software, controls, and workflows that enable the R&D group to prototype and mature new manufacturing technologies. Your scope spans the full manufacturing chain: printing, thermal processing, handling, post-processing, plus instrumentation and data infrastructure for process observability.
This is a highly hands-on role requiring fluidity across software, mechanical systems, electrical systems, optics, equipment integration, and experimental process development. You will work closely with materials scientists, process engineers, R&D specialists, and technical leadership to rapidly prototype, test, modify, and mature capabilities.
Key responsibilities:
- Modify equipment hardware, software, motion systems, and controls to support experimental materials, new process capabilities, improved reliability, and higher throughput.
- Develop and automate manufacturing, handling, post-processing, and monitoring equipment, translating material and process requirements into practical systems.
- Design, select, integrate, commission, and improve commercial and custom equipment to increase process observability, consistency, reliability, scalability, and operator effectiveness.
- Develop and integrate measurement systems for data acquisition and analysis.
- Troubleshoot equipment and software issues, identify root causes, and implement verified corrective actions.
- Work closely with process engineers to understand equipment-process interactions and translate findings into improved methods.
- Support rapid expansion of Rangeview's equipment base, including coordination with Facilities and equipment manufacturers.
- Serve as the responsible engineer for assigned equipment and development workstreams, driving work from concept through implementation, validation, and handoff.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, controls engineering, or related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3+ years of experience developing, integrating, or modifying complex electromechanical systems.
- Demonstrated ability to work across mechanical, electrical, controls, and software interfaces.
- Experience with hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, equipment integration, or experimental development.
- Experience using CAD to design mechanical components, assemblies, fixtures, or equipment modifications.
- Experience programming or scripting for engineering applications, automation, data acquisition, or computational workflows.
- Strong ability to diagnose ambiguous technical problems, develop hypotheses, run structured tests, and implement practical solutions.
- Working knowledge of experimental design and applied statistics, sufficient to size a test, quantify uncertainty in measured results, and draw well-supported conclusions.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and demonstrated ability to work effectively across multiple technical disciplines.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience with additive manufacturing systems, particularly SLA, MSLA, or photopolymer-based printing technologies.
- Experience developing or modifying motion control systems, machine controls, PLCs, embedded systems, or industrial automation.
- Experience with computational geometry, slicing algorithms, toolpath generation, or platforms such as nTop.
- Experience with Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar engineering and automation tools.
- Experience designing and commissioning custom manufacturing or laboratory equipment.
- Familiarity with machine vision, sensors, instrumentation, data acquisition, and closed-loop control.
- Experience with ceramics, photopolymer resins, materials processing, investment casting, or other advanced manufacturing technologies.
- Demonstrated ability to independently own technically ambiguous projects and move quickly from concept through working hardware.
Additional requirements:
- Must be able to work onsite in El Segundo, CA.
- Must be able to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed.
- Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, Refugee, or Asylee, or be eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State (ITAR compliance).
