Mechanical Product Designer (Camera)

Responsibilities

• Conduct a mechanical feasibility study from initial ID concepts through sizing analysis, component selection, refinement of design details, assembly and integration, and performance/environment qualification testing
• Search out materials and components. Create detailed 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and BOM for the product.
• Perform thermal, structural testing, and analysis to predict and optimize the system performance
• Build prototypes, analyze results of reliability testing, improve the design, and bring to production.
• Develop component and assembly drawings and specifications, tolerances for production

Qualifications

• At least 7+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience.
• 3D CAD experience is required.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including ID, EE, Thermal, RF, Optical, Audio, and UX, to drive system layout and mechanical integration.
• Experience in owning a mechanical development effort as a lead engineer.
• Experience with manufacturing processes, including plastic injection molding, sheet metal, extrusion, die casting, and CNC machining.
• Experience in design for manufacture, design for cost, and other DFX concepts.
• Support failure analysis and root cause investigations; troubleshoot, iterate, and validate solutions efficiently.
• Experienced in DFM/DFA optimization with mechanical vendors, including tooling release, validation, and production ramp-up.

Preferred Requirements

• Mechanical design experience using SolidWorks.
• Outdoor product experience (dust/water proof, drop resistance).
• Experience in optical and power-related applications.
