Cupertino, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/14/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026
About the Role

We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who brings a strong foundation in mechanical or manufacturing engineering and thrives in a customer-facing, product-driven role. This is a unique opportunity for someone who understands how things are made—but is equally comfortable engaging with clients, coordinating across departments, and driving products from idea to mass production.


Key Responsibilities
  • Own the end-to-end mechanical component lifecycle—from concept validation through to mass production—focused on enclosures and structural parts.
  • Act as a technical liaison between internal teams (design, procurement, sales) and external stakeholders (customers, suppliers, factories).
  • Collaborate with clients to define product requirements, ensuring feasibility across design, cost, and manufacturing capabilities.
  • Support business development teams by offering technical insights during customer meetings, RFQ responses, and project scoping.
  • Translate technical needs into action plans, guiding suppliers and contract manufacturers to align with quality, cost, and timeline expectations.
  • Perform mechanical feasibility assessments including Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews.
  • Oversee supplier coordination, particularly for processes such as CNC machining, metal forming, die-casting, and surface finishing.
  • Contribute to pricing strategies by analyzing material costs, process efficiencies, and competitive benchmarks.
  • Lead or support new product introduction (NPI) activities, ramp-up phases, and factory readiness initiatives.
  • Stay up to date on manufacturing trends, technologies, and customer needs across consumer electronics and related sectors.


Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 3–5 years of experience in mechanical product development or project engineering—ideally in an OEM or manufacturing environment for consumer electronics.
  • Hands-on exposure to mass production methods such as CNC, stamping, casting, and surface treatment processes.
  • Strong familiarity with CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or similar), including basic understanding of GD&T.
  • Proven experience working with contract manufacturers and component suppliers across Asia.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage customer relationships, interpret requirements, and drive product realization.
  • Willingness to travel to manufacturing partners and client sites as needed.
  • Bilingual in Mandarin 
  • 20% Travel
  • Onsite position
