Who we are

Rangeview is on a mission to build the foundry system that reindustrializes America. We exist to break the legacy manufacturing trap by reinventing critical production for the twenty-first century. Through advanced software, deep automation, breakthroughs in materials science, and modern financing strategies, Rangeview rewrites both the cost curve and the power structure of making metal parts.

Here is a video where you can check out our team, office and what we are doing here at Rangeview, Inc.

As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will develop the equipment, software, controls, and workflows that enable Rangeview’s R&D group to develop novel manufacturing technologies.

Your scope is the full manufacturing chain: printing, thermal processing, handling and post-processing, together with the instrumentation and data infrastructure that makes equipment and process state observable.

This is a highly hands-on R&D role. You will be expected to move fluidly between 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 new manufacturing capabilities.

What’s in it for you

You will help Rangeview’s R&D group develop novel manufacturing technologies across the full manufacturing chain: printing, thermal processing, handling, and post-processing. This is a highly hands-on role where you will work across software, mechanical systems, electrical systems, optics, equipment integration, and experimental process development.

What you’ll do

As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will develop the equipment, software, controls, and workflows that enable Rangeview’s R&D group to develop novel manufacturing technologies.

Your scope includes the instrumentation and data infrastructure that makes equipment and process state observable. You will work closely with materials scientists, process engineers, R&D specialists, and technical leadership to rapidly prototype, test, modify, and mature new manufacturing capabilities.

Modify equipment hardware, software, motion systems, and controls to support experimental materials, new process capabilities, improved reliability, and higher throughput within scalability and production sustainment constraints.
Develop and automate manufacturing, handling, post processing equipment, and monitoring equipment, translating material and process requirements into practical engineering systems.
Design, select, integrate, commission, and improve commercial and custom equipment to increase process observability, consistency, reliability, scalability, and operator effectiveness.
Develop and integrate the measurement systems the factory runs on, to support data acquisition and analysis.
Troubleshoot equipment and software issues, identify root causes, and implement verified corrective actions.
Work closely with process engineers and technical specialists to understand equipment-process interactions and translate findings into improved methods.
Support rapid expansion of Rangeview’s equipment base, printers, furnaces, and post-processing systems, including coordination and planning with Facilities and equipment manufacturers on infrastructure needed to support reliable equipment operation.
Serve as the responsible engineer for assigned equipment and development workstreams, driving work from concept through implementation, validation, and handoff.

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, controls engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
