Headquartered in the United States, TP-Link Systems Inc. is a global provider of reliable networking devices and smart home products, consistently ranked as the world’s top provider of Wi-Fi devices. The company is committed to delivering innovative products that enhances people’s lives through faster, more reliable connectivity. With commitment to excellence, TP-Link serves customers in over 170 countries and continues to grow its global footprint.

We believe technology changes the world for the better! At TP-Link Systems Inc, we are committed to crafting dependable, high-performance products to connect users worldwide with the wonders of technology.

Embracing professionalism, innovation, excellence, and simplicity, we aim to assist our clients in achieving remarkable global performance and enable consumers to enjoy a seamless, effortless lifestyle.

Overview:

TP-Link Systems Inc. is seeking a talented and driven Mechanical Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will own the mechanical system architecture (internal layout, construction strategy, and assembly approach) and detailed mechanical design of next-generation consumer networking or smart home products.

You will take products from early concept through high-volume manufacturing, working closely with Industrial Design (ID), Electrical/Hardware Engineering, NPI/Operations, and external suppliers/contract manufacturers to deliver production-ready designs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and drive product-level mechanical system architecture, including internal layout, part breakdown strategy, construction strategy, fastening/joining strategy, datum scheme, tolerance strategy, and serviceability.
  • Partner with Industrial Design (ID) to translate design intent into manufacturable mechanical solutions while balancing aesthetics, usability, reliability, schedule, and cost.
  • Collaborate with Electrical/Hardware Engineering to define mechanical interfaces and constraints, including PCB outline and mounting, connector/I-O access, assembly datums, fastener strategy, and key keep-outs (as applicable).
  • Support thermal and EMI-related mechanical integration, including thermal conduction/heat-spreading paths, shielding strategy implications (contact/compression features, gasket interfaces, conductive coatings), and grounding/contact reliability across tolerance and assembly variation.
  • Create and release deliverables using PTC Creo (Creo Parametric): 3D CAD, 2D drawings, specifications, and (preliminary and released) BOMs; apply GD&T and tolerance stack-up on critical interfaces.
  • Plan and support prototype builds and validation (EVT/DVT/PVT or equivalent): define build objectives and acceptance criteria; evaluate fit/function, cosmetic, key dimensions, and assembly robustness; drive issue closure through subsequent builds.
  • Lead supplier/toolmaker engagement including tooling kick-off and T0/T1/Tn iterations; coordinate mold tuning and dimensional/assembly issue closure with suppliers/CMs.
  • Drive DFM/DFA decision-making across manufacturing processes (injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, die casting, secondary ops/finishes), including cost/schedule trade-offs.
  • Own documentation quality and change discipline: release and maintain drawings/BOMs and drive Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) with clear revision control and supplier communication.
  • Participate in root-cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical issues found during builds, in production, or from field returns.
  • Mentor early career engineers through design reviews, best practices, and hands-on coaching (scope/expectations vary by leveling).

Requirements

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • 3+ years of mechanical and/or product design experience in consumer electronics or electro-mechanical products.
  • Strong proficiency with PTC Creo; able to independently produce release-ready part/assembly CAD, drawings, and BOMs.
  • Strong fundamentals in plastics/metals, injection molding, tooling iteration, tolerance/GD&T, and high-volume manufacturing considerations.
  • Strong communication skills and demonstrated ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
  • Willingness to travel up to support suppliers/CMs as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with compact, high-volume consumer electronics (routers/mesh nodes/gateways or similar products).
  • Experience working directly with CMs/toolmakers and closing issues through tooling iterations (T0/T1/Tn).
  • Familiarity with rapid prototyping (3D printing, CNC prototypes, soft tooling) and hands-on build/debug support.
  • Familiarity with structural simulation/FEA and vibration/shock fundamentals.
  • Exposure to PLM/PDM tools and controlled release workflows.

For second and third-round interviews (but not for the initial recruiter screen), please be prepared to provide a portfolio (PDF) or be ready to present work samples via screen-share. Confidential details should be redacted.

Benefits

Salary range: $110,000-$150,000

  • Fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (partial premium coverage for dependents)
  • Employer quarterly contributions to 401k funds
  • 15 days accrued vacation
  • 11 paid holidays
  • Bi-annual reviews, and annual pay increases
  • Health and wellness benefits, including free gym membership
  • Quarterly team-building event

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.
