Mechanical + Embedded Systems Engineer — Consumer Electronics (US) Ended

About the job

** Specifics provided under NDA.**
Seeking US‑based mechanical/embedded engineer(s) to take a compact, small‑form accessory from concept to production‑prototype.

USA applicants only! No exceptions, all applications that fail to meet that parameter will not be considered. Also please do not use AI to generate an inquiry. Show me why you’re a fit based on what you’ve done.

Fully remote.

Work on a focused hardware prototype project (concept → production prototype).
Lead mechanical, electrical, and firmware integration for a small consumer product.
Collaborate directly with founder/PM; access to test hardware and timely feedback.

Key responsibilities
Turn high‑level goals into manufacturable mechanical, electrical, and firmware designs while protecting IP.
Produce 3D CAD, enclosure/mounting details, electrical schematics, PCB/connector layouts, and a complete BOM.
Define a compact module form factor and an accompanying charging solution (detailed constraints shared under NDA).
Specify short‑range wireless approach (e.g., BLE suggested), low‑power control strategies, and per‑unit charge management.
Architect safety and failsafe behavior (battery protection, over‑current safeguards, ingress protection targets).
Provide DFM/DFX guidance, supplier/vendor recommendations for small‑volume production, and test plans (thermal, cycle, contact reliability).
As I will use this to acquire outside investment, this doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect, but it will nee... read more

As I will use this to acquire outside investment, this doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect, but it will need to demonstrate feasibility across constraints provided under NDA.

Must‑have:
US‑based!!
5+ years mechanical/electromechanical or embedded consumer product development.
Experience with low‑power wireless systems (BLE preferred) and small‑form power/charging solutions.
Firmware development for low‑power peripherals.
Demonstrated BOM creation, DFM/DFX guidance, and prototyping/manufacturing experience.
Willingness to sign an NDA and standard IP/assignment terms as part of engagement.

Nice‑to‑have
Experience with compact control systems or portable charging cradles.
Prior work on consumer accessories

Engagement: concept through production‑prototype (you’ll receive detailed size/weight constraints and goals after NDA). read less
