Who We Are
We are pioneering modular motion technologies to power the next generation of innovation for Industrial, Aerospace and Defense. If you're excited about disrupting legacy industries, and passionate about motor control technology, let's chat!
We are at the forefront of innovation, crafting exclusive motion control components that propel the industrial, aerospace, and defense sectors into the future.
A couple other things:
- We offer a lot of autonomy
- We like to run lean for impact
- We have great benefits
- We are well funded, and already generating revenue
- We're currently in Torrance, CA, but will be moving into a new facility in Hawthorne, CA in the summer!
What you'll do:
We are seeking a versatile, CAD and drawing master able to create outstanding drawings to produce key parts for manufacturing and certification. You will be a key step in the processes for building
- CAD Architecture: Keep the CAD structure clean with assemblies that make logical sense and configurations that allow for part variations
- Drawing generator: Create the detailed 2D drawings for complex mechanisms components and assemblies including precision gears, bearings, lead screws, braking systems, and encoders, avionics boxes.
- Fitment and Clearence: Create reasonable part tolerance and perform stack-up analysis. Use fit classes to establish good part alignment. Read manufactures data sheets to size appropriate housings.
- Fabricable Design: Deploy your knowledge of fabrication techniques (tool sizes, machine features) to minimize time with vendors and reduce overall cost.
What you need:
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Experience: 5+ years of experience as a drafter in aerospace or automotive fields.
- CAD Mastery: Advanced design experience in SolidWorks including complex assemblies and configuration management on a PDM system.
- ASME Y14 and GD&T master: Know ASME Y14 like the back of your hand and deploy that knowledge on the drawings.
- Team mindset: Help the team achieve their goals by owning the drawing process and finding ways circumvent the roadblocks.
Nice to have:
- Flight Program: Have created drawings used for a flight certification program (FAA or MIL)
- Gearbox Specialization: Detailed knowledge of how to create drawings for gears, screws, precision parts
What we have to offer:
We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
