ABOUT

We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own the mechanical design of our wearable products.. You'll take parts and assemblies from concept through prototyping, EVT/DVT/PVT, and into mass production. You'll work closely with our Electrical, Firmware, Industrial Design, Quality, and Operations teams, as well as our contract manufacturers and suppliers.

This role is perfect for a hands-on engineer who has shipped high-volume consumer electronics, loves the challenge of packing a lot into a very small space, and wants real ownership at an early-stage company.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Define mechanical architecture of new products

- Own the mechanical design of key parts, subsystems, and full product assemblies, from concept through mass production

- Build and test prototypes fast; use the results to make clear design decisions

- Package electronics into a small wearable form factor, including PCBs, flexes, batteries, antennas, sensors, microphones, and haptics

- Design plastic, metal, and elastomer parts for high-volume manufacturing (e.g., injection molding, insert/overmolding, CNC, MIM, stamping)

- Release production-ready 3D CAD and 2D drawings with GD&T; run tolerance stack-ups

- Drive design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) with contract manufacturers and part suppliers

- Plan and run mechanical validation and reliability testing (drop, tumble, ingress/water resistance, wear, fatigue, sweat/chemical exposure); lead root cause analysis

- Balance comfort, fit, durability, and cosmetics with Industrial Design for a product people wear all day

- Support engineering builds at our manufacturing partners, including on-site factory support

- Document designs and decisions clearly, and help shape how our hardware team works

QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

- 7+ years of mechanical design experience in consumer electronics

- Shipped at least one high-volume consumer electronics product through EVT → DVT → PVT → MP

- Strong 3D CAD skills (e.g., OnShape, Creo, or SolidWorks) and 2D drawings with GD&T

- Hands-on experience with tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, and plastic and metal part design

- Solid knowledge of materials and high-volume manufacturing processes

- Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and suppliers

- Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

- Must have ability to travel internationally

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience shipping wearables (rings, watches, earbuds, fitness trackers, or similar)

- Experience with miniaturized assemblies, waterproofing, and small-battery or wireless-charging integration

- Experience designing for human factors, fit, and comfort across a range of body sizes

- Experience with highly cosmetic parts and surface finishes (e.g., PVD, anodizing, polishing, coatings)

- Experience at an early-stage startup

FTE Benefits

- Health, vision, and dental benefits

- Company-sponsored 401(k)

- Unlimited PTO and sick time

- Early stage equity

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
