About the role
- Translate functional and system-level requirements into clear mechanical requirements, concepts, and detailed designs.
- Develop high-quality 3D CAD models and production-ready 2D drawings for parts and assemblies.
- Perform engineering analyses such as tolerance analysis, structural and thermal checks, and basic FEM where required.
- Select appropriate materials, surface treatments, and manufacturing processes based on performance, cost, and quality targets.
- Collaborate closely with electronics engineering teams to integrate mechanical designs with PCBs, wiring, connectors, sensors, actuators, and motors.
- Define mechanical clearances, grounding concepts, and thermal constraints for electronics-integrated designs.
- Support prototype builds, evaluation, and validation testing activities.
- Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners, provide technical documentation, and support design and manufacturing reviews.
- Maintain BOMs, drawings, revision control, and release documentation in a structured and traceable manner.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, internal design guidelines, and engineering best practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- Proven experience as a Mechanical Engineer in a product development or high-tech environment.
- Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools (e.g. NX, Creo, SolidWorks, or similar) and experience creating production-ready 2D drawings.
- Experience integrating mechanical components with electronic systems, including enclosures, connectors, thermal solutions, and tolerance management.
- Understanding mechanical–electrical interfaces and basic electronics or mechatronic systems (sensors, actuators, wiring, PCBs).
- Experience with IPx-rated designs for harsh or outdoor environments.
- Experience with tolerance analysis and basic FEM or similar analysis tools is a plus.
- Thermal design knowledge related to electronics, such as ventilation strategies, heat sinking, and material selection, is an advantage.
- Familiarity with DfM/DfA principles and collaboration with suppliers and manufacturing teams.
- Experience with integrated motor systems is considered an advantage.
- **Skills & Abilities Required**
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop innovative and practical solutions.
- Hands-on and pragmatic engineering mindset.
- Clear and effective communication skills in both spoken and written English.
- Proactive and adaptable, with a willingness to learn new technologies and address integration challenges.
- Able to work in a structured manner, documenting design decisions and following up on actions.
- Comfortable contributing to cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced development environment.
