We are looking for someone to join our Product Development team. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will design and deliver products according to specification. The right candidate will be highly creative with a deep understanding of manufacturing processes and materials. You will work with ID, EE, and Quality to create user-focused reliable products that you manage throughout their lifecycle. You will utilize 3D modeling and rapid prototyping to creatively solve problems with an eye on manufacturability. This role is located in our Los Angeles, CA office, and we are only considering local candidates at this time. The hands-on position would suit a self-motivated, result-oriented individual in a casual, fast-paced environment. This is an individual contributor role (not managing direct reports), but you will influence teams across products, quality, operations, and supply chain to drive accountability and results. Responsibilities
Create CAD models, including part and assembly drawings, BOMs, and complex surfacing. Contribute to mechanical solutions as part of a cross-functional team. Support product ideation through leading new technology assessments, prototype testing, and coordinating with other functions to ensure cohesive integration of technologies. Work across the full product development cycle, from concept to shipping product. Collaborate with Quality and Test Engineers to define and validate functional and production-line tests. Collaborate with Asia-based Supply Chain/Quality/Process engineers to ensure products are manufactured to Puffco specifications and cost targets. Lead mechanical design reviews, including tolerance analysis, FEA, DFM, tooling, assembly flow, and fixture considerations. Minimum Qualifications
BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent industry experience. 4+ years of industry experience in mechanical design and consumer product development. Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and extensive CAD experience. Portfolio of past work required — including design examples, project contributions, and launch outcomes. Strong understanding of the entire design process from concept to EOL. Experience in Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), statistical tolerance analysis techniques, functional dimensioning, GD&T, and 3D/2D CAD. Working knowledge of materials such as plastics, silicone, metal, adhesive, and glass/ceramic. Testing and analysis experience (FEA, Simulation, Design of Experiments, etc.). Knowledge of high-volume manufacturing techniques (extrusion, die cast/MIM, machining, injection molding, etc.). Excellent organizational skills with the ability to track and resolve issues across multiple programs. Experience working in a shop for mock-up and prototype fabrication. Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership and accountability, able to work independently while driving product outcomes. Collaborative and humble team player who thrives in fast-paced environments with hands-on problem-solving skills. Preferred Qualifications
7+ years of product design and development experience of high-volume consumer electronics. MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering. Vaporizer industry/product development experience a plus. Experience with highly cosmetic products and working with Industrial Design. Proven track record of integrating complex electronics into small form factors with EE collaboration. Experience working with Asian suppliers, including visits to manufacturing sites. Proven track record of delivering products on schedule that meet quality, reliability, and cost targets. Experience working in a small, fast-paced environment and with Asia-based supply chains. Fluency in Mandarin and/or Cantonese. Hybrid work and compensation
