The opportunity
We're looking for mechanical engineers to help develop products from concept through to production. You'll be part of a small, mission-driven team and have significant ownership over decisions. We're growing quickly so there are ample opportunities for career growth.
This role is based out of our San Francisco office 5 days/week, targeting June/July 2027 start.
How you'll contribute
Design, build & test complex electromechanical systems, including plastic, metal, and soft goods components integrating with novel sensors and actuators.
Help drive designs across the entire development lifecycle, including brainstorming, CAD, prototyping, testing, and ramp into high-volume production in Asia.
Collaborate with electrical engineering, industrial design, manufacturing, and product team members to develop products from early stage concepts to mass production.
Perform various testing and analyses to ensure designs meet product goals, including thermal, fluid, and structural analyses.
What you need to succeed
Experience with concept development, feasibility studies, and hands-on prototyping.
Proficiency with 3D modeling (eg. Solidworks, NX, Creo, etc.). Bonus points for simulation experience.
Familiarity with high volume manufacturing processes, DFM, DFA, tolerance analysis, functional dimensioning and GD&T.
Familiarity with root cause analysis, DOE, and quality measuring techniques.
BSME or equivalent. MS preferred.
Willingness and ability to travel to Asia as needed.
Your own Pod - and other great benefits
Every Eight Sleep employee receives the very product that defines our mission: a Pod of their own. If you join us you'll get your own Pod, along with:
