Job summary

Hextronics in Miami is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to own critical subsystems for dock products, drive DFA/DFM, and ensure field production readiness. You will design, prototype, and test components using Fusion 360, collaborating with cross-functional teams to iterate hardware for unattended operation in the field.

You will work with senior engineers to evaluate new technologies and manufacturing methods, supporting rapid prototyping and scalable production.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 2–5 years of experience designing complex mechanical products, ideally in robotics, industrial systems, consumer electronics, or aerospace.
• Strong proficiency with CAD software such as Fusion 360.
• Experience designing and manufacturing large mechanical parts: pressure forming, thermoforming, sheet metal, and/or injection molding.
• Hands-on experience with actuator selection and integration in real mechanical systems.
• Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping tools to build proof-of-concept models.

Responsibilities

• Own critical mechanical subsystems on Hex’s new dock product. Including actuators, large enclosures, and actuator-driven assemblies
• Design mechanical parts and assemblies in 3D CAD that meet structural, durability, manufacturability, and industrial design requirements
• Drive design-for-assembly and design-for-manufacturing decisions on large mechanical parts produced via pressure forming, thermoforming, sheet metal, and injection molding
• Develop and present multiple design solutions for novel challenges, articulating tradeoffs clearly to cross-functional teammates and documenting the design process thoroughly
• Plan and execute verification and validation tests, leveraging DOE methodologies to deliver actionable insights on quality, performance, and manufacturability
• Perform thorough root cause analyses to identify and resolve issues in the field and on the production floor
• Collaborate with senior engineers to evaluate new technologies, materials, and manufacturing methods
