Required Experience:

• Education: BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or similar.

• Experience: 5+ years of mechanical design for electronics or industrial products.

• Technical Skills : Proficient in 3D CAD, simulation, mechanical assemblies, 2D drawings, and GD&T.

• Manufacturing (DFM): Design for injection-molded plastics, sheet metal, die casting, extrusions, tooling, material selection, assembly efficiency, cost, quality, and scalability.

• Design Focus : E lectronic enclosures, mounting systems, thermal management (heat sinks, airflow, heating elements, simulation), and environmental protection (IP-rated sealing, gasketing, weatherproofing).

• Project Lifecycle: Experience driving mechanical designs through the full lifecycle, from concept to production.

• Testing & Analysis: Hands-on prototyping, mechanical assembly, physical testing, and failure analysis.

• Core Attributes: Strong ownership, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Desired Experience:

• Se lf-Leadership: Owning product development projects from concept to release.

• Reliability & Stress Testing : Fixturing, pull testing, drop testing, environmental/thermal validation, and build-issue resolution.

• Design Compliance: Experience with shock, vibration, mounting systems, and regulatory standards (CE, UL, IP, etc.).

• Product Release: Manufacturing release support and driving manufacturability improvements.
