Mechanical Engineer (Prototyping & R&D)

We're looking for a curious, hands-on Mechanical Engineer who enjoys bringing new ideas to life. In this role, you'll help design, prototype, test, and improve products as part of a collaborative R&D team. You'll work closely with engineers, designers, and manufacturing partners to turn concepts into working prototypes and ultimately into finished products.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys solving technical challenges, working with 3D printing and rapid prototyping tools, and seeing their ideas become real-world products.

What You'll Do

  • Design mechanical components and assemblies using Autodesk Inventor and related CAD tools.
  • Build, test, and refine prototypes to support new product development efforts.
  • Operate and optimize 3D printing and rapid prototyping equipment to quickly evaluate design concepts.
  • Collaborate with electrical, firmware, industrial design, and manufacturing teams throughout the development process.
  • Create engineering documentation such as drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and test reports.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute ideas to improve product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
  • Help troubleshoot prototype and production-related issues and recommend practical solutions.
  • Support ongoing R&D initiatives, including testing, data collection, and design improvements.
  • Share knowledge and collaborate with team members to strengthen engineering and prototyping processes.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience designing and developing mechanical products, prototypes, or systems.
  • Proficiency with Autodesk Inventor or similar 3D CAD software.
  • Experience with 3D printing, additive manufacturing, or other prototyping tools is preferred.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn through hands-on experimentation.
  • Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Understanding of manufacturing processes and design considerations for production.
  • Familiarity with engineering drawings, tolerances, and documentation practices.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in an R&D or product development environment.
  • Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, or FEA.
  • Hands-on testing or lab experience.
  • Exposure to multiple manufacturing methods and materials.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on innovative products from concept through production.
  • Collaborate with a talented, supportive, and multidisciplinary team.
  • Gain hands-on experience with rapid prototyping and emerging technologies.
  • Enjoy an environment that values creativity, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed above. If you're excited about the opportunity and believe your skills would be a good fit, we'd love to hear from you.
