  • Mechanical Design: Contribute to 3D CAD modeling and 2D engineering drawings for product components and assemblies, with guidance from senior engineers. Support design work across our product portfolio - handles, cartridges, accessories, and more
  • Engineering Analysis: Apply foundational engineering analysis methods - including tolerance analysis, FEA, and DFMEA - to evaluate design performance and help de-risk key decisions
  • Prototyping & Testing: Support the build and evaluation of prototypes. Help develop test methods and execute engineering tests to validate designs against performance requirements
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Industrial Design, Program Management, Quality Engineering, Hard Product Innovation, and Reliability Engineering to support product development from concept through launch
  • Documentation: Create and maintain clear engineering documentation including specifications, DFM, and design rationale to ensure alignment across the team
  • Continuous Learning: Actively develop your expertise in design, knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials, and product development best practices - growing through hands-on work and mentorship from senior engineers
  • Reporting to Senior Product Design Engineer

  • You will work cross-functionally with Industrial Design, Program Management, Quality Engineering, Hard Product Innovation, and Reliability Engineering
  • Are you a product enthusiast who loves making cool stuff?
  • Some exposure to engineering analysis methods - tolerance analysis, FEA, DFMEA, or similar - is a plus
  • Foundational understanding of GD&T principles and experience creating 2D engineering drawings
  • Self-starter who takes ownership and drives tasks to completion
  • Optional: A design portfolio is welcome, but not required
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative spirit
  • A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, or demonstrated equivalent experience
