What you will do

• Own mechanical engineering activities across product development phases, from brainstorming and concept evaluation through production and design intent.
• Lead mechanical design as a domain expert, including planning, prioritizing, and delivering work autonomously within interdisciplinary projects.
• Develop manufacturable designs using DFM and DFA for both high- and low-volume products.
• Create and manage vendor-ready documentation packages (3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, and assembly instructions).
• Perform engineering execution such as 3D CAD modeling, analysis, and documentation, including prototyping support (e.g., 3D printing, casting, rapid tooling).
• Represent engineering depth as a senior individual contributor and mentor, and lead small teams when needed.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or similar.
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design and documentation, primarily in consumer electronics and similar products.
• Advanced solid and surface modeling skills with 3D software (SolidWorks preferred).
• Experience collaborating in multifunctional teams as the mechanical design lead.
• Knowledge of requirements and design constraints for manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, machining, and casting.
• Ability to prepare and manage vendor-ready documentation packages, including 3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, and assembly instructions.

Nice to have

• Experience across startups, corporate organizations, and consulting firms.
• Exposure to product qualification, regulatory compliance, and quality management standards.
• Experience with advanced mechanical design, engineering analysis, and reliability methodologies.
• Knowledge of electronic enclosure design, thermal management, and electromechanical system integration.
• Hands-on electronics and firmware prototyping experience using off-the-shelf hobbyist components and dev kits.

Culture & Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package for regular, full-time employees.
• Paid time off (vacation, company paid holidays, personal days, sick leave) based on employee grade.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage (or provincial healthcare coordination in Canada).
• Retirement savings plans (e.g., 401(k) in the U.S., RRSP in Canada) and life/disability insurance.
• Employee assistance programs and additional benefits per local policy and eligibility.

Hiring process

• Interview process with potential video/screenshot capture for verification during hiring and onboarding.
• Compensation and eligibility determined based on factors such as location, education, certifications, and seniority.
