Research Development Mechanical Engineer

About Native-

At Native, we are designing zero-service, high-performance hardware for modern Indian homes and some of our most ambitious components are still under wraps.

Were looking for a curious, systems-minded mechanical engineer who thrives on deep R&D, complex sub-assembly design, and figuring out how to make things work better fundamentally.

What you'll work on-

You'll join our stealth R&D effort to design an advanced fluid-handling subsystem for a next-generation appliance. Think precision filters, smart flushing mechanisms, and high-reliability rotary or stack-based systems.

This is a hands-on, early-stage role where you'll:

• Design and prototype precision mechanical sub-assemblies
• Build systems involving mesh filters, valves, nozzles, and flow paths
• Collaborate with vendors (local + global) to source and customise components
• Run teardown benchmarks on existing best-in-class global systems
• Perform mechanical validation (fit, tolerance, stress, reliability)

You wont be optimising existing CAD. You'll be defining the mechanism from scratch. Thats the extent of what we can share publicly.

Who you'll be working with-

This isn't a solo engineering role. You'll work with Industrial designers, Design Engineers, On-field manufacturing teams, and suppliers & vendors.

Who were looking for-

• 3-7 years of mechanical R&D experience, ideally in appliances, consumer hardware, or automotive subsystems.
• Number of years of experience doesn't matter if you clear our interview and have the right skills and capabilities.
• Hands-on with CAD, prototyping, mechanism design, and fluid system basics
• Exposure to rotary/actuated parts, valves, scrapers, or mesh-based systems.
• Bonus: Experience with fluid filtration, coffee machines, dishwashers, HVAC, or water appliances

Why join us?

• You'll

  own the mechanism

  from concept to mass production
• Your work will shape

  a core innovation

  in one of Indias most used appliances
• You'll work with a team that moves fast, builds scrappy, and actually cares about engineering detail

Its your chance to build the future of appliances in India.
