Learn about our mission.
Our mission
At Mecado, we believe engineering design should move as fast as imagination.
Too often, engineers spend days, even weeks, grinding through iterations, chasing down optimization data, or wrestling with tools that slow progress instead of accelerating it. Many of us have lived this frustration firsthand: design loops that felt endless, and bottlenecks that drained momentum.
We built Vulcan to change that.
Imagine pressing "go" on a design before leaving for the day, and coming back the next morning to a complete design of experiments: optimization data, full analysis results, and presentation-ready review slides automatically prepared. That’s the vision. A workflow where engineers focus on creativity and problem-solving, while Vulcan handles the heavy lifting in the background.
Our mission is simple: engineering shouldn’t be slow, painful, or stuck in the past. With Vulcan, design is faster, smarter, and more collaborative — so teams can spend less time fixing what doesn’t work and more time building what does.
Careers
Mecado exists to evolve what it means to be a mechanical engineer now and in the future. We're seeking a rare combination of pragmatic software engineers who also have experience working on hardware to join us in that mission.
Open Roles
Software Engineer (ML)
Build ML systems that automate finite element analysis workflows through natural language interfaces. Develop models that understand engineering intent, configure ANSYS simulations automatically, and extract features from CAD files. Create intelligent systems that search engineering knowledge bases, interpret specifications, and execute multi-physics simulations autonomously. Perfect for ML engineers passionate about accelerating mechanical design and making sophisticated engineering analysis accessible.
Full Stack Engineer
Develop the web infrastructure powering our FEA automation platform that connects engineers with AI-driven simulation capabilities. Build APIs interfacing with ANSYS/CAD software, implement real-time collaboration tools, and create data pipelines processing geometry files through simulation results. Work on automated design review generation, simulation monitoring, and integrations with Jira/Slack. Ideal for engineers wanting to transform how mechanical design teams collaborate on complex engineering challenges.
