  • Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system integration
  • Guide design tradeoffs across thermal performance, structural integrity, cost, and manufacturability
  • Lead design reviews, prototyping, and validation testing (thermal, environmental, mechanical)
  • Ensure designs meet reliability, safety, and regulatory requirements
  • Mentor engineers and build strong technical capability within the team
  • Take ownership of system performance in real-world operating conditions

  • Knowledge of environmental protection design (IP ratings, sealing, materials, coatings)
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes (sheet metal, welding, machining, assembly)
  • Experience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks or similar) and mechanical simulation tools
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work at both system and component levels
  • Effective communicator with cross-functional collaboration experience
Benefits

  • 401(k) with company matching
