Product Development Engineer – Mechanical R&D

Remotely
Full-time

Shaping ideas into manufacturable, market-winning products—that is your mission. As a Product Development Engineer you will use advanced mechanical engineering, user-centered design, and CAD expertise to drive concepts from sketch to sustained production. This opportunity supports remote work within the United States, enabling you to innovate wherever you thrive.


Responsibilities

- Conduct market and user research to crystallize functional and business requirements.  

- Generate divergent concepts through sketching, storyboarding, and 3D CAD modeling.  

- Build and iterate prototypes using 3D printing, CNC, and soft-tooling methods.  

- Execute design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) reviews with suppliers.  

- Plan and oversee verification, validation, and regulatory testing (ISO, IEC, UL, FDA as applicable).  

- Collaborate daily with electrical, firmware, industrial design, and sourcing teams.  

- Create engineering documentation—BOMs, tolerance analyses, test reports, ECOs.  

- Guide products through pilot, ramp, and lifecycle cost-reduction phases.  

- Present data-driven design updates to executives and non-technical stakeholders.  


Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.  

- 4+ years delivering products from concept through launch in consumer goods, medical devices, electronics, or industrial equipment.  

- Mastery of SolidWorks plus proficiency in CREO or Fusion 360.  

- Hands-on prototyping experience: FDM/SLA 3D printing, machining, sheet-metal, injection molding.  

- Demonstrated skill in tolerance stack-ups, GD&T, FEA, and thermal analysis.  

- Familiarity with project management platforms and agile methodologies.  

- Clear, concise communication—written, verbal, and visual—across functions.  

- Eligibility to work in the United States without sponsorship.  


Nice-to-Have Skills

- Experience with IoT hardware integration or embedded systems packaging.  

- Knowledge of sustainability analysis and recycled material selection.  

- Six Sigma Green Belt or similar continuous-improvement certification.  

- Patents or published papers in product innovation.
