Mechanical Design Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California, +5 more states.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the comprehensive mechanical design for designated products, assemblies, and subsystems from initial concept to production release.

• Create production-ready 3D CAD models, assemblies, drawings, tolerance schemes, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).

• Establish and uphold controlled mechanical design outputs and manage engineering changes.

• Design structural elements, including brackets, enclosures, panels, mechanisms, equipment mounts, fluid-system packaging, cable-management features, and user-interface components.

• Develop mechanical solutions for hydrogen generation and delivery, user controls, sensing systems, service access, user accommodation, and accessory hardware.

• Integrate electrical, firmware-controlled, optical, audio, sensing, and fluid subsystems within the mechanical design.

• Convert industrial-design concepts into manufacturable mechanical solutions while maintaining design intent.

• Conduct tolerance analysis, stack-ups, design calculations, material selection, and basic structural analysis.

• Design with a focus on manufacturing, assembly, serviceability, transportation, installation, and field replacement.

• Construct and assess prototypes while supporting swift design iterations.

• Engage in design reviews, Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEAs), verification activities, engineering builds, failure investigations, and corrective actions.

• Collaborate directly with suppliers and contract manufacturers to address design and manufacturing challenges.

• Work in partnership with industrial design, electrical, firmware, suppliers, and manufacturing teams.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proficient in production 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred).

• Familiarity with GD&T and manufacturing drawings.

• Experience in tolerance analysis and stack-ups.

• Knowledge of materials selection and basic structural analysis.

• Understanding of machining, sheet metal, plastics, fabricated structures, fasteners, and adhesives.

• Experience with BOM and engineering change management.

• DFMEA experience is preferred.

• Electromechanical integration experience is a plus.

• Experience with fluid-system packaging preferred.

• Prototype build and test instrumentation experience is desirable.

• Familiarity with producing manufacturing drawings using GD&T.

• Practical knowledge of machining, sheet metal, plastics, fabricated structures, fasteners, adhesives, and assembly processes.

• Proven experience in developing physical products from prototype to production.

• Comfortable working hands-on with prototypes, instrumentation, test equipment, and manufacturing builds.

• Electromechanical product development experience is strongly preferred.

• Experience in consumer, medical, wellness, fitness, laboratory, robotics, or similar integrated hardware is a bonus.

🏝️ Benefits

• Coverage of 80% of health, dental, and vision insurance costs.

• 15,000 equity options vesting over 4 years with a 1-year cliff.

• Opportunity for remote work.
