Position Responsibilities

  • Develop and review mechanical product designs to ensure compliance with engineering principles, company standards, customer requirements, and applicable specifications.

  • Create, update, and maintain 3D CAD models and drawings, primarily in Creo, and support CAD/CAE activities across the product lifecycle.

  • Design plastic injection molded components, applying solid knowledge of materials, draft, wall thickness, DFM, and manufacturability, including preliminary tooling considerations.

  • Apply independent design thinking to generate new concepts, especially for innovative sensing solutions such as Hall-effect and sealed electromechanical assemblies.

  • Contribute to IP-rated enclosure design (e.g., IP65, IP67), including sealing interfaces, gasket selection, and robustness of the mechanical architecture.

  • Participate in product development activities, including scheduling, design reviews, prototype builds, risk assessments, and resolution of engineering or test-related issues.

  • Evaluate, document, and release design changes, specifications, and associated drawings within the PLM system.

  • Produce sketches and early design studies to communicate ideas clearly and support concept development.

  • Support and learn from senior engineers, while also taking ownership of smaller independent tasks and sub-modules.

  • Build and test prototypes, perform basic mechanical validation, and participate in root-cause analysis when needed.

  • Occasionally participate in fabrication, installation, or application activities related to mechanical and electromechanical components.

  • Collaborate in cross-functional product teams, working with electrical, RF, manufacturing, sourcing, and quality engineers to ensure complete system integration.

  • Interact with sales, suppliers, and customers as needed, including potential travel to suppliers or manufacturing locations.

  • Perform other related duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

  • 1–2+ years of relevant mechanical design experience, ideally involving plastic parts or electromechanical products.

  • Practical experience in plastic injection molding and an understanding of tooling fundamentals (gates, parting lines, tolerances, DFM feedback).

  • Knowledgeable of Creo. Or experience with equivalent 3D CAD systems and ability to develop and learn Creo within 2–3 months.

  • Ability to create sketches and concept visuals to communicate mechanical ideas or willingness to learn.

  • Strong problem-solving ability and a mindset for independent, idea-driven design.

  • Understanding of ingress protection (IP) design principles (desired but can be expanded on the job).

  • Good interpersonal and communication skills; able to collaborate with cross-functional teams.

  • Willingness and ability to travel occasionally.

  • Proven ability to take initiative, overcome obstacles, and deliver results.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with electromechanical systems, RF and antenna systems, or Hall-effect solutions.

  • Familiarity with product testing (mechanical, environmental, sealing, vibration).

  • Exposure to industrial, automotive, or ruggedized product environments.
