Gantri

Mechanical Engineer

• Product Design & Development: Create and refine key components for Gantri products (e.g., lights and other items) using SolidWorks, SuperSlicer, and Illustrator. Translate industrial design concepts into detailed hardware specs for injection-molded, 3D-printed, stamped metal, and laser-cut parts for both overseas and domestic production.
• Continuous Improvement: Analyze issue reports against sales data to prioritize high-impact problems. Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) on returned products to identify root causes and validate solutions.
• Documentation & Manufacturability: Produce detailed SOPs, part documentation, and specifications optimized for medium-volume manufacturing and international sourcing. Write RFQs for electronic components (PCBA, batteries, cables, and related materials). Maintain strong CAD organization with PLM systems.
• Project Management: Oversee new product inventory projects, defining requirements and coordinating timelines using Excel and SolidWorks. Support exploration of new product categories, ensuring design and manufacturing alignment.
• Vendor Management & Sourcing Support: Collaborate with overseas manufacturing partners and Gantri’s remote Sourcing Manager to refine hardware development. Assist with vendor selection and provide technical expertise on sourced components, particularly electronics.
• Design Optimization: Use CAD, Excel, and engineering formulas to define design parameters and optimize product performance for Gantri’s digital manufacturing platform.
