Senior Mechanical Engineer, Gridware

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, preferably in a startup or technology-driven environment
• Proficiency in CAD software (ideally SolidWorks) and simulation tools (e.g., FEA, CFD)
• Strong in design for mass manufacturing of plastic and sheet metal components
• Strong knowledge GD&T principles, mechanical QA and tolerance stackup analysis
• Experience designing for outdoor environments, dealing with waterproofing, wide temperature ranges, high humidities, freeze-thaw and similar challenges
• Strong knowledge of materials science, manufacturing processes, and DFM/DFA principles
• Experience with hands on prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical designs
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Effective communication and collaboration skills
• Familiarity with industry standards and compliance requirements

Desirable

• The Hardware Engineering team is responsible for designing and testing all of our devices, from mechanicals and electronics to the firmware and protocols they run
• Our devices save lives, but doing this means supporting a diverse set of continuously-sampling sensors and we need tens of thousands of units to run super-reliably for 10 years in extremely challenging environments, ranging from snowy mountaintops to forests and deserts
• Design and develop mechanical components and systems, ensuring they meet performance, reliability, and safety standards
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical and software engineering, to integrate designs into complete systems
• Conduct simulations, prototyping, and testing to validate designs
• Oversee manufacturing processes and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the product design and development processes
