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 and highly motivated Mechanical Engineering Manager to lead and grow our mechanical engineering organisation. This role spans technical leadership, team development, and hands-on engineering oversight across the full product lifecycle — 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 enable your team to do their best work. The position requires close collaboration across Electronics, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, and Product Management teams.

- Oversee the design, development, verification, and validation of mechanical systems, assemblies, and enclosures.
- Ensure products meet requirements for performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost.
- Manage engineering resources and workload planning across multiple projects.
- Lead the development of mechanical architectures, packaging concepts, and product integration strategies.
- Ensure designs are optimised for production, assembly, maintenance, and lifecycle support
- Support product development from concept through qualification, production release, and sustaining engineering.
Technical Leadership
- Provide technical leadership across mechanical design, structural analysis, thermal management, and material selection.
- Review and approve CAD models, engineering drawings, tolerance analyses, and design documentation.
- Drive the application of Design for Manufacture (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Reliability (DFR) principles.
- Oversee thermal, structural, vibration, and environmental performance assessments.
- Lead root cause analysis and resolution of complex mechanical and product integration issues.
- Identify and manage technical risks throughout the product lifecycle.
- Monitor emerging technologies, materials, and engineering methodologies to drive innovation and competitive advantage.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Electronics, Software, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Product Management teams.
