Mechanical Design Engineer - Audio

Job Description

Job Responsibilities

• Partner with audio engineers to define system architecture and develop mechanical implementations 

• Optimize audio components for acoustic performance, integration, size, mass, and ease of assembly 

• Lead hands-on modeling and design of mechanical components and assemblies, including plastic, sheet metal, and die-cast parts 

• Conduct mechanical design analyses: structural, tolerance stack-ups, FEA, and design for assembly (DFA) 

• Create detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and documentation using CATIA 

• Support prototype builds, component fabrication, testing, and validation efforts 

• Develop engineering and reliability test plans, analyze test data, and troubleshoot design issues 

• Partner with suppliers on DFM feedback and support tooling development and assembly bring-up 

• Guide designs from prototype through production and deployment 

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience 

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design

• Proficiency in CAD software (3DX CATIA preferred) 

• Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes 

• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools (ANSYS preferred) 

• Track record of taking designs from concept through mass production 

• Basic understanding of electrical and thermal design fundamentals, including PCBAs and electronics packaging 

• Strong first-principles problem-solving skills (stress-strain analysis, thermal management, tolerance optimization, cost and mass reduction) 

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills 

• Comfort working across regions, including occasional international travel
