Mechanical Engineer R&D Product Development

Mechanical Engineer – (R&D New Product Development)

This dynamic, fast‑paced role focuses on developing disruptive technology through product layout, component and subsystem design, prototyping, and scaling to production-ready solutions. The position is part of a core group of design engineers and involves collaborating across teams, geographies, and external partners.

• Lead technical direction for product design, test tools, or assembly tooling, including defining technical metrics, specifications, assigning work, developing milestones, and fostering integration.
• Design components, subsystems, and portions of engineering solutions for mechanical, electrical, optical, and fluidic systems.
• Create designs with CAD and perform product layout and detailed part/assembly design.
• Develop specifications and manage technical interfaces and boundaries between systems and subsystems.
• Plan and execute test and validation methods such as form/fit/function, tolerances, shock and vibration, EMI, safety, reliability, thermal generation, and system power measurements.
• Own components and subsystems through early technology development: conception, prototyping, experimentation, and maturation into production‑ready solutions.
• Support development of assembly tools, methods, and process flows within internal labs and at outsourced partners.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally across teams, geographies, and external/ODM partners to integrate designs.
• Track and resolve technical issues; communicate status, risks, and mitigation plans with cross‑functional partners.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field) with a proven record in product design and analysis.
• Typically 4+ years of product development experience (or equivalent).
• Strong grasp of mechanical engineering principles, analytical and problem‑solving skills, and independent judgment.
• Experience designing electromechanical components, electronic enclosures, mechanical assemblies, structural elements, fluid systems, and/or optical components.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and joining technologies (e.g., injection molding, die casting, sheet metal) and mechanical properties of materials.
• Mechanical and fluid systems analysis using modeling tools (tolerances, stress/strain, thermal calculations).
• Proficiency with CAD software; proficiency with CoCreate/One Space Designer is highly valued.
• Experience with Design for Manufacturability and high‑volume manufacturing methods, and design for reliability.
• Knowledge of microfluidics, FAB processes, final assembly methods, and phase‑gate product development processes is highly valued for certain assignments.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams and external/ODM partners across organizations and geographies; willingness to travel as needed.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain technical concepts, tradeoffs, and status to partners and senior stakeholders.
• Growth mindset, creativity, and comfort operating in a start‑up‑like environment within a larger organization; mentorship opportunities may be available.

Pay range: $93,400 to $182,400 USD annually. Bonus and/or equity may also be available (United States only). Travel requirement: 25% and relocation is possible.

• Health insurance, dental insurance, and vision insurance
• Long‑term and short‑term disability insurance
• Employee assistance program
• Flexible spending account
• Life insurance
• Generous time‑off policies, including 4‑12 weeks fully paid parental leave based on tenure and 11 paid holidays
• Additional flexible paid vacation and sick leave
