Senior Mechanical Engineer
Job Summary
We are looking for a Lead Mechanical Engineer to design hardware capable of surviving harsh environments in mining, construction, and large-scale infrastructure. You will be responsible for physical product design, including rugged enclosures, sealing systems, and thermal management for high-precision systems. The role involves managing the product lifecycle from CAD design and simulation to prototype testing and scaling for volume production.
Responsibilities
- Design rugged hardware enclosures
- Develop IP-rated sealing systems
- Manage thermal solutions
- Perform DFM and DFA for scale
- Conduct prototype testing
Required Skills
- CAD/Simulation (SolidWorks/Inventor/Creo)
- Injection moulding and die-cast design
- Tolerance analysis
- Environmental testing (UV, shock, vibration)
- Prototyping (3D printing, CNC)
Job Details
Responsibilities:
- Designing rugged enclosures for antennas, sensors and embedded electronics.
- Working with plastics and aluminium (injection moulding, extrusion, die-cast, machined parts).
- Designing IP-rated sealing systems (gaskets, O-rings, adhesives, ultrasonic welding, overmolding).
- Making products survive UV, weather, vibration and shock.
- Solving thermal problems inside sealed boxes.
- Running tolerance stacks, DFM and DFA for volume production.
- Using CAD and simulation (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent) to get designs right before they hit the factory.
- Building and testing prototypes using 3D printing, CNC and lab rigs.
Product Requirements:
- Must survive the environment.
- Must be manufacturable at scale.
- Must be easily assembled and serviced in the field.
