• Develop detailed engineering drawings with proper geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
• Perform simulations to analyze structural, thermal, and vibration effects under multiple loading scenarios
• Develop mechanical test plans — including qualification plans and acceptance criteria for volume production
• Conduct root cause analyses and implement mitigation strategies throughout the product lifecycle — including design modifications, installation procedures, and maintenance protocols
• Manage relationships with external vendors and manufacturing partners

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design and development of consumer, industrial, or automotive electronics
• Experience developing functional specifications, design validation plans, and functional test procedures
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software (Solid Works, CREO, or similar)
• Understanding of production manufacturing processes (injection molding, die casting, sheet metal)
• Experience writing technical documents, project plans, and progress reports

• Master's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
• Experience leading engineering design projects and interacting with cross-functional teams
• Experience with prototyping techniques to enable test platforms and validate design concepts
