Quick facts
From the original posting
The Role
You'll carry mechanical parts and assemblies from CAD through prototype testing and supplier feedback. Accurate recording outside the lab depends on hardware that holds sensors in alignment, survives repeated use, stays comfortable, and manages heat, and you'll turn those requirements into designs that can be built, maintained, and used in the field. Your work will shape how Mecka's capture systems perform in people's hands.
What You'll Do
Design mechanical systems that support accurate recording and can be assembled, maintained, and manufactured efficiently.
Build and test prototypes to improve fit, weight distribution, stiffness, and ease of use.
Analyze tolerances, loads, and sensor alignment, and validate key assumptions with physical measurements.
Partner with electrical and sensor engineers on packaging, thermal paths, cable routing, and service access.
Review parts with suppliers and refine designs using assembly results, reliability testing, and field feedback.
What You Bring
Must-have:
3–4 years of experience in mechanical engineering.
Proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks or Onshape) and the ability to produce clear engineering drawings.
Solid understanding of mechanics, materials, tolerances, fits, fasteners, and dimensional inspection.
Hands-on experience building prototypes and testing physical assemblies.
Knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, molding, sheet metal, or additive manufacturing.
Ability to package electronics and sensors with assembly, thermal behavior, and maintenance in mind.
Experience working with suppliers to resolve part quality, manufacturability, and cost issues.
Nice-to-have:
Experience with wearable products, robot end effectors, handheld mechanisms, or precision sensor mounts.
Experience with flexible materials, thermal analysis, or fatigue and durability testing.
