• Perform FEA, tolerance analysis, and kinematic simulations to validate design integrity.
• Create detailed 2D engineering drawings with GD&T and inspection specifications.
• Lead DFM with contract manufacturers and tooling vendors to optimize cost and quality.
• Collaborate with electrical and firmware teams to ensure integrated, manufacturable designs.
• Define test plans, evaluate mechanical reliability, and iterate based on validation results.

• At least 3 years in mechanical design for complex hardware systems (consumer electronics, robotics, or automation preferred).
• Proficient in CATIA (V5/V6) or equivalent 3D CAD software.
• Strong foundation in injection molding, die-casting, and sheet metal fabrication.
• Hands-on with prototyping tools and validation testing.
• Experience in FEA, GD&T, and creating detailed production drawings.
• Excellent communicator and cross-functional team player.

• Python scripting for design automation or data analysis.
• MATLAB for system modeling or tolerance analysis.
• Background in robotics or wearable systems with tight mechanical constraints.
• Deep knowledge of plastic materials, shrinkage, and performance tuning.
