We're hiring at multiple experience levels, including Senior and Staff positions.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architecture and develop mechanical implementations

- Optimize components for performance, integration, size, mass, cost, and ease of assembly

- Lead hands-on modeling and design of mechanical components and assemblies, including plastic, sheet metal, and die-cast parts

- Conduct mechanical design analyses: structural, tolerance stack-ups, FEA, and design for assembly (DFA)

- Create detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and documentation using CATIA

- Support prototype builds, component fabrication, testing, and validation efforts

- Support development of engineering and reliability test plans, analyze test data, and troubleshoot design issues

- Communicate with suppliers on DFM feedback and support tooling development and assembly bring-up

- Own designs from initial concept through mass production

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience

- 3+ years of experience in mechanical design

- Proficiency in CAD software (3DX CATIA preferred)

- Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes

- Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools (ANSYS preferred)

- Experience taking designs from concept through mass production

- Basic understanding of electrical and thermal design fundamentals, including PCBAs and electronics packaging

- Strong first-principles problem-solving skills (stress-strain analysis, thermal management, tolerance optimization, cost and mass reduction)

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills

- Comfort working across regions, including occasional international travel
