About the role

Responsibilities

  • Architect and design complex electromechanical systems, including plastic, metal, and soft goods components integrated with novel sensors and actuators.
  • Drive designs across the entire development lifecycle, including brainstorming, CAD, prototyping, testing, and ramp into production in Asia.
  • Shape the direction of our products and features by collaborating with industrial design, marketing, and product teams as well as company leadership.
  • Solve highly cross-functional problems by working with electrical, software, reliability, and manufacturing engineering teams.
  • Perform analysis and testing to ensure designs meet product goals, including thermal, fluid, and structural analysis.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of consumer product design experience with knowledge of injection molding, sheet metal forming, and sensor/electronics integration.
  • Track record of shipping high-volume consumer products, including manufacturing support in Asia. Willingness and ability to travel to China as needed.
  • Highly proficient with 3D modeling and simulation tools (e.g. Solidworks, NX, Creo).
  • Experience with high-volume manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), tolerance analysis, functional dimensioning and geometric tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Solid understanding of root cause analysis, DOEs, and other quality measuring techniques.
  • BSME or equivalent. MS preferred.
