Why Tractable?

We combine world-class AI research with real-world applications that make a difference. At Tractable, you'll collaborate with brilliant minds, work on transformative projects, and contribute to technology that helps people when they need it most.

Tractable's AI products already transform how the automotive and insurance industries assess vehicle damage. We're now taking the leap from pure software into our first hardware platform - a drivethrough imaging rig that automatically captures highfidelity photos and sensor data for instant AI analysis. You'll be part of the founding hardware team turning an early functional prototype into a robust, scalable product that will be deployed at dealerships, collision centres and logistics hubs worldwide.

What You'll Do
  • Own the mechanical architecture of the drivethrough scanner from concept through production - including CAD models, drawings and BOMs.
  • Iterate on the existing prototype: improve rigidity, alignment, serviceability and aesthetics while reducing cost and assembly time.
  • Design sheetmetal, welded, machined and additive parts; run tolerance, FEA and thermal analyses where appropriate.
  • Integrate cameras, lighting, sensors, compute and wiring into clean, fieldserviceable assemblies (IPrated enclosures, cable management, heat dissipation, etc.).
  • Develop test fixtures, jigs and procedures for alignment and calibration on the factory floor and in the field.
  • Collaborate closely with electrical / firmware / software teams; write simple Python/C scripts when needed for hardware tests, sensor bringup or kiosk control.
  • Source components, evaluate vendors, and work with contract manufacturers to transition from prototypes to lowvolume pilot builds, then to scalable production.
  • Document designs, ECOs and assembly instructions in our PLM tool; manage part lifecycles and change control.
  • Occasionally travel (~20 %) to pilot customer installs, supplier sites and industry events
What You Bring
Musthaves
  • B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 3+ years designing electromechanical products in a startup or similar fastpaced environment.
  • Fluency with modern CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, etc.), drawing standards and GD&T.
  • Handson fabrication experience: 3D printing, CNC / manual machining, sheetmetal, welding or similar.
  • Basic electronics knowledge (PCB layouts, wiring, power budgets) and comfort probing/debugging with a DMM or scope.
  • Proven track record of taking prototypes to production, including DFM / DFA and supplier engagement.
  • Strong communication, documentation and projecttracking habits.
Nicetohaves
  • Experience with vision systems, cameras, optics or lighting.
  • Knowledge of automotive service environments (IP ratings, vibration, chemical exposure).
  • Familiarity with compliance & certification (UL, CE, FCC, automotive standards).
  • Thermal management of electronicsinenclosures.
  • Finiteelement analysis (FEA) for structural design or crash protection.
  • Starttofinish ownership of a product that shipped in >100unit volumes.
  • Python or C skills sufficient for hardware test automation or quick firmware tweaks.
Why You'll Love It Here
  • Impact & Ownership - you'll be the first dedicated mechanical engineer on a greenfield hardware program.
  • Equity upside in a highgrowth, AIfirst company.
  • A makerfriendly lab with welding gear, CNC, printers, sensors and cameras at your disposal.
  • Flexible working hours and hybrid work options (onsite presence in Salt Lake City, UT required).
  • Competitive salary, healthcare, generous PTO, and professional development budget.


Our Culture

We move fast, prototype even faster, and value bias to action. You'll work alongside software, AI and product teammates who share a passion for shipping ambitious ideas, learning from realworld data, and iterating relentlessly. If you thrive in an environment where "done is better than perfect" today - and perfection is tomorrow's sprint - you'll fit right in.
Diversity commitment

At Tractable, we are committed to building a diverse team and inclusive workplace where people's varied backgrounds and experiences are valued and recognised.

We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and offer equal opportunities without discrimination.
