Job description
My client is a high-growth tech scale-up transforming an essential industry, where ideas are valued, impact is real, and growth is limitless. This is an office-based role with a personal development budget, wellness perks, paid parental leave, unlimited annual leave, and stock options.
About the role
We're looking for a talented and disciplined Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our client's team in Auckland. Our client has just released their best product yet and is poised for aggressive production scaling to support a global market. Their hardware needs to last a very long time in an extremely harsh environment, making this one of the most unique and challenging applications in mechanical engineering.
Their mission is to make global agriculture more sustainable and more profitable, and their hardware is a core piece of that mission. You will be a driver, not a passenger, and will have ample opportunity for up-skilling, leadership, mentorship, and career development.
