Responsibilities
Lead design of mechanical systems, mechanisms, enclosures, and assemblies from concept through manufacturing transfer, aligned with the company's quality system and regulated environment
Apply strong consumer-product engineering practices: tolerance analysis, snap fits, hinge mechanisms, seals, living hinges, latching systems, fluid-handling components, and motorized/mechatronics integration
Own mechanical architecture for assigned subsystems, using SolidWorks (or equivalent) for advanced CAD, surfacing, GD&T, and parametric modeling
Perform engineering analyses (hand calculations, FEA, CFD) to guide design decisions, predict performance, and optimize reliability/safety
Rapidly prototype components using 3D printing, machining, urethane casting, or soft tooling to evaluate form, fit, and function
Plan and execute testing for durability, environmental robustness, material interaction, fatigue, drop testing, and manufacturability—similar to consumer product validation cycles
Use structured root-cause analysis to resolve mechanical failures and drive continuous improvement
Work collaboratively with electrical, firmware, industrial design, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to ensure cohesive product integration
Incorporate ergonomics, human factors, and serviceability considerations into mechanical design decisions to improve the user experience
Support phase-gate reviews, design controls, documentation, and design history file (DHF) requirements for regulated devices
Develop components for injection molding, die casting, stamping, machining, and other high-volume consumer-product processes
Support factory builds, qualification runs, and process validation activities
Provide mentorship to junior mechanical engineers and guide design best practices, modeling standards, and development methodology
