Job description

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to lead mechanical design from early concept through mass production. This person will bridge industrial design intent and manufacturable, reliable hardware — owning designs across the full product lifecycle, from prototyping and feature definition through China-based build execution and volume ramp. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on design skills with deep manufacturing and reliability engineering knowledge, and is excited to mentor junior engineers on the team. BS 8+ years of mechanical/product design experience, ideally in consumer electronics or similarly complex hardware products. Proven track record shipping at least one (ideally multiple) high-volume consumer products from concept to mass production. Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar) and experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, or built-in CAD FEA modules). Deep knowledge of metal and plastic manufacturing processes (CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, die casting) and their design constraints (DFM/DFA). Hands-on experience with GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and reliability/failure analysis methodologies (root cause analysis, DOE, 8D, etc.). Experience working directly with contract manufacturers in China, including on-site build support and vendor management. Familiarity with integrating mechanical design around electro-mechanical subsystems (acoustics, displays, input devices, batteries/power electronics, antennas). M.S. or Ph.D. and 6+ years job experience in Product Design, Mechanical Engineering or related field Experience with acoustic or RF/antenna co-design considerations. Background in industrial design collaboration or human factors. Experience with statistical process control (SPC) and yield analysis during ramp.
