Santa Monica, California / Engineering / Full-Time
The Role
As a Mechanical Engineer at Red 6, you will take a critical role in developing next generation AR Systems. You will become part of a team exploring new concepts through CAD/CAM design and fast iterative prototyping. A wide range of approaches will be explored combining electrical, mechanical, optical, firmware, and software techniques. We want people who work well in small teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, are able to drive a concept into a prototype and then mature the design to low-volume military product solutions.
We are looking for someone with a productive mindset who can apply their mechanical engineering expertise to solve problems in creative, insightful ways. Our ideal candidate has a strong fundamental engineering background, prototyping skills, 3D CAD capability, and experience designing and manufacturing consumer or enterprise technology products.

About the department
Augmented Reality / Hardware / Integration Technology Department:
The Hardware Technology team at Red 6 engineers high performing and highly advanced augmented reality platforms and infrastructure, which support our military partners’ training and operations.
Research Department:
The goal of the Research department is to understand and develop how the multiverse works. Embedded within the Research department is a talented team that builds the tools that allow us to conduct R&D with a unique understanding of bleeding edge technologies. These tools tackle problems from data ingestion and storage, to data visualization and advanced communications networks. In order to achieve this goal, we require a first-rate development ecosystem. As such, we’re investing in building an AR-specific engineering team.
