About the role

We're hiring a Senior Product Design Engineer to own the mechanical design and product architecture of Ironsite's wearable hardware.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and shipping physical products, with at least one full product lifecycle delivered in wearables, cameras, or ruggedized consumer or industrial hardware at real volume
  • Experience shipping wearable products. You know what it takes to design something that has to be comfortable, durable, and reliable on a person's body for a full day, every day
  • Deep expertise designing rugged electromechanical devices for harsh outdoor environments, including sealing, gasketing, and thermal management for enclosures containing electronics
  • Strong experience designing parts for mass production, particularly sheet metal, injection-molded plastics, and custom castings
  • Hands-on experience working directly with contract manufacturers through DFM reviews, first-article inspection, tooling qualification, and production ramp
  • Proficiency with parametric CAD (Onshape, SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX, Creo, or similar) and comfort with tolerance analysis, FEA, and DFM analysis tools
More about this role

Ironsite is building the intelligence layer for the physical world. We design our own wearable hardware, deploy it alongside craft workers, and transform a shift's footage into a next-morning report. Our internal team and purpose-built models label the data overnight and deliver actionable insights to superintendents by 5 AM.

We are accelerating the speed, efficiency, and predictability of construction, especially for complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects, including data centers, LNG facilities, sports stadiums, hospitals, and other large-scale developments, by training AI models on egocentric construction footage and labor productivity data. We are built with a pro-worker philosophy at our core: we believe technology should empower the workforce, not replace it. We're working to give craft workers and project leaders better visibility into what's happening on-site, while creating a system where the reality of construction and the chaos of each day is finally available to the people running the project.

Ironsite is deployed across several of the largest active construction projects in the country. To date, we've captured more than 100,000 hours of construction footage...
