* Optimization of assemblies for manufacturing, assembly, cost, and quality
* Hands‑on involvement with tooling design, tool reviews, and first‑article inspections
* Technical coordination and management of external suppliers and manufacturing partners
* Oversight, guidance, and quality assurance of work performed by junior mechanical design engineers
* Close collaboration with cross‑functional teams across engineering, production, and supply chain
#### **What You Bring to the Team**
* 5–10 years of professional experience in hardware or mechanical engineering with exposure to automotive, aerospace, defense, or safety‑critical product standards
* Background in automotive, consumer electronics or comparable high‑volume industries
* Strong proficiency in CATIA V5 and deep experience designing injection‑molded parts and assemblies for high‑volume production
* Experience working closely with electronics, powertrain, propulsion, and systems engineers
* A pragmatic, ownership‑driven mindset and the ability to move fast without compromising quality
* Passion for hardware — drones, model aircraft, or hands‑on technical hobbies are a strong plus!
