We are looking for a mechanical mastermind who can steer cross-functional teams, dodge design roadblocks, and ensure our hardware architecture never hits a pothole. If you have the manufacturing experience to accelerate our product design schedules and the drive to build the physical gear that solves real-world infrastructure challenges, it is time to put the pedal to the metal!

Objectives and Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Own critical aspects of new product design—spanning from individual parts and modules to full product architecture—supporting them from initial concept through to mass production.
• Target Driven: Vigorously drive the hardware design process to hit strictly defined schedules and cost targets without compromising on quality or performance.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work seamlessly alongside Electrical, Quality, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to execute complex technical requirements and root-cause systemic issues.
• Hands-On Prototyping: Take an active, hands-on role in the prototype building stage to deeply understand the design, identify assembly friction, and proactively resolve part quality issues.
• Manufacturing Transition: Successfully introduce new products to the manufacturing floor, supporting the team with hands-on training and rapid debugging during initial prototype builds.
• Supplier Optimization: Manage and cultivate strategic relationships with global suppliers through clear communication, and actively source new suppliers and technologies to elevate our hardware capabilities.
• Tooling & Fixtures: Design, develop, and implement manufacturing and assembly test fixtures for both new and existing products.
• Continuous Improvement: Champion in-life product improvements (like BOM cost reductions and new supplier qualifications) while contributing to team growth through design reviews, brainstorming, and sharing best practices.

The Ideal Profile:

• The Experienced Engineer: You bring extensive
• hardware and product design experience, backed by a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
