Proxxi Technology Corporation builds wearable electrical hazard alerting devices that protect industrial workers. Our flagship product, Proxxi Voltage, is a wrist-worn device distributed worldwide to major utilities and industrial companies. When you ship work here, it ends up on the wrists of people doing some of the world's most dangerous jobs.ABOUT THE ROLEWe're hiring a Mechanical Engineer to own all mechanical aspects of every Proxxi product, current and future. This is a hands‐on individual contributor role: you'll be our only full‐time ME, responsible for everything from enclosure detailing and DFM through injection mold tooling, assembly process design, and manufacturing engineering.You won't be working in isolation. Our CTO (EE lead) and Head of Manufacturing both have hands in mechanical work and will be your closest collaborators. You'll also work with an external ID contractor to translate the industrial design concept into production‐ready mechanical designs. The ME function is yours to own, fully.Expect to be in our Gastown office most days. The physical nature of the work (prototypes, builds, test rigs, CM coordination) rewards being there in person. This is not a role for someone who needs direction.WHAT YOU'LL OWNTranslate ID concept into production‐ready CAD: parting lines, draft angles, wall thickness, rib and boss design, snap fitsTolerance stack‐up analysis across the full device assemblyIP67 waterproofing systems (gaskets, O‐rings, adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding)Integration of acoustic components, optical components, and user‐interface mechanisms (buttons, band attachment)
into sealed enclosuresAccessory and charger mechanical systems: alignment, retention, cable managementMechanical design for future productsTooling & manufacturingMold tool drawings for all injection‐molded parts: gate location, ejector layout, cooling channels, cosmetic finishing specsDFM review, GD&T, assembly sequence definition, and error‐proofingJig and fixture design for assembly, testing, and QCManufacturing process design and yield improvementMold maintenance and tool‐life managementNPI support at our contract manufacturer: EVT and DVT builds, FAI, and yield rampTest, quality & workshopDefine and execute the mechanical test plan: drop, vibration, IP67 water ingress, UV, chemical resistance, abrasionMechanical quality standards and IQC/OQC criteriaFMEA maintenance from field return dataPrototyping workshop setup and ongoing management: 3D printers, CNC, hand tools, safe and well‐organized workspacesWHAT YOU BRINGBSME or equivalent (MSME preferred but not required for strong candidates)7+ years of mechanical engineering experience in consumer electronics or wearable device developmentYou've taken injection‐molded products from design through tooling to mass production: not just designed parts,
but owned the tooling processNPI (Current Product Introduction) experience at contract manufacturers: pilot builds, first article inspection, process validation, and the transition to mass productionStrong proficiency in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks (we primarily use Fusion, but we'll work with you on the decision if you prefer SolidWorks)Deep DFM skills: injection molding, assembly design, tolerance analysis, GD&THands‐on waterproofing experience for IP67 or IP68 productsComfort working with North American (Canada, US, Mexico) and Asia‐based contract manufacturersSelf‐directed and curious. You spot what needs doing, dig into what you don't yet know, and prefer making over meetingBONUS POINTSWrist‐worn or watch‐form‐factor devices specificallyFlex PCB integration within enclosuresInjection mold tool design knowledge (not just DFM)FEA experienceAcoustic component integration in sealed enclosuresFMEA, SPC, and formal quality methodologyMagnetic alignment or retention mechanism designSoftgoods design (silicone, TPU, or textile watch bands)Overmolding and two‐shot molding (soft‐touch grips, sealed buttons, bumpers)Background in industrial or safety product development (PPE, hazard detection)Prototyping shop setup and managementWHAT WE OFFERCA$110,000–$150,000, commensurate with experienceStock options in Proxxi Technology CorporationFusion 360 and SolidWorks licenses, 3D printer access, and prototyping tools providedTravel to contract manufacturers coveredHybrid schedule based in our Gastown office, with flexibility based on program phase #J-18808-Ljbffr
