Full Job Description
About the Role
We're hiring a Product Design Engineer to help shape the physical form of our AI-powered devices. You'll work across the full product development cycle - concept sketches, CAD modeling, prototyping, and DFM - collaborating with electrical and ML engineers to design enclosures and mechanisms that accommodate complex sensor arrays, thermal systems, and compact compute modules.
Responsibilities
Lead mechanical design of core hardware (enclosures, structural components, flex assemblies, interconnects) from concept to production
Convert industrial design intent into reliable, manufacturable, and precise engineering solutions, maintaining product vision and structural/functional performance
Define and own specifications, tolerances, material selections, and 3D CAD across processes like injection molding, die casting, stamping, and CNC machining
Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) with manufacturing partners from early concept through production builds
Use tolerance analysis, FEA, and DOE's to validate designs and resolve failure modes pre-assembly
Collaborate with Industrial Design, Electrical Engineering, Acoustic Engineering, Reliability & Operations to unify design considerations (functionality, thermal management, human factors, reliability, cost, and aesthetics)
Build functional prototypes in-house and travel to manufacturing facilities to support builds and resolve issues
Requirements
Bachelor's in mechanical or product design engineering (or similar)
7+ years shipping consumer hardware from concept to mass production
Deep fluency in mechanical CAD (NX preferred), strong GD&T, tolerance analysis, dimensional management, and statistical software (JMP)
Comfortable with hands-on prototyping and external partners
Hands-on experience designing for high-volume manufacturing (injection molding, die casting, stamping, CNC machining)
Proven ability to balance mechanical, electrical, and industrial design trade-offs at the system level
Direct experience collaborating with external suppliers and contract manufacturers, including onsite factory support
Comfortable in early-stage product development with ambiguous constraints and open solution space
Bonus Qualifications
Masters in mechanical engineering, product design engineering, mechatronics engineering or similar
Experience in new product architecture & shipping first generation devices in a lead role
Experience with in-field failure analysis
Experience integrating complex sensors including microphones & cameras
Experience integrating displays, audio modules etc.
Compensation
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $120,000 - $300,000 annually.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
