Junior Mechanical Engineer – twentyAI Full Time

6-Month FTC | 5 days a week in office

Start: May 2026

A high-growth construction technology business is hiring two junior engineers to support the development and deployment of robotic, automated manufacturing systems – transforming how homes are built through hardware and software. Built for Real-World Production

Construction is one of the least digitised industries globally, facing major challenges across cost, labour, and delivery. This team is solving that by combining robotics, mechanical engineering, and automation to enable faster, more efficient, and scalable production environments.

This is a hands-on opportunity to work directly with physical systems, contributing to the build and iteration of real-world hardware.

Responsibilities

• Support the build, assembly, and deployment of mechanical systems
• Work across robotic and automated production environments
• Assist with prototyping, testing, and iteration of hardware components
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across mechanical and electromechanical systems
• Collaborate with engineering teams across mechanical, electrical, and software
• Contribute to continuous improvement of systems already in operation

Requirements

• Background in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar — OR relevant Mechanical Fitter experience
• Exposure to robotics, automation, or electromechanical systems
• Strong interest in mechanical engineering and real-world hardware
• Ability to get up to speed quickly and adapt in a fast-moving environment
• Comfortable working hands-on with tools, systems, and physical components

What Stands Out

• Internships or placements completed during university
• Experience working with mechanical, electrical, or pneumatic systems
• Hands-on exposure to robotics systems
• CAD experience and ability to work from or produce technical designs
• Personal projects, builds, or engineering work outside of formal environments
• Startup experience or evidence of working in fast-paced, ambiguous settings
• Side projects or business ventures demonstrating initiative and ownership

Interview Process

• Intro / Screening call
• Practical task (CAD and/or physical hardware-based assessment)
• Final cultural / team meeting
