About BrickeyeBrickeye leverages the power of data from construction to drive risk mitigation and productivity gains. We are a fast-growing construction technology company developing the world’s most advanced IoT-based risk mitigation platform for water damage mitigation, concrete quality / defect control, and real-time site intelligence. We protect construction projects from avoidable loss, reduce the total cost of risk, and help asset owners, general contractors, and insurers deliver projects on time and on budget.The ChallengeAt Brickeye, we’re building IoT-enabled technology that turns construction sites into smart, predictive environments. Our physical products are the foundation of this intelligence. We need devices that survive extreme conditions:Operating flawlessly in -30°C to +60°C weather.Maintaining power efficiency for multi-year battery life in the field.Integrating diverse sensors (water, temp, pressure, flow) into a robust, deployable system.We’re seeking a Hardware Product Engineer whose deepest strength is mechanical product design, built on a true mechatronics foundation. Your center of gravity is mechanical enclosures, materials, molding, manufacturability and you’re genuinely comfortable reviewing a PCB layout, weighing in on antenna placement, and reading firmware logs to debug a field issue.Core ResponsibilitiesOwn products end-to-end mechanical design, electrical integration, prototyping, validation, and the transition to volume manufacturingThink holistically about the product lifecycle and the trade-offs between battery life, RF performance, size, environmental sealing, and BOM costAutonomy to drive technical decisionsMove quickly from schematic and CAD file to a working proof-of-conceptTranslate field and user feedback into practical design improvements for ruggedness, usability, and longevityEngineer enclosures to meet IP/NEMA environmental ratings (moisture, dust, vibration, and temperature resistance)Bring industrial design sensibility to product development—form, proportions, ergonomics,
and install/service experience—so devices look and feel like polished products, not just enclosures.Design with DFM/DFA in mind so products are cost-effective and scalable from the first production runWhat You Bring4+ years of end-to-end hardware product development experience (design through production)Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Design Engineering (or equivalent multidisciplinary background)Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent) and mechanical drawing standardsWorking knowledge of PCB design and PCBA integration—able to collaborate on layout decisions, component placement, and antenna integrationExperience with FEA, DFM, and tolerance analysisStrong understanding of environmental sealing, materials selection, and manufacturabilityDemonstrated mechanical design depth, including designing plastic parts for injection molding (draft, parting lines, wall thickness, tolerances) and collaborating effectively with toolmakers and mold vendorsHands-on prototyping experience (3D printing, CNC coordination) and comfort with electrical and mechanical test equipmentProgramming ability in Python or C/C++ for test automation, data analysis, or firmware-adjacent workHands-on development experience with Raspberry Pi (or similar embedded Linux single-board computers) for prototyping, sensor integration, and test/utility applicationsAI-First MindsetWe believe in AI’s powerEarly Adopter:You actively use AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and others) to unlock new possibilities beyond traditional methods.
