Job Summary
Job description
Who are we
Were building the worlds largest hydration platform to replace a $1.5 trillion industry controlled by Coca-Cola and Pepsi companies selling sugar water in plastic. Their model is stuck in the past. Were changing that from the workplace.

About the role
We design everything in-house mechanical industrial design electronics embedded software IoT but manufacture through contract manufacturers. That means your designs dont stay in CAD. They become thousands of physical products dispensing water handling flavors surviving daily use in offices and hotels across Europe.

What youll own
End-to-end design execution from concept and trade-off analysis through detailed design prototyping and production-release documentation
Aesthetics that survive manufacturing translate CMF direction and design intent into manufacturable output; solve parting lines sink marks and draft angles in CAD not on the production line
DFM/DFA/DFS/DFC by default injection molding sheet metal CNC machining welding finishing. You know whats manufacturable and what isnt
Engineering validation calculations FEA DFMEA test-to-fail. You dont just design you prove it works
