Who you are

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field
• 3+ years of hands-on mechanical product design experience
• Proficiency in mechanical CAD; SolidWorks experience is preferred
• Experience designing complex electromechanical systems, assemblies, enclosures, or mechanical packaging
• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including materials, tolerances, GD&T, and structural and/or thermal design
• Experience taking hardware through prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and design iteration
• Highly motivated teammate with excellent oral and written communication skills
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic startup environment as part of a small team
• Willing to occasionally travel
• Due to the scope and responsibilities of this role, candidates must meet all U.S. person status requirements at the time of hire and maintain such status throughout their employment
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design
• Experience designing rugged industrial equipment, robotics, material-handling equipment, outdoor electromechanical systems, or other complex electromechanical products
• Experience with environmental sealing, ingress protection, thermal management, or environmental validation such as temperature, shock, vibration, or thermal cycling
• Experience with FEA, CFD, or other engineering analysis tools
• Experience designing hardware for hazardous locations, explosion-protected equipment, or other highly regulated industrial environments
