Mechanical Product Design Engineer

Mechanical Product Design Engineer

Mashgin is seeking a Mechanical Product Design Engineer to join our hardware engineering team. You'll play a key role in developing the next generation of Mashgin kiosks, working from concept to mass production in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

This is a hybrid role that requires you to be onsite at least 2 days a week in San Jose, CA.

• Impact:
  You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your work. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
• Simplicity:
  Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work.
• Hard Work:
  Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what's possible in visual automation.
• Humility:
  No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
• Ruthless Prioritization:
  If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
• Customer Innovation:
  We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won't bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
• Efficiency:
  Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work.

• Developing innovative, manufacturable designs for sheet metal, injection-molded plastics, CNC-machined parts, and electromechanical assemblies
• Creating and managing BOMs (Bill of Materials), engineering documentation, and 2D manufacturing drawings with proper GD&T and revision control
• Collaborating closely with electrical, thermal, and software engineering teams to integrate multi-disciplinary requirements
• Building and iterating on 3D CAD models, tolerance analyses, and detailed drawings using Solid Works
• Driving prototype builds, DFM/DFX reviews, and design validation testing with internal teams and external suppliers
• Working directly with domestic and international manufacturing partners to resolve production issues and improve yields
• Contributing to reliability, thermal, EMI/ESD compliance, and safety testing for high-volume deployments
• Supporting product lifecycle activities, including cost reduction, design revisions, and next-gen architecture exploration
• Traveling internationally on occasion (~10%) to support suppliers, manufacturing builds, and validation testing

• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 4+ years of relevant mechanical design experience, preferably in consumer electronics, kiosks, medical devices, or other high-volume hardware products
• Proficiency in Solid Works (or similar CAD) with strong GD&T and tolerance stack-up skills
• Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication, DFM, and mass production processes
• Familiarity with plastics, sheet metal, die casting, CNC machining, and adhesive joining techniques
• Strong understanding of thermal management, structural integrity, and reliability testing
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment

• Experience with high-volume contract manufacturers and overseas suppliers
• Knowledge of electro-mechanical integration (displays, cameras, sensors, connectors, cables, etc.)
• Exposure to regulatory compliance (EMI/ESD, UL, CE, FCC)
• Experience working with computer vision systems or kiosk-style hardware is a plus
• Mandarin Chinese proficiency is a plus for communicating with some manufacturing partners
• Willingness to travel internationally (~10%) as needed for supplier engagement and production support

• An opportunity to work on a small, multidisciplinary team with the potential to break new ground in many different industries
• Excellent health, dental and vision insurance for you and your…
