Mechanical Engineer

The role

You will translate high-level product needs into mechanical design solutions. You will collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop documentation, design components, and support implementation, verification, and production.

What you will do

• Design mechanical components and assemblies within a cross-functional team environment.
• Develop mechanical drawings and specifications.
• Review vendor design proposals for technical compliance.
• Gather and define component-level design requirements and specifications.
• Conduct research and development to identify optimal technologies within product cost constraints.
• Provide system-level mechanical design support for products in development.
• Lead engineering design reviews.
• Drive design improvements for reliability and usability issues.
• Mature early prototypes into production-ready products.
• Perform system- and subsystem-level design, modeling, and prototyping.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2-5+ years of hands-on product design and prototyping experience in precision mechanisms, electromechanical systems, and/or optical systems.
• 2-5+ years of experience in a multidisciplinary engineering or design role supporting consumer-electronics or comparable product-development programs.
• Experience collaborating with Industrial Design, Engineering, Research, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Strong knowledge of 3D mathematics, numerical methods, modeling, and simulation.
• Strong design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) skills.
• Knowledge of manufacturing methods and rapid-prototyping processes.
• Experience with mechanical integration of PCBs, PCBAs, and flexible circuits.
• Understanding of system- and module-level tradeoffs among mechanical, optical, electrical, thermal, and manufacturing performance.
• Experience creating mechanical test procedures and supporting product verification activities.
• Experience applying finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and related engineering-analysis tools.
• Experience designing for environmental durability, including high levels of dust and water ingress protection.

Nice to have

• Experience with AR/VR products or technologies.
• Experience with microelectronics integration, thermal design, and fabrication.
• Experience designing optical systems.

Benefits

• Healthcare, Dental, and Vision (100% coverage for Employees)
• Paid time off, including vacation, sick, paid holidays, and parental leave
• Short and Long-Term Disability
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Voluntary Worksite Benefits (Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity)

Before you apply

• Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
• U.S. citizenship is required to meet clearance eligibility requirements.
