Job Description
About the Role
We are developing advanced physical products that require strong mechanical engineering capabilities, precision, and rapid execution. The Mechanical R&D Engineer will be responsible for designing, prototyping, and validating high-performance mechanical systems. This role involves hands-on engineering work, rapid iteration, and close collaboration across disciplines. It requires the ability to convert concepts into functional prototypes and refined engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities
1. Mechanical Design & CAD Engineering
Develop high-precision 3D models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks.
Design complex mechanisms, enclosures, actuators, and high-tolerance components.
Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and ensure manufacturability and engineering integrity for production.
2. Rapid Prototyping & Experimental Builds
Translate design concepts into functional prototypes using 3D printing, machining, sheet-metal fabrication, molding, and other processes.
Assemble, modify, test, and refine prototypes through multiple iteration cycles.
Collaborate with electronics, firmware, and cross-functional teams for integrated proof-of-concept builds.
3. Design for Performance & Reliability
Engineer systems to withstand thermal loads, vibrations, shock, environmental conditions, and long-term usage.
Conduct structural, thermal, and modal simulations using FEA tools to validate and optimize designs.
Lead mechanical root-cause investigations and implement corrective actions and performance improvements.
4. Manufacturing & Supplier Collaboratio n
Work with suppliers for machining, injection molding, sheet metal, casting, and other manufacturing processes.
Prepare production-ready drawings, GD&T specifications, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
Optimize designs for DFM and DFA while maintaining performance and design objectives.
5. Innovation & Problem Solving
Develop innovative mechanisms and user-centric mechanical solutions.
Explore new materials, fabrication techniques, and manufacturing processes.
Contribute to the mechanical architecture of next-generation product platforms.
