## Who we are

Rangeview is on a mission to build the foundry system that reindustrializes America. We exist to break the legacy manufacturing trap by reinventing critical production for the twenty-first century. Through advanced software, deep automation, breakthroughs in materials science, and modern financing strategies, Rangeview rewrites both the cost curve and the power structure of making metal parts.  Here is a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCk53Se5mMY) where you can check out our team, office and what we are doing here at Rangeview, Inc.

What’s in it for you

This is an opportunity to design, build, test, and commission automated manufacturing equipment that directly supports Rangeview’s production ramp. You will work on real factory equipment, not theoretical process work, and your designs will impact throughput, quality, safety, and production readiness.

You will collaborate closely with Production, Materials & Process Engineering, and other technical teams to bring equipment from concept through deployment. This role is a strong fit for someone who wants hands-on ownership, enjoys solving manufacturing problems on the floor, and wants to help build automation systems in a high-growth industrial environment.

## What you’ll do

- Design and develop manufacturing equipment from concept through production.
- Evaluate, qualify, and engage vendors for components, subsystems, and full pieces of manufacturing equipment.
- Perform failure mode analysis to ensure equipment is safe, reliable, and performant.
- Collaborate with Production, Materials & Process Engineering, and other peer teams to align projects to business goals.
- Resolve issues encountered in production and develop and test engineering changes as needed.
- Ensure equipment meets requirements for throughput, quality, safety, and footprint.
- Identify and drive improvement projects to improve current manufacturing processes.
- Document equipment so it is simple and intuitive for operators to use, even when the underlying systems are complex.
- Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and handoff of equipment into reliable production use.

## What you’ll need

- 3+ years of engineering experience in aerospace, automation, manufacturing, or a closely related environment.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a similar engineering discipline, or demonstrated equivalent experience.
- Familiarity with mechanical design tools such as CAD, FEA, PLM, or similar systems.
- Hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Familiarity with industrial controls, including PLCs, HMIs, and common controls components.
- Experience owning or contributing meaningfully to automated equipment builds.
- Strong mechanical design skills, including materials selection, statics/dynamics, tolerancing, component selection, and related fundamentals.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Must be able to work full-time, W2, onsite in El Segundo, CA.
- This role may require access to ITAR-controlled technical data. Candidates must be currently authorized to access ITAR-controlled information as a U.S. person, including as a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.

## Preferred qualifications

- Experience with investment casting, vacuum melting and casting, heat treatment, ceramics manufacturing, or similar manufacturing processes.
- Familiarity with SLA printers, furnaces, or high-vacuum systems.
- Familiarity with highly regulated production environments and safety-critical equipment.
- Experience working for a high-growth technology company, startup, or rapidly scaling manufacturing environment.

Additional requirements

- Must be able to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed.

## Compensation

Please note that the compensation information below is a general guideline. Compensation is based on demonstrated candidate experience and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations.

Level 2: $108,000 – $132,000 annually + equity Level 3 / Senior: $126,000 – $154,000 annually + equity

## Benefits and perks

Rangeview offers a competitive benefits package, including equity, unlimited PTO, medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Compliance

Rangeview is a DDTC-registered, ITAR-compliant business. To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicants must be currently authorized to access ITAR-controlled information as a U.S. person, including as a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident, refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158.

## About Rangeview Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Rangeview is rethinking precision investment casting by building a digital, robotic "cyberfoundry" to produce high-quality metal parts faster and cheaper for defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: Los Angeles, California, United States (with additional offices in El Segundo, CA and Lakewood, CO)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Cameron Schiller (CEO) and Aeden Gasser-Brennan (CTO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Defense and Space Manufacturing; advanced precision casting for aerospace, defense components, and industrial applications.
- Target customers: B2B / B2G – primarily defense primes, aerospace OEMs, and manufacturers needing complex cast superalloy parts.
- Mission / purpose: Restore America’s industrial foundation by reinventing the technology stack of precision casting using robotics, data processing, and additive manufacturing.

## Products & Services
- **Digital Casting Technology (Cyberfoundry)**: A proprietary end-to‑end manufacturing system that combines additive manufacturing of ceramic molds, automated casting, and data-driven quality control. Claimed benefits include higher yield, lower tooling costs, and dramatically reduced lead times compared to traditional investment casting.
- **Materials & Capabilities**: Handles nickel, cobalt, and other superalloys (e.g., MAR‑M‑247, IN713LC, IN718); vacuum and air melt casting; surface finishes down to less than 10 µin Ra after superfinishing; supports DFM, NDT, heat treatment, HIP, machining, metallurgical analysis, and mechanical testing.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly available.
- **Key Metric**: Total disclosed funding ≈ $200K Seed round (CB Insights); also secured a $1.43M U.S. Air Force SBIR Phase II award in 2025 (SBIR.gov).
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Berkeley SkyDeck (lead), TenOneTen Ventures, Pathbreaker Ventures, Calibrate Ventures, Shield Capital, and others.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 63.6% year-over-year to ~15 employees (LinkedIn); website traffic up 190% yearly; awarded a significant SBIR contract in 2025; currently hiring for senior engineering and automation roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Differentiated Process**: Replace the multi‑step traditional investment casting with a digital, ceramic‑mold additive process – fewer steps, less tooling cost, faster turnaround.
- **Material Expertise**: Deep capability with nickel‑ and cobalt‑based superalloys critical for turbine components; supports high‑precision standards (AMS 2175 Grade A).
- **Self‑Reinforcing Moat**: Combining proprietary equipment, software, and materials in a single “cyberfoundry” creates a hard-to-replicate system where machine, material, and data are continuously improved together.

## Strategic Focus
- **Priorities**: Scale up production capacity for defense and aerospace customers; further reduce porosity and material waste; automate more steps in the foundry; expand team talent in casting engineering, equipment automation, and government program management.
- **Direction**: Deepen partnerships with DoD primes and leverage SBIR wins to move from prototyping to low‑rate initial production.

## Why Work Here
- **Impact & Challenge**: Opportunity to redefine a century‑old manufacturing process – ideal for engineers who want to build machines and software that directly shape next‑gen defense components.
- **Culture**: Small, tight‑knit team (15–25 people reported); founded by UC Berkeley alumni; early‑stage energy with hands‑on work from concept to production.
- **Work Policy**: On‑site / in‑office in Los Angeles (El Segundo) and Colorado offices – not remote.
- **Tech Stack**: Uses PostgreSQL, Greenhouse (ATS), NetSuite, Oracle, Java, TypeScript, GraphQL, React, Git – a modern engineering environment.
- **Benefits & Perks**: Not extensively documented, but the Built In profile indicates employees report strong growth opportunities and a sense of mission.
