Perform system design analyses, including reliability, design-for-manufacture, design-for-assembly, cost-downs, etc.

Coordinate engineering efforts across the mechanical engineering team.

Mentor junior engineers, help improve designs, and inculcate a production mindset.

Desired Skills:

Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering.

8 years of related work experience, including taking advanced designs from initial concept through scale production.

Significant experience using 3D CAD, preferably NX - including 2D drawings and simulations.

Experience designing motion control systems with sensors, actuators and complex mechanisms.

A working knowledge of ASME and ISO drafting standards including GD&T, (Y14.5-2009).

A working knowledge of failure avoidance methods including DFMEA/PFMEA and fault tree analysis.

Able to work with customers and contract manufacturers.

Able to manage multiple projects and engineering teams concurrently.

High level of technical writing proficiency (specs, test plans, reports, white papers, etc.).

Familiarity with electrical design and integration (cable harnesses, wiring diagrams) is a plus.

Have worked in mid-to-large sized teams (5-20 people) and mentored junior engineers to build production-grade systems.

Personal Qualifications:

Proven ability to work in a high-paced startup environment

Curiosity, tenacity, and perseverance to ensure on-time and high-quality deliverables, with a willingness to challenge the status quo and drive improvements.

Attention to detail in the context of general engineering, testing, and debugging
