Now we're looking for a Product Engineer to help write the next chapter: someone who wants their fingerprints on products people will actually stand beneath, admire, and remember. This is a rare seat at the table — you'll take ideas straight from R D and directly from customers, and carry them all the way from first sketch to a shipping product, with real ownership of the mechanical design decisions in between. This is a full-time, on-site position based in our office in downtown Buffalo, NY, reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer.

Litelab operates across multiple locations:

Research and Development and Industrial Design are based in our New York City office, while Mechanical Design, Testing & Certification, Manufacturing, and Sales are based in Buffalo, NY, where this role is located. Some travel between locations may be required, though not frequent. Why This Role Process ownership, not just execution. You'll shepherd designs from concept through detailed design to production release — not just fill in someone else's spec. Work that gets seen. Our fixtures live in landmark museums, marquee retail spaces, and homes around the world — this isn't anonymous industrial hardware. A tight, seasoned team. You'll collaborate directly with Sales, Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing veterans, and report straight to the CTO — your ideas won't get lost in a big-company hierarchy. Room to shape process, not just parts. As gatekeeper of our CAD document system, you'll have real influence over how the whole team works, not just what gets designed.
