Senior Mechanical Engineer

Who you are

• We're looking for a creative problem solver with an intuitive grasp of physics and engineering fundamentals — someone equally at home hacking together a prototype in the lab or analyzing test results, and drawn to the tough engineering problems that come with being first to market
• This is a hands-on job for a curious, creative engineer who wants to stretch a wide range of talents and make a high-performing team stronger
• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering
• 5+ years in design and development
• A track record of turning enabling technologies into innovative products on the market
• Strong analytical skills, a methodical mindset, sharp attention to detail, and a relentless drive to find potential problems and own their resolution
• Prototyping skill: 3D printing, machining, hand tools, and building accurate, robust assemblies
• Lab experience running controlled experiments on things you designed and built, using a range of test equipment and instrumentation
• CAD proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo
• Organization, plus Excel, Minitab, or MATLAB (or similar) to turn test data into learnings
• Clear communication — explaining working principles, translating data into design implications, and making recommendations to technical and non-technical colleagues alike
• Genuine enjoyment of building meaningful professional relationships with colleagues
• Because the work is hands-on and team-based, this role is in person at our Needham, MA office
• Understanding of thermodynamics
• Experience designing and executing experimental test plans to guide design decisions
• Comfort multitasking and shifting priorities quickly without losing sight of long-term goals
• Applied engineering experience at a consumer products or consulting company
• Experience with analog/digital electronics, related test equipment, and small-appliance components — sensors, motors, heaters, PCBAs

What the job involves

• Design and develop consumer products from first concept through ongoing product support, inside our global development organization
• Work daily with Engineering and Product Development to rapidly build understanding of systems, performance levers, and tradeoffs
• Pull in teammates from other disciplines to brainstorm, solve problems, build proof-of-concept prototypes, and test them thoroughly
• Guide and work closely with a team of mechanical engineers, including co-ops and interns
• See your team's work come to life on store shelves, online, and in infomercials
