Duration: 12 months

Description

The main function of a mechanical engineer is to research, design, prototype, build, test and maintain mechanical products, equipment, systems, and processes. The individual will be working in an inter-disciplinary and collaborative team that works on hardware prototyping for AR/VR products.

Candidate Value Proposition

The ideal candidate will be able to make informed decisions with what is working or needs to be completed and improved. This role is fast-paced, low volume, with a high mix of hardware prototypes. The team is small, collaborative, and helpful. There are project meetings, and this role is a great opportunity for those interested in developing cutting-edge technology for the future AR/VR products!

Role Responsibilities (including, But Not Limited To)

Conceptualize and design parts and assemblies for a product, equipment or system involving complex mechanical, electrical and optical components

Generate 3D CAD models and 2D drawings for parts and assemblies using CAD software (NX preferred)

Assign tolerances for the parts and perform tolerance stack analysis

Identify fabrication methodology for parts. Setup and document instructions to assemble devices

Perform DFM/DFA assessments for the design while ensuring they meet functionality, reliability and UX/UI goals

Create and maintain BOM

Assemble devices in-house for low/medium quantities involving mechanical, electrical, and optical components

Design, fabricate, and assemble fixtures and other tooling for experiments and prototype assembly/test

Create and document test procedure and results

Document and maintain prototype parts inventory

Performance Measurement

Performance will be measured on quality of work and completing tasks in a timely manner.
