About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, model, and prototype mechanical enclosures, mechanisms, and structural components using 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CREO, etc).
Select appropriate materials, manufacturing processes (3D printing, injection molding, CNC machining), and fastening methods.
Perform thermal, stress, and ingress protection (IP rating) analyses to ensure hardware durability.
Develop, debug, and maintain clean embedded code for ARM based CPUs and peripheral ASICs and PHYs.
Implement low-level drivers for sensors, actuators, power management systems (PoE); perform hardware validation and bring-up of new SoCs; debug cross-layer (bootloader, kernel, application) and cross-domain issues (firmware, electrical) issues.
Collaborate with HWPMs and other NPI members, Manufacturing partners and trusted vendors.
Build, test, and iterate on functional prototypes.
Troubleshoot system-level bugs where mechanical constraints and firmware logic collide.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tooling and drafting.
Proficiency in embedded systems (firmware/software); familiarity with Linux, RTOS, bootloaders and their build systems, or kernel-level debugging.
Familiarity with standard hardware protocols (I2C, SPI, UART) and the equipment used to troubleshoot their electrical implementation.
A "systems-thinking" mindset—you understand how a change in mechanical design affects thermal performance, battery life, and firmware complexity.
