Job Description

Join our team as a Mechanical Design Engineer, where you'll be responsible for designing parts and sub-assemblies from concept to high volume production. You'll have the opportunity to see your work in the field within months and gain valuable experience in a fast-paced startup environment.

  • Concevoir des pièces et des sous-ensembles, les mener à la production de masse et assurer leur performance.
  • Construire des prototypes, les tester, les améliorer rapidement et exécuter des plans de test accélérés.
  • Collaborer avec les fournisseurs et les fabricants pour obtenir des retours sur la conception, examiner les outils et inspecter les premiers articles.
  • What we look for: Parts you personally designed that are in production today, and you can explain every feature and why it's there
  • Fluency in at least one high volume process (injection molding, die casting, stamping, or metal injection molding) at the level of gate placement, draft, knit lines, sink, and warp, not just textbook definitions
  • Working experience with PDM/PLM, ECOs, and quality systems
  • Comfort in a fast-paced startup where the answer is often "go build it and find out"
  • A debugging instinct: given a part failing in the field, you can reason from the failure mode back to the design decision that caused it
  • GD&T you actually apply on drawings, not GD&T you recognize on someone else's
  • Tolerance stack-ups you've run on assemblies you owned, including how you chose the datum scheme and what you did when the stack didn't close
  • FEA used to make a decision, with an understanding of where the model stops being trustworthy
  • Solidworks proficiency deep enough that CAD is never the bottleneck
  • A technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent. Most people ready for this role have around 2+ years of professional design experience, but if you can demonstrate the above with less, apply anyway
  • You are passionate about learning outside your normal comfort zones
  • You love diagnosing complex technical issues
  • You take pride in details nobody else would notice
  • You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
