This role owns the end-to-end development of mechanical tooling and test equipment for PCBA, battery pack, and component-level assembly and testing. The engineer will translate engineering and manufacturing requirements into robust, repeatable, and scalable solutions that improve production throughput, quality, safety, and operational efficiency. The ideal candidate has strong mechanical design fundamentals, hands-on prototyping and fabrication experience, and a demonstrated ability to transition custom engineering setups into reliable production-ready equipment.

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Key job responsibilities

• Define hardware requirements and specifications, design components and sub-systems using computer-aided design (CAD) and simulation tools, and validate designs through rigorous prototyping and testing to optimize performance, cost, and reliability.
• Lead larger projects by breaking complex systems into sub-components, coordinating parallel development efforts across your team, and reassembling them into a cohesive and well-integrated design.
• Create comprehensive test plans that thoroughly validate hardware designs, address system integration challenges, and incorporate failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to ensure product reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, vendors, and manufacturing partners to negotiate fabrication approaches, select appropriate materials and components, and drive products from prototype through production readiness.
• Mentor and coach junior engineers, contribute to design reviews that improve product delivery, and establish best practices for operational excellence, quality, and safety across your organization.
