Responsibilities

• Own mechanical design from concept through high-volume production for compact, ruggedized, wireless-connected hardware.
• Develop mechanical designs that balance product requirements across size, weight, durability, sealing, thermal performance, RF performance, manufacturability, and cost.
• Design complex mechanical components and assemblies using plastic injection molding, stamped metal, die casting, machining, adhesives, and bonded joints.
• Build and analyze high-fidelity proof-of-concept prototypes and validate designs through FEA, tolerance analysis, and physical testing.
• Design for demanding field environments, including drop, shock, vibration, long-term durability, and IP66/IP68 dust and water ingress protection.
• Own electro-mechanical integration across PCB/PCBA, flex circuits, batteries, antennas, and other internal components.
• Develop passive thermal-management solutions to dissipate heat from electronics while maintaining compact product form factors.
• Design for carry and wear ergonomics, including belt-, holster-, and body-mounted form factors and one-handed operation.
• Partner with RF and electrical engineers to integrate antennas and wireless systems, including antenna placement, keep-out zones, RF-transparent material selection, and EMI/EMC shielding.
• Develop mechanical structures compatible with RF performance and FCC/IC certification requirements.

Requirements

• 12+ years of mechanical product design experience, ideally within ruggedized, portable, wearable, or other compact electronic products, with a proven track record taking hardware from concept through EVT/DVT/PVT and high-volume manufacturing.
• 5+ years of technical leadership experience, including providing technical direction to teams of 3+ mechanical engineers.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Deep experience designing plastic injection-molded, stamped metal, die-cast, machined, adhesive, and bonded components and assemblies, with strong proficiency in Creo or comparable 3D CAD software.
• Strong expertise in DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, FEA, prototyping, and physical validation, including designing to ruggedization standards such as MIL-STD-810 and IP66/IP68.
• Experience designing compact products around carry and wear ergonomics, including belt-, holster-, or body-mounted form factors and one-handed operation.
• Experience integrating PCB/PCBA, flex circuits, batteries, antennas, and other electro-mechanical components within compact electronic devices.
• Experience designing wireless or connected hardware, including antenna integration, keep-out zones, RF-transparent materials, EMI/EMC shielding, and mechanical considerations for FCC/IC certification.
• Experience developing passive thermal-management solutions and balancing battery, power, runtime, size, weight, and thermal constraints.
• Proven ability to preserve Industrial Design and UX intent while balancing mechanical, electrical, RF, durability, manufacturing, and certification requirements.
