$200,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr Reinvent housing. Transform lives. Design a new class of product.

At Vessel, we’re not tweaking the edges of an old system—we’re building a new one from the ground up. We’re creating a new generation of housing products:

designed with elegance, built for speed, and engineered to improve life for thousands.

As our

Director of Mechanical Engineering , you won’t be refining a part—you’ll be defining a product. You’ll lead the mechanical vision for how our homes are formed, connected, shipped, and assembled. You’ll build the hardware of a new kind of housing system—something closer to a product than a project, closer to an iPhone than an apartment.

This is a role for someone who wants to

build something that matters , and

engineer at the scale of impact .

What You'll Do

Lead the mechanical design and development of Vessel’s housing product—from structural frames to exterior enclosures, fastening systems to finishing details Architect a platform that’s easy to manufacture, ship, and install, while being durable, elegant, and high-performance Create a product that meets the standards of the best consumer hardware—but at the scale of neighborhoods Own the hardware systems roadmap, balancing performance, beauty, cost, and speed-to-market Collaborate deeply across architecture, software, electrical, and manufacturing to deliver seamless, scalable design Build and lead a world-class team of mechanical engineers, and grow them into the defining force behind a revolutionary product line

Who You Are

A product-minded mechanical engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping real things into the world—devices, vehicles, robotics, or next-gen systems Mastery of materials, structural design, connection strategies, DfMA principles, and real-world performance tradeoffs Obsessed with simplicity, quality, and speed—you believe the best designs are the ones that disappear Comfortable across concept, CAD, testing, tooling, manufacturing, and field deployment. You can sketch it, design it, prototype it, and make it real A team builder, cross-functional collaborator, and mission-driven thinker Motivated not just by what’s cool to build—but by what matters

Why Vessel

We are building homes like no one has built them before—beautiful, affordable, precision-engineered, and scalable. At Vessel, you’ll help launch a product that gives people

more than shelter : it gives them dignity, stability, and a future.

If you’ve ever wanted to

change the world with your tools , this is your moment.

At Vessel, we believe that those who help build the future should share in the value they create. In addition to a competitive base salary, this role includes:

Equity Ownership

– You’ll receive a meaningful equity grant, giving you real stake in the success of Vessel and alignment with our long-term mission.

Performance Bonus

– An annual bonus opportunity tied to personal and company performance, recognizing both impact and leadership.

Comprehensive Benefits

– Including health, dental, and vision coverage, generous PTO, and access to wellness and professional development resources.

– For candidates joining us in NYC, we provide relocation assistance to make the move seamless.

Mission-Driven Culture
