About the Role
You will own critical mechanical subsystems from concept through production release. You will analyze, prototype, and validate designs; improve manufacturability, reliability, and cost; support production transfer with suppliers and contract manufacturers; and investigate manufacturing and field issues to root cause. You will collaborate across electrical, firmware, controls, product, and operations functions and travel as needed for supplier and contract-manufacturer engagements.
Requirements

- Strong SolidWorks skills
- Knowledge of statics, dynamics, kinematics, strength of materials, stress analysis, FEA, and tolerance analysis
- Knowledge of injection molding, sheet metal, weldments, CNC machining, surface finishes, and painting or powder coating
- Knowledge of design for reliability and manufacturability
- Hands-on prototyping, instrumentation, characterization, and testing experience
- Experience working with electrical, firmware, and controls engineers
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work onsite in NYC or be based in the greater Boston area with regular travel to the NYC office
