Responsibilities
- Drive mechanical architecture and enclosure development specifically for outdoor IP-rated devices, rugged housings, and battery-integrated systems.
- Validate product performance under extreme outdoor conditions (thermal cycling, UV exposure, waterproofing, vibration, salt spray).
- Lead DFM/DFT reviews with tooling and manufacturing partners, ensuring high-volume readiness and stable mass production.
- Collaborate with EE/RF teams to optimize layout, antenna placement, and thermal paths while maintaining sealing and structural integrity.
- Develop mounting solutions for diverse outdoor installation environments and ensure long-term mechanical reliability.
Requirements
- 7+ years in designing outdoor, ruggedized, IP-rated devices (Outdoor AP, IP Camera, Surveillance, IoT Outdoor, Mobile Devices, Automotive Electronics, Outdoor Power, Rugged Laptop or equivalent).
- Strong hands-on experience with waterproof design (gasket, vent, overmold, sealing structures) and reliability engineering for outdoor environments.
- Proven ownership of mechanical development from concept to MP for high-volume consumer or prosumer electronics.
- Demonstrated ability to balance mechanical constraints with RF, thermal, and optical requirements.
Nice to Have
- Experience working on Camera-Like devices, battery enclosures, or thermal management for outdoor systems.
- Familiarity with optical module mechanical integration (FOV alignment, tolerance stack-up, anti-fog design).
- Track record of leading design reviews and cross-team decision-making in fast-moving product organizations.
