Haptics Product Design Engineer

What you'll do

• Design and define mechanical components and assembly schemes for haptic actuators.
• Contribute to haptic engine architecture including magnetic circuits, flux paths, and force-profile designs.
• Characterize magnetic materials through BH-loop measurements, flux measurements, and thermal demagnetization.
• Analyze static and dynamic structures using simulation and experiments to quantify device performance.
• Validate and characterize designs through multiple iterations to meet performance targets.
• Develop new manufacturing and assembly processes in coordination with external vendors.
• Conduct failure analysis and Design of Experiments (DOEs) to resolve root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Design for manufacturability (DFM) in collaboration with process and manufacturing design teams.

What we're looking for

• BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
• Experience with 3D CAD.
• Strong fundamentals in mechanics and magnetism.
• Working expertise of magnetic measurement, characterization, grade selection, and thermal demagnetization.
• Skilled in problem-solving using the scientific method, root cause analysis, and Design of Experiments (DOE).
• Proficient with mechanical or electromagnetic FEA tools.
• Applied knowledge of electrical circuits, material science, and basic chemistry.
• MS and 5 years experience, or PhD in relevant engineering/science fields with a concentration in magnetics or mechatronics (preferred).
