  • 5+ years of consumer product design experience with knowledge of injection molding, sheet metal forming, soft goods, and electromechanical systems.
  • Experience shipping high-volume consumer products, including manufacturing support in Asia.
  • Highly proficient with 3D modeling (e.g. Solidworks, NX, Creo).
  • Experience with high-volume manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), tolerance analysis, functional dimensioning and geometric tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Solid understanding of root cause analysis, DOEs, and other quality measuring techniques.
  • BSME or equivalent.
  • Willingness and ability to travel to China as needed.
