Coordinate with manufacturing and deployment teams to ensure smooth transition as product designs are updated
Produce/check design layouts, detail drawings, assembly drawings, bills of material, tolerance studies (GD&T) and parts lists
Create engineering reports documenting design efforts, verification plans and test results
Manage relationships with external (contract) engineering teams
What we’re looking for
BS or MS in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience as a mechanical engineer
Recent professional experience using commercial mCAD products such as Solidworks, Inventor, Creo or Onshape
Professional or academic experience using FEA packages for mechanical stress/strain and thermal-fluid analysis
Experience or exposure to design philosophy for plastic/metal injection molded parts, casting or other high-volume manufacturing modalities
Experience designing products with major optical components such as cameras or head-mounted displays
Basic understanding of computer programming in one or more modern languages (Python, Matlab, C, R, etc.)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to a variety of audiences
Experience with common program management (MS Project, Visio, etc.) and productivity (Confluence, Jira, etc.) tools
Previous experience working inside innovative, high-growth environments is a plus
Compensation and Benefits The anticipated base salary for this position is $125,000.00 USD to $180,000.00 USD annually. Base salary is one component of Metropolis's total compensation package, which may also include access to or eligibility for healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance, a lucrative stock option plan, bonus plans, and more.
