Job Description
About the Role LDX Technologies is a vertically integrated, growth-stage manufacturer operating in a highly regulated consumer products sector. Founded six years ago, we hold proprietary patents across our extraction and processing technology and continue to expand operations at our Los Angeles facility. We are hiring a Principal Mechatronics Engineer to own the design, automation, and continuous improvement of our extraction and processing operations end to end. This is a hands-on, cross-disciplinary role reporting directly to the COO/CEO. You will set technical direction across mechanical design, controls, software, and process engineering — and you will have the autonomy to do so. We are an open-minded leadership team that values engineers who think rigorously, ship working systems, and improve them in production. What You'll Do Design, build, and continuously improve extraction and processing equipment and the systems around it. Own controls and automation architecture — PLC programming, HMI/SCADA, sensor integration, and safety interlocks. Develop AI and software tooling to optimize yield, throughput, and quality across the process line. Lead electrical design and integration for new equipment installations and facility expansions. Map, model, and optimize end-to-end process flows; identify bottlenecks and engineer them out. Partner with operations, quality, and compliance teams to ensure all systems meet regulatory and safety requirements. Specify and qualify equipment, vendors, and integrators; manage capex projects from concept through commissioning. Document systems clearly so the rest of the team can operate, maintain, and extend what you build. What We're Looking For 10+ years of engineering experience spanning mechanical, electrical, and controls work in a manufacturing or process environment. Demonstrated track record taking automated systems from design through production deployment. Strong PLC and controls experience — ladder logic, structured text, HMI development, and field I/O integration. Working software development skills (Python or equivalent) and exposure to applying ML/AI to industrial or process data. Comfort with electrical schematics, panel design, and the practical side of getting equipment safely powered and wired.
