Role Overview
Etched is looking for a Mechanical Lab Operations Lead to own the day-to-day operational backbone of our R&D and prototyping facility. This is a highly cross-functional, hands-on role responsible for everything required to keep a hybrid clean/dirty mechanical lab running seamlessly. You will manage a diverse footprint that spans a traditional machine shop , an advanced additive manufacturing and post-processing facility, a high-precision inspection area, and a large-scale inventory/rack build space.
Reporting to the Head of Lab Operations, you will be the ultimate custodian of lab safety, machine uptime, asset tracking, and space workflow. You will partner directly with mechanical, thermal, and hardware validation engineers across multiple product lines to triage fabrication requests, manage material pipelines, enforce EH&S compliance, and maintain an environment where engineering can move at lightning speed without sacrificing organization or safety.
