Hardware Product Design Engineer (Mac)

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware Product Design Engineer (Mac)

• Focus: Detailed hardware product design for next-generation portable and desktop computers

Description

Collaborate with industrial designers and cross-functional teams (hardware, software, and technology) to refine and execute product design. You will develop initial product layouts, generate concepts, prototype, demonstrate, and test to support design down-selection, partnering with vendors and manufacturing teams to optimize for function, cosmetics, and manufacturability. Ensure the design meets requirements throughout its lifecycle using stress, tolerance, and failure analysis, and travel up to 20% in Asia to support factory builds.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with industrial designers and engineering groups to execute hardware product design

• Develop initial product layouts

• Generate concepts, prototype, demonstrate, and test designs for down-selection

• Partner with external vendors and internal manufacturing teams to optimize function, cosmetics, and manufacturability

• Perform stress, tolerance, and failure analysis throughout the product lifecycle

• Travel up to 20% in Asia to support factory builds

Requirements

• BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent

• 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience

• Engineering fundamentals: solid mechanics, material science, heat transfer, mechanism design, manufacturing

• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to clearly communicate design ideas and contribute to brainstorms

• Genuine curiosity and collaborative, receptive to feedback

• Ability to travel up to 20% in Asia

Benefits

Strengthen practical design and validation skills in tolerance analysis, geometric dimensioning & tolerancing, design for assembly/manufacturability, injection molded/die cast/sheetmetal/machined high-volume manufacturing, metrology, simple fixture design, CAD, statistical process control, and failure analysis.
