Mechanical Engineer (III)

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact on the future of hardware innovation?

Our client, a leader in groundbreaking technology development, is seeking a highly skilled and passionate Mechanical Engineer to join their dynamic engineering team.

In this pivotal role, you will drive outcomes for critical projects, define internal roadmaps, and translate visionary hardware product features into clear specifications and robust test processes. You'll tackle complex engineering challenges head-on, delivering elegant solutions that shape the next generation of cutting-edge products and systems. Your work will directly influence product performance, reliability, and overall user experience, positioning you as a trusted subject-matter expert and key contributor within a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

As a vital member of the engineering team, you will contribute to key projects and initiatives by:

• Evaluating hardware designs for feasibility and identifying opportunities for feature customization to optimize final product builds.
• Developing hardware architecture and design validation strategies by translating product features into detailed specifications, requirements, and test processes for individual products and integrated systems.
• Selecting optimal components and intellectual property (IPs) to support future system performance and end-to-end solutions.
• Integrating complex hardware systems, subsystems, and components with other products, services, networks, and industry partners.
• Proactively identifying potential design risks, ensuring rigorous validation, and driving continuous improvement.
• Diagnosing and resolving hardware issues by debugging complex, non-standard failures and implementing effective corrective actions.
• Building functional prototypes and designing critical hardware components (e.g., optics, lasers, cables, audio circuits, antennas) in collaboration with internal teams and external vendors.
• Creating essential design documentation and test plans that account for assembly requirements, operational guidelines, and cost constraints.
• Assessing design feasibility against product requirements and managing trade-offs across packaging, performance, power, and technology selection.
• Scoping and delivering hardware projects through close collaboration with internal stakeholders and external partners.

• Proficiency in hardware systems and subsystem implementation
• Strong knowledge of layout and printed circuit board (PCB) design
• Expertise in technical documentation and design artifacts
• Demonstrated team leadership or management experience
• Advanced debugging, troubleshooting, and failure analysis skills
• Deep understanding of the full product development lifecycle
• Experience planning and executing hardware validation
• Solid foundation in mechanical engineering principles
• Strong knowledge of system architecture, including hardware and operating systems
• Broad industry knowledge and technical curiosity
• Exceptional data analysis and synthesis skills
• A strong commitment to product excellence
• Systems-thinking approach to complex problem-solving
• Clear understanding of product and platform architecture
