Mechanical Design Engineer

The role

You will own parts and sub-assemblies from concept through high volume production. You will design parts, build prototypes, run component testing, and work with vendors and CMs.

What you will do

• Design parts and sub-assemblies within a defined architecture, and carry them through to mass production
• Build your own prototypes, break them, and iterate fast
• Run component level testing for performance, durability, and part to part variability
• Write and execute accelerated test plans that predict field behavior
• Release production-ready 2D drawings that a supplier can quote and build without a follow-up call
• Work directly with vendors and CMs on DFM feedback, tooling reviews, and first article inspection
• Collaborate with EE, firmware, software, and industrial design to keep your parts balanced against the rest of the system

Required qualifications

• Parts you personally designed that are in production today, and you can explain every feature and why it's there
• Fluency in at least one high volume process (injection molding, die casting, stamping, or metal injection molding) at the level of gate placement, draft, knit lines, sink, and warp
• Tolerance stack-ups you've run on assemblies you owned, including how you chose the datum scheme and what you did when the stack didn't close
• GD&T you actually apply on drawings
• Solidworks proficiency deep enough that CAD is never the bottleneck
• Working experience with PDM/PLM, ECOs, and quality systems
• FEA used to make a decision, with an understanding of where the model stops being trustworthy
• A debugging instinct: given a part failing in the field, you can reason from the failure mode back to the design decision that caused it
• Comfort in a fast-paced startup where the answer is often "go build it and find out"
• A technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent

Nice to have

• 2+ years of professional design experience
