Hybrid
Lead/Staff
$160K/yr - $210K/yr
8+ years expLogitech is a company focused on positive global impact and flexibility in work. They are seeking a Principal Mechanical Engineer to lead the Video Collaboration product development team, driving architecture decisions and resolving complex challenges to deliver world-class products.
Consumer Electronics
Responsibilities
Drive mechanical architecture decisions for complex, highly integrated products. Balancing thermal, optical, acoustic, and structural requirements against cost, schedule, and manufacturability
Partner with regional engineering leadership to drive execution, and elevate overall mechanical engineering capability
Own system-level problem solving, identifying issues early, driving root cause analysis, and making crisp decisions that keep programs moving forward
Collaborate directly with Industrial Design and Product Management to translate product vision into manufacturable mechanical solutions
Work hands-on with Asia-based manufacturing partners and suppliers on DFM/DFT, tooling development, pilot builds, and production ramp
Bridge time zones and cultures, communicating effectively across US and Asia teams, building relationships, and driving alignment
Provide technical guidance across mechanical, thermal, and optical domains. You don't need to be the deepest expert in everything, but you need to know enough to ask the right questions and guide the team
Represent mechanical engineering in cross-functional forums: phase gates, design reviews, and executive updates with clarity and confidence
Qualification
Required
8-12+ years of mechanical engineering experience in high-volume electronics product development
Demonstrated ability to operate at the system/architecture level, not just component design. Understanding how mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, and acoustic subsystems interact
Track record of making decisions and driving cross-functional alignment in ambiguous situations. You're the person who breaks logjams, not creates them
Deep familiarity with plastics, metals, and fabric design. Including injection molding, tooling, die casting, sheet metal, and cosmetic finishing processes
Working knowledge of mechanism design. Hinges, actuators, PTZ systems, or similar precision mechanisms
Experience working directly with Asia-based (Taiwan, China) contract manufacturers and suppliers through development and production
Familiarity with adjacent disciplines, enough EE knowledge to have productive conversations about PCB layout constraints, enough thermal knowledge to guide heat dissipation strategies, enough optical knowledge to understand lens/sensor integration challenges
Proficiency with Pro/E (Creo), SolidWorks, or equivalent 3D CAD. You're not the primary CAD operator, but you can dive in when needed
Strong communication skills: you can explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and advocate effectively for your team's position
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. A master's degree is a plus
Preferred
Experience with thermal management in constrained enclosures: passive cooling, heat pipes, thermal interface materials
Experience with optical system integration: lens assemblies, image sensor mounting, optical alignment
Background in video conferencing, cameras, audio products, or similar AV devices
Experience mentoring or leading engineering teams, even without direct reports
Mandarin language skills (helpful but not required)
Benefits
Comprehensive and competitive benefits packages
Flexible working environments
Support for good physical, financial, emotional, intellectual and social wellbeing
