Job description: We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys building real hardware and owning designs from first concept through production. This role is hands-on and execution-focused, involving mechanical design, CAD, prototyping, testing, and production handoff. You will work on open-ended engineering problems where requirements evolve and tradeoffs matter. The work requires comfort moving between analysis and physical iteration—designing parts, building prototypes, testing them, learning from failures, and improving the design. You’ll collaborate closely with manufacturing and cross-functional teams to deliver practical, reliable mechanical systems. **Requirements** * 6+ years of mechanical design experience using SOLIDWORKS * 2+ years of experience with complex surface modeling * Strong experience working with manufacturers and applying DFM/DFA for cost-effective, scalable production * Hands-on prototyping experience using 3D printing and machining **Preferred Experience** * Experience working with MCUs, sensors, and basic hardware interfacing * Designing for harsh or outdoor environments, ideally including marine applications * System-level debugging, hardware/software integration, and structured test approaches * Familiarity with industry standards for safety-critical or mission-critical hardware
