TL;DR · Sensing HW Data Collection Systems Mechanical Engineer

JOB TITLE: Sensing HW Data Collection Systems - Mechanical Engineer The Sensing HW Data Collection Systems team designs hardware for systems that integrate novel technologies for data collection and new feature development. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will partner with cross-functional teams including electrical, optical, embedded firmware, and software algorithm engineers to realize mechanical designs for early-stage data collection. Your daily responsibilities include developing mechanical designs using 3D CAD, creating proof-of-concepts, and managing prototyping, fabrication, and low volume system manufacturing. You will perform thermal analysis, reliability testing, and rapid failure analysis while ensuring manufacturability. Key skills include proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, Siemens NX, and knowledge of GD&T, DFM/DFA, and tolerance analysis. You will also integrate electronics, sensors, and cameras within tight packaging or thermal constraints for various product categories.

What you'll do

  • Develop mechanical designs for data collection systems using 3D CAD software.
  • Create and evaluate hardware proof-of-concepts by coordinating with machine shops and vendors.
  • Execute design validation plans including thermal analysis and reliability testing.
  • Support assembly and integration for internal engineering builds and external contract manufacturing.
  • Perform rapid failure analysis to mitigate issues and maintain project timelines.
  • Define and refine technical requirements for design, testing, and validation.
  • Integrate electronics, sensors, or cameras into tight packaging and thermal constraints.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with good analytical skills and familiarity with materials and manufacturing processes.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and generating 2D manufacturing drawings.
  • MS in mechanical engineering with proven industry or internship experience (preferred).
  • Exposure to real-world manufacturing and quality control processes including IQC, IPQC, tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, and GD&T (preferred).
  • Experience with Siemens NX and familiarity with design, fabrication, and assembly of flexible or rigid printed circuit boards (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience integrating electronics, sensors, or cameras within tight packaging or thermal constraints (preferred).
  • Understanding of optical and imaging systems, force, touch, or inertial sensing technologies (preferred).
