About the role

Teknova seeks a Senior Mechanical Engineer to design, develop, and validate semi- and fully automated production equipment. You will own design projects, perform analyses, and mentor junior engineers in a hands-on, cross-functional environment. You will collaborate with Quality, Facilities, MSAT, and Operations to ensure quality, reliability, and timely delivery while supporting GMP and ISO initiatives. A strong focus on design control and documentation is essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
