Role Description

We are looking for a Lead Mechanical / Mechatronics Engineer to help design and deliver electromechanical hardware systems for our clients. This role is mechanical engineering–focused and centers on the mechanical design of products that integrate electronics, sensors, and embedded hardware.

• Work directly with client teams to develop hardware products from early concept through prototyping and manufacturing.
• Successful candidates are mechanical product engineers who are comfortable working around electronics and embedded hardware, and who enjoy building real hardware systems.
• This role requires a strong combination of:
  • mechanical design
  • electromechanical system integration
  • hands-on hardware prototyping
  • design for manufacturing
  • technical leadership
• Collaborate closely with electrical engineers, firmware engineers, and product teams to bring hardware systems to life.

Qualifications

• Previous experience designing and testing electro-mechanical systems.
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) practices for electrical and mechanical.
• Exposure to hardware systems involving:
  • Microprocessors, microcontrollers, IoT communications protocols, and common sensors
  • Hardware prototyping tools (3D printers, soldering, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, etc)
  • Low-level embedded firmware or embedded Linux
  • Data collection techniques

Requirements

• Education: BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering or Robotics Engineering
• Experience:
  • 5+ years of professional experience designing and delivering physical mechanical or electromechanical products from concept through prototyping and into manufacturing.
  • Strong experience using 3D MCAD tools (such as SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, NX, Fusion 360, or similar).
  • Designing mechanical assemblies that integrate electronics such as PCBs, sensors, cameras, motors, or embedded hardware.
  • Mechanical design of housings, structures, or assemblies for electromechanical systems.
  • Hands-on hardware prototyping and testing.
  • Experience building and iterating on physical prototypes.
  • Design for Manufacturing experience including machining, injection molding, sheet metal, or similar processes.
  • Working closely with electrical engineers to integrate electronics into mechanical systems.
  • Experience supporting prototype builds and manufacturing ramp.
  • Experience leading or owning hardware system development.
• Technical Skills:
  • Required: Strong 3D MCAD experience, Mechanical design of complex assemblies, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Mechanical prototyping and testing, Hardware product development.
  • Nice-to-have: Experience working with embedded systems or sensors, Familiarity with electronics hardware and PCB assemblies, Experience working with robotics or IoT devices, Experience with hardware lab tools and prototyping equipment.
• Non-technical Skills:
  • Communicates Effectively: Demonstrates expert level communication skills.
  • Independently resets the tone of the team or environment.
  • Teaches best practices and grows the capabilities of others.
  • Estimates are highly accurate across a wide array of technical domains.
  • Demonstrates mastery of working within an agile framework.

Benefits

• 401k match
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• $200/mo cell/internet stipend
• $600/yr home office equipment stipend
• Paid parental leave (95th percentile in the U.S.)
• Continuing education stipend ($2,500/yr after one year)
• Loaned MacBook Pro and other necessary equipment

Compensation

• Base Compensation: Between USD $120,000 and $150,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
• Variable Compensation: Up to 15% in the first year.

This Role Is Likely NOT a Fit If

• Your primary background is electrical engineering, embedded firmware development, or robotics research without significant mechanical product design experience.
