Job Description

As the Mechanical Engineer for Value Engineering, you will own all VAVE activities for our sustaining products. This includes maintaining a pipeline of VAVE projects and driving design for cost, alternative supplier validation, or tooling qualification to reduce production costs of our products. In this highly visible, cross-functional role, you will deliver focused technical validation, drive streamlined project execution, and accelerate the implementation of savings across our product portfolio. Your work will directly improve product margins while ensuring all sustaining-phase changes are introduced safely, reliably, and with the right technical rigor. You will serve as the dedicated technical owner for the full validation lifecycle of sustaining-phase hardware changes — including cost reductions, second sourcing, tariff mitigation, and component optimizations.

Job Responsibility

  • Evaluate proposed design, material, and supplier changes to determine technical risk, validation scope, and ROI
  • Review product CAD and organize teardown efforts to identify new cost down projects
  • Develop clear, efficient validation plans in partnership with Sourcing, Manufacturing, and Design
  • Execute hands-on lab testing and coordinate extended testing with our China Test Lab
  • Analyze test data, lead failure investigations, and deliver decisive, data-driven “go/no-go” recommendations
  • Manage project timelines, cross-functional communication, and stakeholder alignment from kickoff through implementation
  • Review FAI/Cpk data and author ECOs to release validated changes into production
  • Improve the sustaining pipeline by creating lightweight tools, templates, and processes that increase clarity and throughput

Requirements

  • A strong mechanical engineering fundamentals and use first-principles reasoning to understand how design or supplier changes affect performance, reliability, and manufacturability
  • Comfortable evaluating materials, geometries, and components, and can quickly identify the highest-risk areas that need validation
  • Possess hands-on experience running tests—building fixtures, executing experiments, gathering data, and refining setups as needed
  • Rely on data to drive decisions and can translate test results into clear, concise engineering reports that justify a path forward
  • Able to manage multiple projects with tight timelines and know how to prioritize the work that delivers the highest impact
  • Are a strong communicator who can work with cross-functional teams to align Sourcing, Manufacturing, and Design around technical decisions

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with reliability testing or failure analysis
  • Experience working with overseas suppliers or manufacturing partners
  • Background in value engineering or cost-down projects

What we offer

  • Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • Low cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors
  • Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)
  • Tenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)
  • Flexible Out of Office Plan – Take time when you need it
  • Ample on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Healthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats
  • Regular sponsored professional development opportunities
  • Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
  • Unlimited 3D prints
