Job Title

Senior Mechanical EngineerAbout Us:We’re reinventing meat for a planet-positive future. Our Gen4 precision-structuring platform is the first in the world to recreate all perceptible components of meat. It recreates the muscle fibres, connective tissue and fat of whole-cut chicken entirely from plants. Backed by investors with deep manufacturing and food technology expertise, we’ve commissioned our pilot line in Bangalore and are scaling rapidly toward first commercial launches. Every kilogram of Demolish meat saves water, land and carbon while keeping animals out of the equation. If you’re excited to push the boundaries of engineering and scale solutions that matter, join us and help make food systems kinder, healthier and more sustainable.Know more: Location: BangaloreRole Summary:We are looking for energetic individuals to join our team of passionate engineers, builders and creators to tackle the challenges of building a more sustainable food system. As part of the mechanical engineering team, your role will involve creating innovative equipment that advance processing technologies from initial concept to bench scale to scale them to full production.Responsibilities:Conceptualise, design, and develop novel mechanical equipment and sub-systems from early prototypes through pilot-scale buildsTranslate process and product requirements into practical machine concepts, mechanisms, assemblies, and test setupsPerform engineering calculations, CAD modelling, detailing, and design validation to ensure performance, manufacturability, and reliabilityDesign and improve test rigs, characterization setups, QC fixtures, and related development tools to support product development and maintain quality standardsSupport the scale-up of bench-top equipment to pilot and production scaleWork closely with R&D, process, and operations teams to troubleshoot equipment issues and improve throughput, consistency, and usabilityDrive iterative build-test-debug cycles and translate learnings into robust design improvementsPrepare manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and related documentation for fabrication and assemblyCoordinate with vendors, fabricators, and machine shops during part development, build, and commissioningApply sound engineering practices in GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM, DFA, safety, and maintainabilityEnsure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and safety guidelinesRequirements:B.Tech / DD / M.Tech / MS in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Design, and Applied Mechanics and related fields2+ years of hands-on experience in machine design, new product development, or complex mechanical assembliesExperience taking equipment or sub-systems from concept through prototyping, testing, and fabrication; pilot or production scale-up experience preferredStrong proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and FEA analysis tools.Proficient in GD&T, DFM, DFA, and understanding of manufacturing machines.Experience with engineering calculations and design validationGood understanding of fabrication and manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, welding, and assemblyExperience working with vendors / fabricators and supporting build, debugging, and commissioningExperience with food equipment, sensors/instrumentation, knowledge of Python, Arduino/C++, Raspberry Pi, and/or PLCs is a plus.Identify strongly with the company’s mission, are driven by curiosity and have a collaborative spirit.
