Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Join Matic as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, where you'll lead the design of critical subassemblies of our products and work closely with hardware, software, and product teams. You'll own a critical subsystem end to end, make tradeoffs across various factors, drive suppliers, and own failure investigations. You'll also raise the technical level of the engineers around you through design reviews, mentorship, and setting a high standard on your own drawings. This role requires deep expertise in mechanical engineering, high volume manufacturing, and a passion for great design.

You make other engineers better without needing a title to do it

You are still hands-on. Tell us the last thing you personally built, measured, or debugged yourself rather than delegating

You've owned something outside your discipline because the company needed it done and you were the one available

You've made a call under uncertainty, been wrong, caught it, and fixed it. We will ask about this

About Matic

• Comfort in a fast-paced startup where you are the escalation point, not the escalator
• You are excited to do great work

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of critical subassemblies of products, from requirements to validation.
• Make and own tradeoffs across cost, mass, acoustics, serviceability, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Drive suppliers from tooling kickoff through T1 and T2 to a qualified process, and hold the line on quality.
• Test design judgment: you've built accelerated test plans that correlated to field data, and you know when an acceleration model does not apply

Requirements

• A subsystem you owned that shipped in volume, where you can walk through the architecture decisions, what you rejected, and what you got wrong
• Deep command of high volume manufacturing, particularly injection molding, at the level of tool design conversations with a supplier
• You've been through at least one full production ramp and can talk about what broke between T1 and mass production
• You've built a tolerance and variation strategy for an assembly, including how you decided what to control and what to leave open
• A technical degree in mechanical engineering or related field. Most people who can do this job have 5+ years of professional design experience on shipping high volume products, but we hire on demonstrated capability. If you're earlier in your career and can show the above, apply for this role rather than the Mechanical Design Engineer role
• You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
• You love diagnosing complex technical issues
• You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

Preferred

• Experience in NVH, motors, or turbo motors is a plus
