Description

Job Title: Mechanical Engineer

Location : Redmond

Top 3 must-have HARD skills:

• FPC/PCB design
• 70%+ CAD role, so NX is a requirement
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and 3D printing.

Good to have skills:        

• Robotics or mechatronics experience,
• and precision manufacturing experience
• Experience with CAD surfacing
• Injection molding experience

Duties:

• Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to design, manufacture, and assemble prototypes of soft wearable electronic devices
• Apply sound engineering and design principles for manufacturing of injection molded components, soft electronic components, and novel sensor integrations in wearable electronics
• Communicate with vendors on DFM and Manufacturing of designs for prototype builds
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers to rapidly prototype hardware solutions, iterate, and run experiments.

Skills:

Must Haves:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
• 4+ years of experience in designing hardware prototypes, preferably in wearable consumer electronics, or a similar field
• Knowledge of the design process from concept to manufacturing
• Average or higher experience with CAD modeling [Siemens NX]
• Physical prototyping experience
• Experience with FPC/PCB design
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• 3D printing.

Nice to Haves:

• Knowledge of sensors
• Experience developing wearable consumer electronics
• Experience designing with softgoods or textiles
• Hands-on prototyping with molding and casting of elastomers or industrial processes such as Liquid Injection Molding
• Experience collaborating and communicating effectively on multi-disciplinary teams
• Experience working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

Business Group & Key Projects:

• The role is for a Mechanical Engineer based in Redmond.
• The primary focus is on advancing the development of soft wearable electronic devices.
• The need is to staff a multi-disciplinary team responsible for taking novel concepts through the entire product development lifecycle—from initial design and prototyping to preparing for manufacturing—specifically for cutting-edge wearable technology.

Compelling Story & Candidate Value Proposition:           

• This role offers the opportunity to be a key member of a multi-disciplinary team, driving the mechanical and manufacturing design for the next generation of soft wearable electronic devices.
• The candidate will work on novel sensor integrations and apply advanced DFM principles (including injection molding and liquid silicone rubber) to rapidly prototype and iterate on cutting-edge hardware solutions, taking concepts from R&D to viable product prototypes.

Typical Day in the Role:

• A typical day involves working with a multi-disciplinary team to design, manufacture, and assemble prototypes of soft wearable electronic devices.
• This includes applying sound engineering and design principles for the manufacturing of injection molded and soft electronic components.
• You would also spend time communicating with vendors on DFM for prototype builds and collaborating with researchers and engineers to rapidly iterate and run experiments on hardware solutions.
