Mechanical Design Engineer, Wearables

The role

This person will own the mechanical architecture of a wearable data collection platform for head-worn and body-worn devices. They will set mechanical requirements, manage build and tooling strategies, and perform prototype testing and analysis.

What you will do

• Own the mechanical architecture of the wearable data collection platform.
• Set mechanical requirements for optics, electrical, and compute teams.
• Decide which mechanical problems each device generation takes on.
• Own build and tooling strategy for the platform.
• Set mechanical standards for design review, tolerance analysis, materials, and DFM.
• Build, test, and break prototypes on real users.
• Run tolerance, structural, drop, and thermal analyses.
• Grow the mechanical bench through design review, mentorship, and hiring.

Required qualifications

• Exceptional mechanical intuition.
• Owned the mechanical architecture of a shipped wearable, head-worn, or handheld consumer device end to end.
• Depth packaging cameras, sensors, compute, and batteries into space-constrained enclosures.
• Deep hands-on knowledge of injection molding and polymer selection.
• Working fluency in soft goods and textiles.
• High proficiency in SolidWorks, Catia, NX, or similar CAD tools, including surfacing.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, moves fast, and curious about how the whole system works.
