About the position
The Mechatronics/Electro-Mechanical Lead Engineer will have broad ownership of hardware design and manufacturing of systems, fixtures, and prototypes in support of product development and validation teams. This role involves designing mechatronics and electromechanical fixtures and systems specifically for internal system validation testing of consumer wearable devices. The engineer will be responsible for developing specifications and project plans to execute designs, working closely with product designers and cross-functional teams to ensure that all requirements are incorporated into the specifications. As both a team lead and an individual contributor, the engineer will conduct detailed design work, create 3D models and drawings, and drive design reviews. This position requires a strong technical background, particularly in the areas of high precision mechanisms and electromechanical assemblies. The engineer will utilize advanced surfacing techniques in NX and will be expected to have expertise in various manufacturing techniques such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, forging, and die casting. A solid understanding of tolerances and tolerance analysis as it relates to fixture design and implementation is also essential. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of product life cycle management, especially during the early stages of development, production, and launch. They will be expected to write technical reports and present findings at technical reviews, demonstrating strong written and oral communication skills. The role demands the ability to communicate complex technical information effectively to both technical and non-technical personnel, ensuring clarity and understanding across teams.
