About OLIX AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance. The Role We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineering Manager to lead and grow our mechanical engineering organisation. This is a high-ownership role spanning technical leadership, team development, and hands-on engineering oversight across the full product lifecycle. Driving products from concept and architecture through to production and field support. You will drive the delivery of complex mechanical systems, enclosures, and thermal solutions while building the culture, capability, and processes that let your team do their best work, collaborating closely across Electronics, Optical, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, and Product Management. If you care equally about technical excellence, developing people, and delivering breakthrough compute infrastructure, there is a massive amount of impactful work to dig into here. Responsibilities Team Leadership & Development: Lead, mentor, and grow a team of mechanical engineers and designers — setting objectives, running performance reviews, recruiting talent, and fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and technical excellence. Engineering Delivery: Oversee the design, verification, and validation of mechanical systems, assemblies, and enclosures, ensuring products meet performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost targets from concept through qualification and production release. Technical Leadership: Provide direction across mechanical design, structural analysis, thermal management, and materials selection; review CAD, drawings, and tolerance analyses; drive DFM/DFA/DFR; and lead resolution of complex mechanical and integration issues. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Electronics, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Product Management to integrate mechanical, electrical, and thermal subsystems and support NPI through volume production. Quality, Compliance & Governance: Own engineering documentation, configuration control, and change management, ensuring designs meet safety, reliability, environmental, and regulatory requirements. Planning & Strategy: Manage budgets, resources, and engineering KPIs; define the mechanical engineering roadmap; and align engineering execution with company strategy and product goals. Skills & Experience Team Leadership & Management: Proven track record leading, mentoring, and scaling high-performing mechanical engineering teams, aligning technical execution with company goals. Technical Foundation: Strong background designing complex mechanical systems, enclosures, and product platforms for high-performance electronic equipment, with deep understanding of structural design, thermal management, materials, tolerancing, and manufacturability. Product Development & Delivery: Experience delivering complex products from concept through production and lifecycle support, including design reviews, qualification, NPI, and production ramp within structured, stage-gated processes. Thermal & Systems Insight: Solid understanding of air- and liquid-cooled thermal solutions and system-level integration (electronics, airflow, cable routing, assembly constraints), enabling credible technical oversight.
