Mechanical Engineer II (NPI)

Responsibilities

• Own critical parts of the next generation Whoop Hardware Products
• Design, prototype, and test complex mechanical components around microelectronics, meeting stringent technical, performance, and industrial design requirements to guide projects from concept through manufacturing release.
• Develop and present multiple design solutions for novel and complex technical challenges, articulating them clearly to cross-functional teams and documenting design process and specifications thoroughly.
• Generate technical documentation such as 3D files, 2D drawings, bills of material (BOM’s), and Engineering Change Orders (ECO’s) following product development cycle timeline
• Communicate engineering requests and changes to vendors and contract manufacturers as the product development cycle progresses 
• Support planning and execution of verification and validation plans, leveraging design of experiments (DOE) methodologies to drive understanding, uncover insights, and deliver actionable results that enhance product quality, performance, and manufacturability.
• Support and perform thorough engineering root cause analyses to identify and resolve issues
• Collaborate with senior engineers to evaluate new technologies and manufacturing methods.
• Up to 20% travel to contract manufacturers and suppliers internationally

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in the design of complex mechanical products, preferably for consumer electronics, wearables, or medical devices.
