## About the role

As a Manufacturing Mechanical Engineer at Sesame, you'll own the mechanical process and fixturing that turns our hardware designs into repeatable, high-yield builds. You'll work directly with our contract manufacturers and tooling partners in Asia — defining assembly processes, specifying and reviewing fixtures, running DOEs, and driving failure analysis when builds don't behave.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, tooling, or related fields
- Have taken a consumer hardware product from prototype builds through to volume manufacturing
- Have worked directly with contract manufacturers and can hold a technical line with their factory engineers
- Expert CAD skills and experience designing tooling, fixtures, jigs, or automated equipment
- Strong understanding of materials (plastics, metals, adhesives) and manufacturing processes, including machining, injection molding, stamping, fabrication, and assembly
- Proven problem-solving ability with experience improving processes, quality, and yield
