Full Job Description
We're rebuilding how the world constructs homes. We need someone who can engineer every piece of it. About ZURU Tech ZURU Tech is on a mission to digitalize construction — building the world's first BIM software that takes a home from your screen to your street. You design it. We build it. We're rebuilding the housing system from the ground up, redesigning every aspect along the way. This isn't iteration — it's a full reinvention of how the world builds homes. Part of the broader ZURU Group, ZURU Tech has grown rapidly across 120+ markets. We don't just improve the construction process — we're replacing it. Fueling that vision is a highly innovative, well-funded team moving at startup pace — with the resources and reach of a global company behind it. We build with extraordinary people. If you think the product sounds remarkable, wait until you meet the team.

As Senior Mechanical Engineer, you'll lead the design and development of products within the system, working across teams in New Zealand, Los Angeles, China, and Italy, from concept through to compliance. Position Impact: - In the first 3–6 months, you'll take ownership of your product within the building system, build a clear picture of how your design decisions affect adjacent products, and establish direct working relationships with cross-functional leads across the globe. Initial designs will be ready for small-scale testing or test builds. - By 12 months, you'll have full technical and compliance ownership of your product — from manufacture and shipping through to installation and long-term use — with multiple test cycles, design improvements, and the ability to lead cross-functional delivery independently. Key Responsibilities: 1. Product Design - Develop mechanical components for the ZURU House i
