Job Summary:

The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for leading the mechanical design of products from concept to mass production. Projects are primarily customer-facing, and span a wide range of industries including consumer electronics, medical device, and Agtech.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform hands-on mechanical engineering design including 3D modeling and 2D drawing creation.
• Specify materials, finishes, and off-the-shelf components to meet functional requirements.
• Participate in design, drawing, and tolerance analysis reviews.
• Ensure designs are compliant with industry, safety, and performance standards.
• Work with mechanical lead to assess engineering analysis and simulation needs.
• Assess and mitigate technical risks with project teams.
• Perform testing and debugging to ensure hardware reliability and performance.
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering counterparts to solve system-level engineering challenges.
• Update and maintain engineering documentation including product and engineering requirement documents.
• Work closely with production factories and supplier teams on DFM/DFA, tooling kick-offs, and first article approvals.
• Actively participate in regular project status meetings with relevant external and internal stakeholders.
• Commission, assemble, and validate prototypes at various stages of design maturity.
• Take ownership and accountability of engineering tasks through all stages of the Product Development lifecycle.
• Interact with customers, sales, industrial design, engineering, production, quality, sourcing, and any other departments as needed to meet project objectives.
• Travel to customer locations, suppliers, and production factories in service of project objectives.
• Embrace engineering best practices, yet remain innovative, in order to deliver high-quality designs with maximum efficiency.
• Collaborate well with local and international teams.
• Stay updated on emerging hardware technologies and industry trends.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering.
• 3-7 years of hands-on mechanical engineering design experience for high-volume manufacturing.
• Proficient in mechanical engineering fundamentals as well as Solidworks for 3D/2D.
• Understanding of design for a variety of manufacturing processes including injection molding, machining, sheet metal, and rapid prototyping.
• Experience with tooling kick-offs.
• Ability to create clear engineering specifications, assemblies, bills of materials, 2D drawings, and other documents based on best practices.
• Proficient in hands-on assembly, testing, rework, and use of lab equipment.
• Understanding of mechanical design considerations for consumer electronics.
• Ability to adapt and prioritize when handling tasks for multiple concurrent projects.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent attitude, work ethic, and time management.
• Ability to speak Spanish and/or Mandarin are a plus, but not required.
