About the role
What You'll Do
Lead mechanical design of consumer-facing hardware products from concept through mass production
Create and own high-quality Class-A surface models and detailed CAD assemblies
Collaborate with industrial designers to translate visual intent into manufacturable geometry — without losing any of the soul
Drive DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) reviews with contract manufacturers
Define tolerances, GD&T, and material/finish specifications to achieve premium fit and finish
Manage prototyping cycles — from early foam models to functional EVT/DVT/PVT builds
Work cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, and operations teams to resolve integration challenges
Maintain clean, well-documented CAD libraries and release packages
What We're Looking For
4+ years of mechanical design experience, with at least 2 years in consumer electronics
Expert-level proficiency in Fusion 360, SOLIDWORKS, or NX — with demonstrated mastery of surfacing / Class-A modeling
Deep hands-on knowledge of CNC machining, injection molding, and 3D printing — you understand the constraints of each process and design to them instinctively
Genuine passion for product aesthetics — you can articulate why a radius is wrong and fix it
Strong understanding of plastics (injection molding, insert molding), sheet metal, and finishing processes (CMF)
Hands-on experience with tolerance stack-up analysis and GD&T
Comfortable owning the full NPI process alongside CM/ODM partners
Portfolio that shows beautiful, well-resolved products — we will ask to see it
Bonus Points
Experience with wearables, robotics, or complex electromechanical assemblies
Background in ID (industrial design) or formal training in product design
Familiarity with soft goods, overmolding, or multi-material assemblies
Experience presenting design rationale to non-technical stakeholders
Proficiency in Onshape for cloud-based collaborative CAD workflows
Build and own automated test rigs and CI/CD-integrated frameworks for Sesame's Cypress wearable AI hardware. Design stress, throughput, long-duration audio, and battery tests; create performance dashboards that gate releases. Requires embedded test automation experience, Bluetooth/wireless expertise, and Python scripting in a fast-moving early-stage environment.
