## Job Description

## Responsibilities

### Industrial design
- Lead ideation and concept development through hand sketching, digital sketching, and physical foam or 3D-printed models.
- Define the visual and tactile design language for Terminal hardware, including proportion, form, surface transitions, button feel, and product character.
- Produce photorealistic product renders using KeyShot or similar tools.
- Define and manage color, material, and finish (CMF) specifications with suppliers.
- Manage packaging design and qualify final deliverables and the unboxing experience.
- Apply ergonomics and human factors principles to create intuitive, comfortable products.
- Maintain visual consistency and brand coherence across the Terminal hardware family.

### Mechanical engineering
- Design mechanical components and assemblies using Creo or SolidWorks.
- Create mechanical designs and drawings, assess manufacturability, and resolve technical problems.
- Lead tolerance analysis, computer-aided engineering (CAE), finite element method (FEM) simulations, design of experiments (DOE), and physical prototyping.
- Analyze and verify mechanical designs, identify risks, and propose mitigations.
- Manage bill of materials (BOM) cost and mechanical design schedules.
- Prepare BOMs, component specifications, and support failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) activities.
- Review design fixtures and calibration processes for high-precision mechanical assemblies.
- Verify and qualify components during first-article builds and participate in pilot production.
- Produce engineering specifications, design-for-excellence (DFx) guidelines, technical reports, and gate-review packages.
- Partner with Quality and Reliability teams on validation and hardware durability.
- Support PCI and regulatory compliance and certification activities.

## Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a closely related field.
- 8+ years of hands-on product design experience spanning mechanical engineering and industrial design.
- Portfolio of consumer or commercial hardware products, including consumer-grade plastic enclosures for handheld products from concept through mass production.
- Ability to communicate design concepts through hand or digital sketching and define CMF specifications with suppliers.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing and mechanical production processes, including DFM, tooling, and production.
- Proficiency with mechanical CAD software; Creo is required and SolidWorks is a plus.
- Expertise in detailed 2D drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and tolerance analysis.
- Familiarity with mold design, first-article inspection (FAI), process capability (Cpk) analysis, and supplier and factory relationships.
- Strong written and spoken English and Mandarin communication skills.
- Willingness to travel internationally, including to Hong Kong and mainland China.

## Nice-to-haves
- KeyShot, VRED, or Blender.
- Experience maintaining design language across a multi-SKU hardware family or accessory ecosystem.
- Ergonomics methodologies, grip studies, anthropometric data, and usability evaluations for handheld devices.
- Point-of-sale hardware, payment terminals, or consumer electronics peripherals.
- PCI hardware requirements, material properties, and associated manufacturing processes.
- Thermal calculations and plastic material properties.
- Mechanical simulation tools and metal-part design.
- Presenting design rationales to cross-functional and executive audiences.
