Product Design Engineer

Goer Tek is hiring a Product Design Engineer in our Santa Clara office to bring consumer electronics products from concept through mass production. You'll partner directly with our customers' engineering teams and drive cross-functional work internally to meet product specifications on schedule.

This role sits at the center of the conversation. You'll translate between engineering groups and non-technical stakeholders, apply your technical judgment to unblock issues as they surface during development, and review technical work across the project.

You’ll work within a project-based team structure in a matrix organization, with your time shared across multiple concurrent projects.

• Work with our China team to develop design proposals that solve the customer's problem and demonstrate Goer Tek's design capability, then present them to the customer.
• Respond quickly to customer design questions and keep communication flowing between the customer and our China R&D team.
• Take on technical requests from either the China team or the customer as projects require.

• Join projects as the PD engineer, creating and reviewing 3D databases and drawings in Pro/E (Creo) to customer specification.
• Run design reviews with the customer and China PD team covering dimensional tolerance analysis, basic FEA, DFM, and manufacturing assembly flow and fixturing.
• Travel to our China sites to support builds and failure analysis.
• Partner with the U.S. and China sales teams to open new opportunities, resolving customers' technical questions and showcasing Goer Tek's R&D strength.

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years designing consumer electronics — wearables, audio, eyewear, drones, or similar.
• Hands-on experience with metal stamping, plastic injection molding, and a range of surface treatments, plus solid familiarity with common materials.
• A track record across the full design and development cycle for consumer electronics.
• Proficiency with Pro/E (Creo) and UG (NX).
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
• Clear communicator who works well on a team.
• Fluent in conversational Mandarin is highly desired.
• Travel at our HQ or customers’ request
• The base pay range for this role is between $ to $ annually and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
