Hardware, Mechanical Engineer

The role

You will turn precision capture hardware into products. You will own mechanical designs from concept and prototypes through validation and production.

What you will do

• Design mechanical systems for accurate recording and efficient manufacturing.
• Build and test prototypes to improve fit, weight distribution, stiffness, and ease of use.
• Analyze tolerances, loads, and sensor alignment.
• Validate key assumptions with physical measurements.
• Partner with electrical and sensor engineers on packaging, thermal paths, cable routing, and service access.
• Review parts with suppliers and refine designs using assembly results, reliability testing, and field feedback.

Required qualifications

• 3–4 years of experience in mechanical engineering.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks or Onshape).
• Ability to produce clear engineering drawings.
• Solid understanding of mechanics, materials, tolerances, fits, fasteners, and dimensional inspection.
• Hands-on experience building prototypes and testing physical assemblies.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, molding, sheet metal, or additive manufacturing.
• Ability to package electronics and sensors with assembly, thermal behavior, and maintenance in mind.
• Experience working with suppliers to resolve part quality, manufacturability, and cost issues.

Nice to have

• Experience with wearable products, robot end effectors, handheld mechanisms, or precision sensor mounts.
• Experience with flexible materials, thermal analysis, or fatigue and durability testing.

Before you apply

• We may use AI-assisted tools to help evaluate applications against the requirements of this role.
