## About the role

We're looking for a Mechanical/Product Design Engineer who obsesses over form as much as function. You have a sharp eye for aesthetics, a deep command of surfacing CAD, and a track record of shipping beautifully crafted consumer products. You'll own the mechanical design of our hardware from concept sketch to production, working closely with industrial designers, electrical engineers, and manufacturing partners to bring something people will love to hold in their hands.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years of mechanical design experience, with at least 2 years in consumer electronics
- Expert-level proficiency in Fusion 360 , SOLIDWORKS , or NX — with demonstrated mastery of surfacing / Class-A modeling
- Deep hands-on knowledge of CNC machining , injection molding , and 3D printing — you understand the constraints of each process and design to them instinctively
- Genuine passion for product aesthetics — you can articulate why a radius is wrong and fix it
- Strong understanding of plastics (injection molding, insert molding), sheet metal, and finishing processes (CMF)
- Hands-on experience with tolerance stack-up analysis and GD&T
