Roles and Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of mechanical designs for consumer wearable products from concept through production.
• Develop solutions balancing competing requirements such as size, thermal performance, reliability, cost, manufacturability, and aesthetics.
• Conduct tolerance analysis, FEA (thermal/structural), and ensure product performance meets design specifications.
• Collaborate with suppliers to address design-for-manufacturability (DFM) challenges and oversee part development.
• Support pre-production builds to address maturity, supplier needs, and manufacturing challenges.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (or equivalent) and 5 years of experience.
• Proficiency with Siemens NX for CAD.
• Ability to conduct tolerance analysis (RSS and worst-case methods).
• Understanding of thermal design fundamentals.
• Proven ability to solve complex design problems and conduct root cause analysis (RCA).
• Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Comfortable working under tight deadlines in a dynamic environment.

Preferred Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with expertise in the following areas:

• Product Design and Manufacturing:

• Experience with the full lifecycle of consumer product design, from concept to large-scale manufacturing.
• Expertise in tooling design and resolving DFM issues.
• Experience with design for various fabrication technologies.

• Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills:

• FEA skills for thermal and structural analysis.
• Ability to make structured trade-off decisions optimizing cost, performance, and reliability.
• Tolerance analysis techniques and application

• Specialized Expertise (Preferred but not required):

• Proficiency in plastics design for injection molding and advanced molding techniques (e.g., two-shot, over-molding).
• Familiarity with high-density electronic packaging design, including power/thermal/reliability trade-offs.
• Acoustic design for high-quality sound performance.
• Designing for water resistance (IPx standards).
• Design for reliability testing and validation.
