Job description

ResMed is looking for a Product Design Engineer who enjoys solving complex physical product problems and turning ideas into products that can be manufactured at scale. The role spans the full product development process, from understanding user needs and exploring early concepts through prototyping, detailed design, testing and production.

Mask design brings together engineering, human anatomy, materials, manufacturing, aesthetics and user experience. Small design decisions can make a meaningful difference to how a product feels, performs and fits into someone's life.

Let\'s talk about the role

As a Product Design Engineer, you will develop hardware products from early concept through to production. You will prototype, test, develop CAD, work with suppliers and manufacturing teams, and refine designs as they mature. The role involves working closely with colleagues across Product Design, Customer Experience, Product Management, Manufacturing, Regulatorily,Materials, Technology and other engineering disciplines.

You will also build knowledge in areas beyond your own discipline as projects demand it, drawing on specialists across ResMed to solve complex product challenges. Working with internal manufacturing teams and external suppliers, you will help optimise designs for performance, comfort, aesthetics, quality and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

• Use human centred design and Design Thinking approaches across discovery and product development.
• Develop detailed 3D CAD designs that balance fit, form, function, user experience and manufacturing requirements.
• Apply engineering methods such as tolerance analysis, risk assessment and DFMEA to support design decisions.
• Build and test prototypes, learn from user and technical testing, and use the results to improve designs.
• Develop part specifications, drawings and technical documentation to communicate design intent to suppliers and manufacturing teams.
• Keep up to date with relevant materials, manufacturing methods, technologies and design practices.

Experience that would be valuable

You do not need experience in every area below.

• Around three or more years of relevant product development experience.
• Complex surface modelling.
• High volume manufacturing and tooling.
• Injection moulded components.
• Cast or machined components.
• Tolerance analysis, DFMEA or related design engineering methods.
• Rapid prototyping and experimental design approaches.
• Medical device, wearable product or consumer product development.

Why join the Masks team?

You will work on products where engineering and human experience are closely connected. Our teams bring together people from design, engineering, materials, manufacturing, customer experience and technology.

ResMed supports flexible ways of working. There will be times when working together in our laboratories and design spaces is important, alongside flexibility where the work allows.

Our users are diverse, and we want our team to bring different experiences and perspectives to the problems we solve.

We know strong candidates do not always meet every requirement listed in a job advertisement. If the role interests you and you believe your experience could contribute to the team, we encourage you to apply.

Please submit your resume along with a portfolio or examples of your work that demonstrate your design thinking, problem solving and product development experience.

If you enjoy solving physical product problems and want to work on products people use every night, we would like to hear from you.

Joining us is more than saying “yes” to making the world a healthier place. It’s discovering a career that’s challenging, supportive and inspiring. Where a culture driven by excellence helps you not only meet your goals, but also create new ones.
