The System Design Engineer designs and engineers complex electromechanical devices. This role requires a passion for technology product development, particularly in consumer electronics, and experience collaborating with cross-disciplinary engineering teams. The ideal candidate understands human-centered design and brings strong technical problem-solving, communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills. They should also be high-energy, self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Responsibilities:
Mechanical Design & Development
- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for including wearable IoT devices, manufacturing equipment, and more using SolidWorks
- Support hardware design from concept and prototyping through design-for-manufacture, with an eye toward size, weight, and performance constraints
- Isolate and iterate on component/feature designs with a constant eye toward system integration
- Conduct analyses including mechanical (e.g. stress and tolerance stack-up) and design risks (e.g. failure modes),
- Work with rapid prototyping (3D printing, CNC) and manual fabrication to iterate on designs quickly
- Create and maintain engineering drawings, and BOM updates
System Integration & Testing
- Support integration of mechanical, electrical, and firmware subsystems into cohesive products
- Assist in developing and executing verification and validation test plans and procedures
- Collect, analyze, and document test data against functional and performance specifications
- Identify and troubleshoot mechanical and system-level issues during bring-up and field testing
- Develop and execute verification and validation test plans covering functional, environmental, and durability requirements
Data Collection
- Design and execute structured data collection protocols in lab and field environments
- Set up and operate data acquisition systems (DAQ, oscilloscope, serial logging) to capture outputs across test conditions
- Analyze and interpret collected datasets to assess system performance, identify anomalies, and support design decisions
Documentation & Process
- Maintain complete and current project documentation in accordance with Simbex's Quality Management System
- Prepare engineering analyses and present findings to cross-functional teams
- Lead and support design reviews for production releases
Required Qualifications:
- BS in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or closely related field
- Proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assemblies, and engineering drawings
- Understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis and design-for-manufacture principles
- Hands-on prototyping experience: 3D printing, manual machining, and other fabrication methods
- Analog and digital signal acquisition and measurement experience
- Electrical fundamentals including wiring and simple schematic interpretation
- Familiarity with verification and validation processes, test plan development, and documentation
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to cross-functional teams
- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with wearable, consumer electronics, or medical device product development
- Exposure to IoT hardware: enclosure design for PCBs, connectors and cable routing
- Familiarity with Agile and stage-gate product development processes
- SQL and Python script proficiency and understanding
