Job description

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to own the end-to-end mechanical design of a compact, low-power wireless product. The role involves translating system requirements (electronics, RF, optics, battery, thermal, environmental) into a manufacturable, rugged enclosure suitable for outdoor and mission-critical use.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product & Enclosure Design

• Design complete mechanical housing for wireless camera systems (indoor/outdoor).
• Convert functional requirements (camera FOV, antenna placement, battery size, PCB constraints) into mechanical design.
• Design for compact form factor, modularity, and serviceability.
• Support mounting options: pole, wall, tripod, vehicle, wearable, or custom brackets.
• Design enclosures to meet IP65 / IP67 / IP68 ingress protection standards.
• Consider thermal management (passive cooling, heat sinks, airflow, material selection).
• Account for shock, vibration, dust, rain, humidity, and temperature extremes.
• Experience with outdoor, defence, industrial, or wildlife products preferred

3. Materials & Manufacturing

• Metals (Aluminium, Magnesium, Stainless Steel)
• Apply DFM, DFA, and DFMEA principles.
• Create tolerances, GD&T, and assembly-ready designs.

4. Integration with Electronics & RF

• Collaborate closely with electronics and RF engineers.
• Ensure correct placement for:
• Antennas (avoid RF shielding issues)
• Battery & power circuitry
• Connectors, seals, and vents
• Design EMI/ESD considerations into enclosure layout.

5. CAD, Documentation & Prototyping

• Create 3D CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings.
• Support rapid prototyping (3D printing, CNC).
• Work with vendors for tooling, prototypes, and pilot builds.
• Support design iterations based on field testing feedback.

Required Skills & Tools

Core Skills

• Understanding of optics, RF constraints, and battery integration
• Knowledge of sealing methods (O-rings, gaskets, ultrasonic welding)

CAD Tools (any one mandatory)

• SolidWorks
• Creo
• Fusion 360
• CATIA / NX (bonus)

Manufacturing Knowledge

• Tooling constraints and parting line design
• Tolerance stack-ups
