  • Product Development Cycle: Drive projects from early concept through prototyping, validation, and mass production, supporting manufacturing partners worldwide
  • Technical Leadership: Provide technical direction, mentor junior engineers, and influence program strategy and execution
  • Innovation: Push state-of-the-art technologies and approaches to solve complex mechanical problems in consumer electronics, robotics, infrastructure, and research
  • Documentation & Communication: Generate and manage technical documentation, specifications, and clear communication across teams and stakeholders
  • Travel: Support manufacturing and development activities with travel to external vendors and partners as needed

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent industry experience)
  • 6+ years of industry experience in mechanical design, including shipping high-volume commercial products or complex electromechanical assemblies
  • Proficiency in 3D/2D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, Creo)
  • Experience in Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), statistical tolerance analysis, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
  • Working knowledge of material properties (plastics, metals, adhesives, glass, PCBA, flex circuits, etc.)
  • Experience with high-volume manufacturing techniques (stamping, machining, injection molding, die casting, etc.)
  • Testing and analysis experience (FEA, Simulation, Design of Experiments, etc.)

Nice to have

  • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering or related field (or equivalent industry experience)
  • 3+ years of specific industry experience in Opto-mechanical design, including shipping high-volume commercial products or complex opto-mechanical assemblies
  • Experience in Camera Module design and managing/delivering camera module structure and packaging from concept to production
  • Experience in designing miniaturized camera modules in wearable devices
  • Experience with consumer electronics camera and depth module design at leading tech companies
  • Familiar with Active Alignment (AA) process for camera module assembly
  • Proficiency in using NX software for creating 2D and 3D MCOs
  • Basic structural and thermal Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
  • Familiarity with optical simulation and ray tracing software (e.g., Zemax, Code V, LightTools) is a definite plus
