About Demolish Foods

Were reinventing meat for a planet-positive future. Our Gen4 precision-structuring platform is the first in the world to recreate all perceptible components of meat. It recreates the muscle fibres, connective tissue, and fat of whole-cut chicken entirely from plants. Backed by investors with deep manufacturing and food technology expertise, weve commissioned our pilot line in Bangalore and are scaling rapidly toward first commercial launches. Every kilogram of Demolish meat saves water, land, and carbon while keeping animals out of the equation. If youre excited to push the boundaries of engineering and scale solutions that matter, join us and help make food systems kinder, healthier, and more sustainable.

Role Overview

As part of the mechanical engineering team, you will support the design, build, assembly, and testing of special-purpose machines and development tools used in our R&D and production environments. You will help turn engineering concepts into physical systems through CAD updates, prototyping, fabrication follow-up, assembly, debugging, and documentation. This is a strong opportunity for fresh graduates and early-career engineers to grow at the intersection of mechanical design, prototyping, manufacturing, and food-tech innovation.

Responsibilities

• Support the mechanical engineering team in the design, build, and iteration of machine parts, assemblies, fixtures, and development tools
• Assist in creating and updating CAD models, 2D drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation
• Help convert design concepts into prototype builds through part sourcing, fabrication follow-up, assembly, and fit-checking
• Work with engineers, fabricators, and vendors to support part development and machine builds
• Assist with prototype assembly, testing, debugging, and design iteration based on trial feedback
• Support the preparation and organisation of drawings, standard parts, CAD files, and release documentation
• Help maintain engineering discipline in dimensions, tolerances, revision tracking, and documentation quality
• Participate in workshop, lab, or production-floor activities related to machine setup, trials, troubleshooting, and modifications
• Observe and document machine behavior during trials, and provide structured feedback to the engineering team
• Contribute to test rigs, fixtures, QC tools, and machine sub-systems that support product and process development

Requirements

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or another relevant STEM field
• 02 years of experience through internships, projects, or full-time work in mechanical design, prototyping, manufacturing, or related areas
• Familiarity with at least one CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or AutoCAD
• Basic understanding of engineering drawings, dimensions, fits, and tolerances
• Exposure to manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, 3D printing, or assembly
• Strong willingness to learn through hands-on build, testing, and debugging work
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English
• Organized, disciplined, and capable of working effectively within a small cross-functional team
• Identify strongly with the companys mission, are driven by curiosity and have a collaborative spirit.
