Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Designer on a 4-month contract basis to lead the mechanical hardware iteration for the V2 version of our Sonicfinder technology. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to refine existing mechanical architectures, optimize enclosures, and ensure high-reliability performance in demanding field environments.

Duties

3D CAD Design & Modeling: Design, build, and modify complex mechanical parts, assemblies, and enclosure concepts tailored for the V2 Sonicfinder hardware platform.

Environmental Protection Design: Implement robust sealing and structural strategies to achieve IP65 and IP67ingress protection ratings for field-deployed electronic/acoustic components.

Prototyping & DFM: Prepare Detailed Engineering Drawings (GD&T;) for manufacturing, support rapid prototyping, and interface with vendors for rapid machining, molding, and sheet metal fabrication.

Design Validation: Conduct structural tolerance stack-up analyses, material selection, and fit checks to ensure durability against environmental stresses (dust, moisture, pressure, impact).

Documentation: Maintain accurate CAD models, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and revision histories throughout the product iteration cycle.

Qualifications





Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design Technology, or equivalent practical hardware design experience.

CAD Proficiency: Advanced hands-on proficiency in SolidWorks for complex parametric solid/surface modeling and assemblies.

IP Enclosure Expertise: Direct experience designing for IP65 and IP67 standards (gaskets, O-rings, overmolding, cable glands, and water-tight pass-throughs).

Manufacturing Knowledge: Practical understanding of DFM/DFA principles across injection molding, CNC machining, die casting, or rapid prototyping techniques.

Execution & Delivery: Solid problem-solving abilities with a track record of meeting tight product delivery milestones independently.

Join us as a Mechanical Designer where your skills will drive innovative solutions! We value energetic professionals eager to contribute their expertise in a vibrant environment. If you’re passionate about mechanical systems design and eager to make an impact through detailed craftsmanship—this is the perfect opportunity for you!
