Project Engineer

About the role

As Project Engineer in Canopy's Hong Kong office, you are Canopy's engineering presence in region. You will carry programs from prototype through mass production, working directly with contract manufacturers across Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Xiamen on tooling, sample builds, and validation. You will own the quality side of that work too, defining acceptance criteria, running EVT, DVT, and PVT builds, and holding the line at pre-shipment inspection before product ships. This is a hands-on role for a mechanical engineer who is happiest on a factory floor with a sample in one hand and a drawing in the other, and who wants the quality result to be theirs. You will partner daily with the US design, engineering, and supply chain teams.

Key responsibilities

• Take designs from the US team and make them manufacturable, refining CAD in Onshape to meet tooling, assembly, and cost realities
• Review tooling drawings, flag draft and wall thickness problems before steel is cut, and sit with tooling engineers on gate and ejection decisions
• Plan and run EVT, DVT, and PVT at the factory, from sample quantities and test fixtures through data capture and gate readiness
• Define failure modes before they happen, running FMEA on new programs and building test plans with acceptance criteria that reflect how products actually get used
• Drive root cause analysis at the factory when something fails in the field and qualify the fix
• Build and run PSI protocols with the QC team, setting sampling plans, defect classifications, and criteria that hold a container
• Work directly with contract manufacturers, with roughly half your time on site across Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Xiamen
• Support new supplier qualification and RFQ evaluation as the assortment grows
• Run engineering change requests and notices end to end, from raising the change through qualification and phase-in at the factory
• Keep BOMs, drawings, inspection protocols, and Engineering Decks current so the next person can pick up a program cold

About you

• 5+ years in mechanical engineering and manufacturing for consumer products, including at least one program you personally carried through mass production
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related field
• Real depth in injection mold tooling design and DFM
• Working quality engineering toolkit: FMEA, design of experiments, structured root cause analysis, AQL sampling, and PSI, used on real builds
• Hands-on CAD ability in Onshape, SolidWorks, or similar, enough to modify parts and produce clean drawings
• Extensive experience with plastics, packaging, and consumer electronics, ideally on appliances with pumps, fans, filtration, or water paths
• Fluent technical English plus Cantonese and Mandarin
• Ability to travel roughly 50% of the time to suppliers in and around Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Xiamen
