Are you a creative problem‑solver with a passion for turning sketches into functional hardware? Our fully remote engineering studio is looking for a Mechanical Designer who thrives in a digital‑first environment and wants to shape next‑generation products from concept to production.
Salary Range
Estimated Total Compensation: $55,000 – $75,000 USD per year (base salary plus performance‑based bonuses). This range reflects industry standards for fully remote positions and will be adjusted based on experience, certifications, and proven design impact.
About the Role
As a Remote Mechanical Designer, you will collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including electrical engineers, industrial designers, and project managers—using cloud‑based CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape) and PLM systems. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities include:
- Developing 3D models, detailed drawings, and BOMs for mechanical assemblies.
- Running tolerance analyses, finite‑element simulations, and design‑for‑manufacturability reviews.
- Creating rapid prototypes via 3D printing or CNC machining and iterating based on test results.
- Documenting design decisions in a shared knowledge base to ensure seamless hand‑offs to manufacturing partners worldwide.
- Participating in virtual design reviews, sprint planning, and agile retrospectives.
Why This Is a Remote‑First Position
We believe talent knows no borders. All collaboration happens in a secure, cloud‑based workspace, and you’ll receive a full home‑office stipend, high‑speed internet reimbursement, and a flexible schedule that respects your personal peak‑productivity hours.
Key Requirements
- 3+ years of professional mechanical design experience in consumer electronics, medical devices, or industrial equipment.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Onshape) and familiarity with GD&T standards.
- Hands‑on experience with rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting).
- Strong analytical skills; ability to run FEA, motion studies, and thermal analyses.
- Excellent written communication—essential for documenting designs and collaborating across time zones.
- Self‑starter attitude with proven ability to manage multiple projects in a fully remote setting.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (Master’s a plus).
Preferred Extras
- Experience with PLM tools such as PTC Windchill or Siemens Teamcenter.
- Knowledge of additive manufacturing materials and processes.
- Understanding of regulatory standards (ISO 13485, UL, CE).
- Certification in SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) or similar.
Benefits & Perks
- Fully remote work: Choose any U.S. state (or Canada) – we only require a reliable internet connection.
- Home‑office allowance: $1,200 one‑time stipend plus $100/month for coworking space or equipment upgrades.
- Health & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and a mental‑health stipend.
- Retirement savings: 401(k) with company match up to 5%.
- Learning budget: $2,000 annually for courses, certifications, or conferences (virtual or in‑person).
- Flexible PTO: Unlimited vacation policy, provided project milestones are met.
- Team culture: Quarterly virtual retreats, monthly “coffee‑chat” mixers, and a mentorship program.
How to Stand Out
Show us a portfolio that demonstrates the full design lifecycle—from concept sketches and 3D models to physical prototypes and production‑ready drawings. Include brief case studies that highlight problem‑solving, cost‑saving innovations, or speed‑to‑market achievements.
Next Steps
If you’re ready to bring your mechanical expertise to a forward‑thinking, entirely remote engineering team, prepare your résumé, portfolio, and a short cover letter describing why a remote work lifestyle fuels your creativity.
