Description

  • Own subsystems of the droid end-to-end, including architecture, detailed design, prototyping, validation, DFM, tooling, and production ramp.
  • Partner with industrial designers to translate product intent into manufacturable engineered designs.
  • Define and negotiate subsystem requirements with systems engineering, operations, and hardware leads.
  • Create and iterate CAD designs using Siemens NX.
  • Use hand calculations, FEA, first-principles thinking, and prototypes to evaluate and downselect design options.
  • Design test fixtures, assembly aids, and inspection tooling for rate production and validation.
  • Work with test engineering on life-test rigs and end-of-line testers.
  • Drive parts, assemblies, and BOMs through release, revision control, and change management.
  • Collaborate with electrical, firmware, thermal, and manufacturing engineers to ensure tight system integration.
  • Travel occasionally to suppliers and manufacturing partners to qualify processes, resolve tooling issues, and support production ramps.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, or a related field.
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience delivering physical products to production.
  • Track record of owning at least one complex subassembly or full product end-to-end.
  • Experience collaborating with industrial designers on a consumer-visible or user-facing product.
  • CAD fluency for system-level ownership; Siemens NX preferred, with Creo, SolidWorks, or CATIA also acceptable.
  • Strong fundamentals in load estimation, hand calculations, tolerance analysis, FEA, GD&T, and clean CAD practices.
  • Practical knowledge of manufacturing methods including injection molding, thermoplastic and thermoset composites, EPP foam molding, stamping, CNC machining, and related tooling.
  • Hands-on prototyping experience in a machine shop and with 3D printing.
  • Good judgment on when to iterate, freeze, or revisit requirements.
  • Preferred: prior work on a consumer-visible hardware product with industrial design as a key stakeholder.
  • Preferred: experience designing test fixtures, assembly aids, or end-of-line testers.
  • Preferred: experience carrying a design through tooling kickoff, T0 samples, and production ramp at a contract manufacturer.
  • Preferred: familiarity with electronics integration, including flex routing, PCB mounting, thermal control, connectors, and sealing.
  • Preferred: experience with high-cycle mechanical reliability and design-for-reliability practices.
  • Preferred: prior work in drone, robotics, automotive, medical device, or consumer electronics NPI.
