Your Role

Mechanical Engineers at frog deliver innovative design solutions for our clients. These responsibilities cover all phases of product development, from brainstorming and evaluating product concepts through designing for manufacturability and ensuring that products reflect the design intent through production. This role requires attention to the big picture and the details that make a difference.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you are expected to represent depth in the craft of engineering: as an individual contributor, as a mentor and guide for more junior colleagues, and as a contributor to the global community of practice. You will often be the backbone of your projects from beginning to end. You will plan, prioritise, and deliver mechanical engineering activities autonomously, in the context of interdisciplinary projects. You will lead client conversations within your domain, providing articulate recommendations and framing product trade-offs to guide client choices. You will have opportunities to lead small teams on projects and contribute to business development through proposal-writing and pitches.

Your fellow frogs will rely on you for:

• Understanding – the ability to fully engineer a product from idea to production and furthermore be able to evaluate and communicate conflicting project requirements that are beyond those related directly to the mechanical design
• Innovation – effective problem solving, bringing lateral thinking and novel solutions to address whatever challenge may arise, even if they increase your own responsibilities
• Perspective – working smart by balancing numerous constraints and driving to the best and most appropriate design for the client, system, and full context
• Communication and collaboration – with frogs, clients, suppliers, and others
• Execution – strong performance of core engineering tasks, such as 3D CAD modeling, analysis, and documentation

Your Skills + Experience

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or similar
• Experience and knowledge of mechanical design and documentation with 5+ years primarily in consumer electronics and similar products
• Advanced solid and surface modeling skills with 3D software (SolidWorks preferred)
• Experience collaborating in multifunctional teams as the mechanical design lead
• Experience and knowledge of requirements and design constraints for common manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, machining, and casting
• Experience and knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) for both high and low volume products
• Ability to prepare and manage vendor-ready documentation packages, including 3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, and assembly instructions
• Experience and knowledge of prototyping techniques (3D printing, casting, rapid tooling, etc.)
• Hands-on electronics and firmware prototyping skills leveraging off-the-shelf hobbyist components, dev kits, etc.

Nice to Have:

• Experience working across diverse environments, including startups, corporate organizations, and consulting firms.
• Exposure to product qualification, regulatory compliance, and quality management standards.
• Experience with advanced mechanical design, engineering analysis, and reliability methodologies.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes, supplier collaboration, and product commercialization activities.
• Knowledge of electronic enclosure design, thermal management, and electromechanical system integration.
• Academic, professional, or life experiences outside of engineering that bring unique perspectives and innovative problem-solving approaches.
