About this role
The American Housing Corporation is on a mission to solve the America’s housing crisis through all-out production. We believe that America’s affordability crisis is fundamentally a production crisis, and that solving it requires a vertically integrated development approach: We buy land, and manufacture, install, and sell our homes directly to customers. This is the only way to build at the scale necessary to solve this crisis.
The American Dream is built, not inherited. We're hiring the best engineers, designers, and builders to solve the hardest problem in America.
As Director of Mechanical Engineering, you will play a key role in the design and manufacturing of our build system — a proprietary kit-of-parts for building high-quality multifamily housing.

- Full ownership of CAD model of components
- Obtain and maintain all necessary certifications and approvals for build system components
- Create engineering drawings and work instructions for build system component manufacturing and assembly
- Design and implement production equipment, processes, and tooling
- Track KPIs to understand how our engineering and manufacturing decisions impact the quality and $/sq ft of our buildings
QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of experience in hardware development
- Strong technical background in mechanical design, structural analysis, DFMA, and production
- Experience with CAD and FEA software packages
- Proven experience delivering large complex hardware products from low-rate prototypes to full-rate production
- Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
