Job Description Position Overview The Senior Mechanical Engineer will lead the design, development, and industrialization of mechatronic systems and precision mechanisms used in high volume consumer electronic products. This role plays a critical function from concept through mass production, working cross functionally with electrical, firmware, manufacturing, and quality teams to deliver robust, scalable, and cost effective designs. The ideal candidate has deep experience in mechanism design, electromechanical integration, tolerance stack up, and manufacturing readiness within fast paced, high mix, high volume environments. Key Responsibilities Product Design & Mechatronics Development

• Design and develop mechanical and electromechanical systems, including mechanisms, actuators, housings, linkages, and precision assemblies.
• Own mechatronic system integration, collaborating closely with electrical and firmware teams to ensure seamless hardware software interaction.
• Lead design efforts from early concept, prototyping, and validation through production ramp and sustaining engineering.
• Apply DFMEA, PFMEA, and robust design methodologies to ensure reliability and manufacturability. Mechanisms & Precision Engineering
• Design and validate precision mechanisms such as hinges, sliders, latches, gear systems, springs, and motor driven assemblies.
• Perform tolerance analysis, stack ups, and GD&T to ensure functional performance at scale.
• Evaluate materials, finishes, and coatings with a focus on durability, cost, and consumer facing aesthetics.
• Support reliability testing, lifecycle testing, and failure analysis. High Volume Manufacturing Support
• Partner with manufacturing, operations, and supply chain teams to support DFM/DFA, yield improvement, and production scalability.
• Support prototype builds, EVT/DVT/PVT phases, pilot runs, and full production launches.
• Diagnose and resolve manufacturing issues related to mechanisms, assembly processes, or supplier provided components.
• Lead continuous improvement efforts to improve quality, cost, and throughput in mass production. Cross Functional Leadership
• Act as a mechanical technical lead on cross disciplinary product teams.
• Interface with suppliers and contract manufacturers on tooling, fixtures, and process capability.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to mechanical design standards and best practices.
