    • Design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization

    • Conduct structural, thermal, and vibration analyses

    • Develop mechanical test plans and validate designs through prototyping

    • Troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical issues

    • Collaborate with industrial design, electrical, and manufacturing teams

    • Document designs, test results, and technical specifications

    • Evaluate new materials and manufacturing technologies for future products

    • Manage relationships with external vendors and manufacturing partners

    • Apply AI tools and techniques to optimize mechanical designs and processes

    • Collaborate with data scientists to develop AI-driven solutions for mechanical engineering challenges

    A day in the life

     

    You will work closely with Product Marketing, Industrial Design, Electrical Engineering, and the ME team to deliver high-volume consumer hardware. You will collaborate with vendors from concept through production ramp, using rapid prototyping and simulation tools to validate ideas before tooling.

     

    You will balance strategic design decisions with hands-on engineering work, including prototyping, teardown analysis, reviewing factory samples, and validating fixes. Your responsibilities span material selection, architecture development, manufacturing challenges, quality, and field performance. You will visualize solutions quickly, sketch concepts, and either execute the CAD work or lead contract engineers to complete it.
