Senior Mechanical Engineer (Electromechanical Product Development)

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Mechanical Engineer (Electromechanical Product Development)

• Work style: Embedded in early-stage innovation; front-end engineering feasibility

Description

Drive the front-end mechanical and electromechanical feasibility roadmap for next-generation consumer products. Convert ambiguous problems into proof-of-concept rigs and functional prototypes, validate early ideas, and hand off credible solutions to the development team. Work across the full system (mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, connectivity) and communicate progress through CAD, 3D models, sketches, and physical prototypes.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate across engineering, industrial design, brand, and test kitchen teams across the US, UK, and China

• Build proof-of-concept rigs and functional prototypes to stress-test ideas early

• Work across the full system: mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, connectivity

• Communicate quickly via sketching, CAD layouts, 3D models, and physical prototypes

• Run design and engineering studies solo and in teams, with consumer experience as the north star

• Mentor junior engineers and help build a culture that treats failure as signal

• Stay close to IP development and identify novel, inventive solutions alongside R&D

Requirements

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a closely related field

• 4–8+ years of experience in mechanical engineering or product design

• Hands-on experience designing electromechanical products in a product development environment

• Proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo

• Experience with plastic part design, including injection-molded, silicone, and rubber components

• Comfortable in the lab: building prototypes, running tests, reporting findings, and determining next steps

• Strong communication skills—able to sketch ideas and defend them in engineering reviews

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts (HSA) with company contribution

• 401(k) retirement plan with matching

• Employee stock purchase program

• Life insurance, AD&D, short-term disability, and long-term disability
