Mechanical Design Engineer

Hiring !!!
Greetings from Modern Agile Technologies Inc.

Position: Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: Sunnyvale, CA (Onsite)
Type:     Full Time

Exp: 8-15 years

Key Points: Candidates from phone manufacturing companies (Apple, Google, Samsung……); with AR/VR experience; 2+ yrs of product development in consumer electronics  products (like-small form factor, smart glasses, smart watches)   

Key Responsibilities

Lead the mechanical design for a particular component, feature, or system while having end-to-end product development understanding.
Contribute to mechanical solutions as part of a highly cross-functional team, working closely with electrical engineering, industrial design, operations, and firmware teams.
Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for enclosures, internal structures, and components using CAD software (e.g., Creo, UG NX).
Model, and iteratively refine prototypes and characterization test systems to validate design concepts and performance goals.
Build and test prototypes to analyze performance, reliability, and durability under various conditions.
Optimize space constraints, ensuring tight integration of mechanical parts with electrical components
Work across the full product development cycle, from concept to ship.
Research and evaluate materials (plastics, metals, composites) and manufacturing processes such as injection molding, CNC machining, or die-casting, to come up with innovative solutions and approaches for next gen products.
Collaborate and manage work with Asia-based Supply Chain partners to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost targets are met.
Troubleshoot assembly, manufacturing, and system level issues throughout the product lifecycle.
