  • Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes for product designs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electronics engineers and product managers, through virtual communication channels.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation, including BOMs and design specifications.
  • Support prototype builds and testing, troubleshooting design issues as they arise.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in mechanical design and product development.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, CATIA) and simulation tools.
  • Strong understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) principles.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work autonomously.
  • Effective communication skills for remote collaboration and documentation.
Benefits
  • Competitive annual salary and performance-based bonuses.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
