What you’ll be doing

• Own hardware design modules and/or programs end to end, from initial concept through shipping and sustaining
• Create design solutions based on first-principles and technical analysis followed by implementation in CAD (Onshape, Creo)
• Communicate and collaborate with key cross-functional team members, including executives and leads
• Create and own 2D documentation for parts, including GD&T, test/reliability instructions and datum schemes
• Conduct regular design reviews, soliciting feedback and building alignment with other team members
• Validate designs through physical prototypes (cardboard, 3D printing and CNC) and reliability, ergonomic and user research testing
• Drive DFM from international partners and ensure designs are both robust and manufacturable
• Continually de-risk programs through engineering analysis and program management
• Raise the bar for mechanical engineering and manufacturing best practices on the team

What’s required

• Demonstrated experience owning hardware on shipped mass-market products, including failure analysis/corrective action ownership
• Exceptional communication and organization skills with ability to clearly articulate and document issues, including excellent presentation/slide skills
• Demonstrated experience designing parts for injection molding and one or more of the following processes: 2D processes (sheet metal stamping, die cut), CNC fabrication, die casting, metal injection molding
• Strong proficiency with CAD (Creo preferred)
• Strong proficiency with creating 2D drawings, including GD&T, linear tolerances, tolerance analysis, IQC/IPQC/OQC inspection procedures and assembly datums
• Experience working in high-pressure, low-information environments requiring successful risk judgement, strong decision making skills and personal resiliency
• Comfortable taking constructive feedback and improving performance at a dynamic and rapidly growing company
• Able to work autonomously with strong commitment to ownership over tasks and prototypes, including accountability as a Directly Responsible Individual (DRI)
• Ability to generate bursts of high-intensity output when needed
• This role requires up to 25% international travel

What’s ideal

• Leadership role on multiple shipped mass-market products (1M+ units per year)
• Proficiency in statistical process control and other quality tools; experience with Tableau, JMP, Excel
• Experience with electrical and/or mechanical test rigs; experience designing mass production manufacturing jigs
• Previous experience working on both small (startup) and large (big tech) teams
• Previous experience directly working with overseas/APO CM and parts vendors
• Interest in learning new hardware/software skills with goal of continuous growth
• Desire to build cross-functional team relationships and continuously improve communication, development and analysis processes
• Experience with model construction and prototyping, including SLS, SLA and FDM 3D printing
• Interest or experience in gaming industry, especially handhelds
• BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
