Mechanical Design Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the design and development of mechanical components and systems for next-generation consumer electronics and AR/VR products.

The engineer will work in a highly cross-functional environment collaborating with electrical engineering industrial design firmware and operations teams to design innovative products that meet performance reliability and manufacturability goals.

This role requires strong expertise in CAD design product prototyping high-volume manufacturing and mechanical system integration for compact electronic devices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the mechanical design for a particular component feature or system while having end-to-end product development understanding.
  
• Contribute to mechanical solutions as part of a highly cross-functional team working closely with electrical engineering industrial design operations and firmware teams.
  
• Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for enclosures internal structures and components using CAD software (e.g. Creo UG NX).
  
• Model and iteratively refine prototypes and characterization test systems to validate design concepts and performance goals.
  
• Build and test prototypes to analyze performance reliability and durability under various conditions.
  
• Optimize space constraints ensuring tight integration of mechanical parts with electrical components
  
• Work across the full product development cycle from concept to ship.
  
• Research and evaluate materials (plastics metals composites) and manufacturing processes such as injection molding CNC machining or die-casting to come up with innovative solutions and approaches for next gen products.
  
• Collaborate and manage work with Asia-based Supply Chain partners to ensure manufacturability quality and cost targets are met.
  
• Troubleshoot assembly manufacturing and system level issues throughout the product lifecycle.
  

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  
• 8 years of industry experience in mechanical design.
  
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (Creo SolidWorks UGNX).
  
• Deep understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly).
  
• Experience in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Design for Assembly (DFA) statistical tolerance analysis techniques functional dimensioning geometric tolerancing and 3D/2D CAD proficiency (e.g. SolidWorks Creo NX).
  
• Working knowledge in material properties such as plastics metal adhesive glass etc. and selection for consumer products.
  
• Testing and analysis experience (FEA Simulation Design of Experiments etc.).
  
• Experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for structural thermal or drop testing.
  
• Hands-on experience and thorough understanding of high-volume manufacturing techniques (stamping machining injection molding casting etc.).
  
• Prior experience in consumer electronics or high-volume precision manufacturing.
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• 10 years of product design and development experience of handheld and/or wearable electronics for high volume manufacturing including full systems ownership.
  
• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering.
  
• Experience designing handheld and wearable electronics for high volume manufacturing.
  
• Experience with NX CAD software.
  
• Experience with products cosmetic surface treatments and interfacing with industrial design teams.
  
• Experience designing for human factors and ergon
