Research, design, develop, manufacture, and test wearable devices with a focus on rapid prototyping and device rework/repair.
Design mechanical test fixtures for both subsystem and system‑level characterization and generate testing procedures.
Plan and execute Design of Experiments (DOEs) to evaluate key performance indicators for a wearable product.
Execute mechanical testing to characterize hardware using both standard and custom testing procedures, including 3‑point bend testing for band stiffness and environmental testing.
Analyze test data against hardware specifications and contribute to the development of new KPI specs.
Assist on device failure analysis and conduct root cause investigations.
Provide 2D/3D CAD models of fixture and prototype concepts.
Perform 100% in‑office and lab work in NYC to include prototype assembly, rework, fixture development, and mechanical testing.

Pay range: $50-70/hr

Skills and Requirements

Mechanical design for consumer electronics (NX, Solid Works, or equivalent parametric CAD).

Hands‑on prototyping and fabrication (3D printing, CNC, fixture design, bench‑level assembly and debug).
