Interactive Design Engineer - HPIQ

Interactive Design Engineer - HPIQ Description - About The Role As a Product Design Engineer at HP IQ, you’ll work at the intersection of creativity, engineering, and design to develop groundbreaking devices that redefine how people interact with technology. You’ll collaborate closely with industrial designers, hardware engineers, and interaction designers to transform ideas into functional prototypes and production-ready designs. From 3D CAD modeling and hands-on prototyping to engineering analysis and design validation, you’ll help solve complex mechanical challenges and drive designs from early concepts toward production. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of meaningful engineering work while learning from an experienced, multidisciplinary team and contributing to products that push the boundaries of what’s possible. What You Might Do Design mechanical parts, components, and assemblies for new consumer devices using 3D CAD (NX) Create detailed 2D engineering drawings, define specifications and tolerances, and work closely with overseas vendor partners to ensure accuracy and quality Design and run experiments, applying engineering analysis and test results to guide design decisions Evaluate materials, manufacturing processes, and design tradeoffs to develop robust and scalable solutions Work cross-functionally with hardware, software, industrial design, and other engineering teams to bring concepts from ideation through development Conceptualize, design, and build prototypes that quickly validate ideas Participate in design reviews, clearly communicating design decisions, technical analysis, and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences Build, test, troubleshoot, and iterate prototypes to identify issues and improve product performance, reliability, and user experience Work with manufacturing and vendor partners to iterate designs and support the transition from prototype to production Essential Qualifications Recently completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Product Design Engineering, or a related technical field Experience using 3D CAD software (Siemens NX preferred) to design mechanical components and assemblies Hands-on experience building, prototyping, and testing mechanical designs Strong understanding of fundamental mechanical engineering principles Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to apply engineering fundamentals to open-ended design challenges Ability to communicate technical concepts and present work effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary product development environment Preferred Skills Experience developing consumer products through internships, academic projects, research, personal projects, or professional experience Knowledge of a variety of materials and scalable manufacturing processes, such as injection molding, machining, sheet metal, cast
