lead root cause analysis - Balance comfort, fit, durability, and cosmetics with Industrial Design for a product people wear all day - Support engineering builds at our manufacturing partners, including on-site factory support - Document designs and decisions clearly, and help shape how our hardware team works   ## **Qualifications**   - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field - 7+ years of mechanical design experience in consumer electronics - Shipped at least one high-volume consumer electronics product through EVT → DVT → PVT → MP - Strong 3D CAD skills (e.g., OnShape, Creo, or SolidWorks) and 2D drawings with GD&T - Hands-on experience with tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, and plastic and metal part design - Solid knowledge of materials and high-volume manufacturing processes - Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers - Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments - Must have ability to travel internationally   ## **Nice to Have**   - Experience shipping wearables (rings, watches, earbuds, fitness trackers, or similar) - Experience with miniaturized assemblies, waterproofing, and small-battery or wireless-charging integration - Experience designing for human factors, fit, and comfort across a range of body sizes - Experience with highly cosmetic parts and surface finishes (e.g., PVD, anodizing, polishing, coatings) - Experience at an early-stage startup **FTE Benefits** - Health, vision, and dental benefits - Company-sponsored 401(k) - Unlimited PTO and sick time - Early stage equity ## Skills - Batteries - Balance Sheet - Anodising Process - Technical Support - Human Factors - Antenna Design - PTC Creo Parametric - SolidWorks - Design for Assembly - Mechanical Design - Fatigue (Material) - Industrial Design - Design for Manufacturing (Dfm) - Root Cause Analysis - High Volume Manufacturing - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (Gd&t) - Mechanical Part Design - Contract Manufacturing - Injection Molding - Sensor Systems - Cosmetics - Computer-Aided Design - Kubernetes Ingress - Polishing - Waterproofing - 2D Drafting - Communication - Tolerance Stack-Up - Computer Numerical Control (Cnc) - Metal Stamping - Physical Vapor Deposition - OnShape - Reliability Testing ## Benefits - Health Insurance - Dental Insurance - Vision Insurance - Paid Time Off (Pto) - Sick Leave - 401(k) Plans ## Related - [Engineering jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/engineering?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Mechanical & Related Engineering jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/engineering/mechanical-and-related-engineering?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Mechanical Engineer jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/engineering/mechanical-and-related-engineering/mechanical-engineer?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) ## Explore this job market - [New York](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/new-york?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 150107 jobs - [New York, NY](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/new-york/new-york?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 66067 jobs - [Computer Hardware](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/technology/computer-hardware?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 22574 jobs ## Related pages - [New York](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/new-york?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 150107 jobs - [New York, NY](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/new-york/new-york?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 66067 jobs - [Computer Hardware](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/technology/computer-hardware?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 22574 jobs ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown)
