Mechanical Engineer - Q

Описание

Responsibilities

• Pioneering opto-mechanical designs for precision assemblies, translating ambitious concepts and optical requirements into manufacturable solutions with exacting tolerances
• Owning mechanical integration of optical components, sensors, and PCBs — encompassing fit, alignment, tolerance stack-up, and assembly sequence definition
• Partnering with Manufacturing and Process Engineering from early design stages to ensure concepts are grounded in process capability and scalable to mass production
• Leading FEM analyses across thermal, static, dynamic, and drop-test scenarios for small form factor consumer devices, ensuring structural integrity and durability under real-world conditions
• Conducting failure analysis (FA) to identify root causes and drive corrective design actions to resolution
• Driving end-to-end prototype builds, R&D setups, jigs, and fixtures in close collaboration with Process Engineering
• Defining and executing design verification and validation plans, and translating results into concrete design improvements
• Defining GD&T and collaborating with manufacturing partners to validate producibility, dimensional compliance, and process yield
• Leading design reviews, identifying risks early, and driving cross-functional resolution of complex mechanical challenges

Requirements

• B.Sc. or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline
• 4+ years of industry experience in mechanical design for consumer electronics or precision hardware
• Experience with optical systems design
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (NX preferred)
• Experience in failure analysis (FA) of mechanical and structural components
• Strong command of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and mechanical drawing standards
• Deep familiarity with consumer product manufacturing processes — injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining
• Exceptional problem-solving instincts and the ability to drive complex, ambiguous challenges to resolution
• Strong communication skills and ability to align large, multi-disciplinary teams around bold engineering decisions

Nice to have

• M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field
• Proven FEM analysis experience: thermal, static structural, dynamic, vibration, and drop-testing
• Familiarity with embedded electronics platforms and basic EE integration
• Experience with 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA) for rapid prototyping
• Track record of shipping products to mass production
• 6+ years of industry experience in a relevant field
