About the role

• Mechanical Design Engineer responsible for designing gimbal camera units and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Ensures mechanical–electrical integration and delivers reliable, manufacturable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Translate functional and system-level requirements into clear mechanical requirements, concepts, and detailed designs.
• Develop high-quality 3D CAD models and production-ready 2D drawings for parts and assemblies.
• Perform engineering analyses such as tolerance analysis, structural and thermal checks, and basic FEM where required.
• Select appropriate materials, surface treatments, and manufacturing processes based on performance, cost, and quality targets.
• Collaborate closely with electronics engineering teams to integrate mechanical designs with PCBs, wiring, connectors, sensors, actuators, and motors.
• Define mechanical clearances, grounding concepts, and thermal constraints for electronics-integrated designs.
• Support prototype builds, evaluation, and validation testing activities.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners, provide technical documentation, and support design and manufacturing reviews.
• Maintain BOMs, drawings, revision control, and release documentation in a structured and traceable manner.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, internal design guidelines, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Proven experience as a Mechanical Engineer in a product development or high-tech environment.
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools (e.g. NX, Creo, SolidWorks, or similar) and experience creating production-ready 2D drawings.
• Experience integrating mechanical components with electronic systems, including enclosures, connectors, thermal solutions, and tolerance management.
• Understanding mechanical–electrical interfaces and basic electronics or mechatronic systems (sensors, actuators, wiring, PCBs).
• Experience with IPx-rated designs for harsh or outdoor environments.
• Experience with tolerance analysis and basic FEM or similar analysis tools is a plus.
• Thermal design knowledge related to electronics, such as ventilation strategies, heat sinking, and material selection, is an advantage.
• Familiarity with DfM/DfA principles and collaboration with suppliers and manufacturing teams.
• Experience with integrated motor systems is considered an advantage.
• **Skills & Abilities Required**
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop innovative and practical solutions.
• Hands-on and pragmatic engineering mindset.
• Clear and effective communication skills in both spoken and written English.
• Proactive and adaptable, with a willingness to learn new technologies and address integration challenges.
• Able to work in a structured manner, documenting design decisions and following up on actions.
• Comfortable contributing to cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced development environment.
