Senior Device Engineer - Mechanical

Responsibilities

• Own product development end-to-end: Independently drive mechanical design of consumer electronics products from concept and industrial-design intent through detailed design, prototyping, and mass production.
• Lead large-assembly design: Architect and manage complex, multi-part 3D CAD assemblies, maintaining design intent, robust part relationships, and revision discipline across the full product.
• Build mockups and prototypes: Create mockups and functional prototypes to evaluate concepts, validate fit and function, and accelerate design iteration.
• Manage simulation and analysis: Plan and manage simulations and engineering analysis, assess risks and design options, and justify decisions against product and cross-functional requirements.
• Drive industrial-design integration: Manage ID discussions to balance and accommodate optical, acoustic, RF, usability, reliability, and operational-efficiency requirements across the full range of intended environmental conditions.
• Design for manufacturing across processes: Design and optimize parts for injection molding, die-cast metal, over-molding, silicone (LSR) injection molding, compression molding, double-shot/two-shot molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, die-cut, and stamped processes.
• Drive tolerance and DFX resolution: Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and lead resolution of DFM/DFA/DFX feedback to ensure manufacturable, reliable, cost-effective designs.
• Prepare manufacturing drawings: Produce detailed 2D drawings for manufacturing that capture critical dimensions, tolerances (GD&T), manufacturing methods, materials, finishes, colors, and all requirements necessary to produce quality products.
• Prepare BOMs, RFQs, and documentation: Prepare preliminary and detailed BOMs and RFQ packages, and document decisions, meeting minutes, research conducted, analyses and simulations performed, engineering assumptions and calculations, and risks with mitigation options.
• Engage vendors and partners: Work directly with tooling vendors and ODM/manufacturing partners across Asia to drive part quality, tool builds, and issue resolution through EVT, DVT, and PVT.
• Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of mechanical design experience, with significant experience in consumer electronics, and a demonstrated ability to take products from concept to manufacturing independently.
• Proficient 3D CAD skills with strong large-assembly management experience ( Creo strongly preferred ).
• Thorough working knowledge of designing parts for injection molding, die-cast metal, over-molding, silicone injection molding, compression molding, double-shot molding, CNC, sheet metal, die-cut, and stamped processes.
• Proven experience with tolerance stack-up analysis , GD&T , and resolving DFM/DFA/DFX feedback.
• Experience producing manufacturing-ready 2D drawings , BOMs , and RFQ packages , and maintaining clear engineering documentation.
• Demonstrated experience working with vendors and manufacturers in Asia and collaborating with cross-functional, globally distributed teams (ID, Optics, Acoustics, EE, RF, FW, QE).
• Self-motivated with the ability to own product development autonomously and coordinate effectively across remote sites and time zones.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Requirements

• Direct experience developing cameras and/or video doorbells or similar connected-home consumer devices.
• Experience working in fast-paced consumer electronics d
