Exceptional mechanical intuition. You understand how forces, materials, and mechanisms behave instinctively. You have owned the mechanical architecture of a shipped wearable, head-worn, or handheld consumer device end to end, and can describe both the tradeoffs you chose and the ones you refused.

## What they're looking for

- Exceptional mechanical intuition. You understand how forces, materials, and mechanisms behave instinctively
- You have owned the mechanical architecture of a shipped wearable, head-worn, or handheld consumer device end to end, and can describe both the tradeoffs you chose and the ones you refused
- Depth packaging cameras, sensors, compute, and batteries into space-constrained enclosures with tight tolerance and alignment requirements, with a track record of setting those budgets rather than working inside someone else's
- Deep hands-on knowledge of injection molding and polymer selection, from part design through tooling and T1 to production, including judgment on when to commit tooling
- Working fluency in soft goods and textiles: straps, padding, fabric-to-rigid interfaces, and skin-contact ergonomics. You know when this needs a specialist and can direct one
- High proficiency in SolidWorks, Catia, NX, or similar CAD tools, including surfacing
