Hardware
Full-time
Juicero’s mission is to make healthy living easy and accessible through technology and plant-based nutrition. Starting with the first ever countertop cold-pressed juicing system—The Juicero Press, Packs and connected Juicero App—and reinventing the “farm to glass” supply chain, we unlock 100% raw, fresh, organic produce directly to consumers everywhere.
The Product Design team converts requirements for awesome user experience into a tangible product through hands-on design, prototyping, and testing, such as v1 of the Juicero Press.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be a part of the design team and the realization of various key systems on the Juicero Press. Our ideal candidate will have gone through consumer product design cycles and carried their concepts through high-volume manufacturing. You will bring a generalist problem solving mentality to our start-up environment, in addition to your own unique skillset with plastics, metals, or MP processes, to help make Juicero accessible to the world.
Juicero is a Series C funded start-up with investment from leading venture firms such as Google Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Campbell’s soup, ARTIS Ventures and many others. We’re growing quickly and care deeply about building a world class team.
