Full Job Description
Product Design Mechanical Engineer

What success looks like

You take early product ideas and turn them into well-resolved, manufacturable hardware across multiple product lines.

Your designs reflect a high level of care. They are reliable in the field, straightforward to install and thoughtfully constructed. Deployment engineers understand them quickly. Internal teams trust them.

You work across disciplines to balance form, function, and feasibility. You catch issues early, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help the team move from concept to production with confidence.

You push for better outcomes, not just acceptable ones. Over time, your work contributes to a more consistent, recognizable, and redefined hardware experience at Meter.

What your day-to-day looks like

You work closely with electrical engineers, industrial engineers, and manufacturing partners to develop new products.

You spend time in CAD, working through mechanical layouts, mounting strategies, and internal architectures across a range of products. You build prototypes, review physical samples, and iterate based on what you learn.

You participate in design reviews, where you bring a clear point of view and incorporate feedback from others. You work directly with manufactures to refine designs for production.

You also connect with teams like deployments and operations to understand how products are installed, shipped, and handled in practice - and you use that context to improve your designs.

Who you are

You care about building hardware that stands the test of time, ready to be deployed in the real world, and expresses form and function to help our customers. This is what makes you the best fit for our team:
  • You have strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and experience working on hardware products
  • You care about every inch of design, form, and shape of the hardware
  • You are passionate about solving customer problems and are not afraid to apply solutions in creative ways
  • You are comfortable in CAD tools such as Creo or OnShape
  • You excel at gathering inputs from various teams and continuously aim to simplify the designs
  • You think about how things are assembled, installed, and used - not just pixels
  • You are curious, detail-oriented, and open to feedback
  • You communicate your ideas clearly and work well across disciplines
  • You enjoy prototyping, testing, and refining designs through interaction


Compensation
  • The estimated base salary for this role is between $145,000 - $250,000
  • Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Meter's equity plan.
