We’re building a borderless engineering studio where precision meets autonomy, delivering robust mechanical systems for products that move markets. As a Remote Mechanical Designer, you’ll translate complex requirements into elegant, manufacturable solutions while collaborating across time zones with clarity and care. From rapid concepting to detailed release packages, you’ll own outcomes that elevate reliability, cost efficiency, and customer trust.

About the Role

In this fully remote position, you will serve as a cornerstone of our product development practice, shaping mechanical architecture for devices used in industrial, medical, and consumer applications. You will partner with cross-functional teams—electrical engineers, software developers, supply chain leads, and manufacturing partners—to ensure designs perform beautifully in the real world. Rather than producing isolated drawings, you’ll craft holistic systems that balance durability, serviceability, and scalability.

Day-to-day responsibilities span the full product lifecycle. You’ll interpret customer needs and market trends into design criteria, run analytical models, and iterate quickly using modern CAD tools. You’ll draft detailed 3D models and 2D drawings, define tolerances and material specifications, and support prototype builds and testing. When parts arrive, you’ll review first-article inspections, guide corrective actions, and shepherd revisions into stable production releases. Communication is central: you’ll document decisions, maintain clean revision histories, and keep stakeholders aligned through concise updates and visual clarity.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Mechanical Designers in this role ship work that manufacturing teams trust and customers value. You’ll reduce rework by clarifying intent early, improve margins by designing for efficient production, and strengthen brand reputation through consistent quality. You’ll also mentor peers by sharing best practices in modeling standards, drawing conventions, and supplier collaboration. Over time, you’ll help define our mechanical design playbook, elevating team capability and product excellence.

Requirements

We seek disciplined designers who thrive with autonomy and care deeply about craftsmanship. While tools matter, mindset matters more: curiosity, precision, and accountability guide everything you do. Your experience should demonstrate the ability to take ambiguous problems and convert them into manufacturable, reliable hardware.

Core Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Proficiency in parametric CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, or Inventor) and industry-standard drawing practices (GD&T, ASME or ISO standards).
  • Experience designing for manufacturing and assembly across machining, injection molding, sheet metal, and extrusions.
  • Strong grasp of materials, fastening methods, seals, and thermal considerations relevant to electromechanical products.
  • Ability to interpret and create control plans, BOM structures, and engineering change processes.
  • Comfort with remote collaboration tools, clear written communication, and asynchronous workflows.
  • Prior exposure to testing, validation, and supplier quality processes is highly valued.

Preferred Background

While not required, experience in regulated industries—medical devices, robotics, or industrial automation—adds immediate leverage. Familiarity with tolerance stack-up analysis, mold flow basics, or design for reliability methods strengthens your impact. A portfolio showcasing real released products, complete with clear design intent and measurable results, distinguishes exceptional candidates.

Salary Range

$70,000 – $105,000 USD/year, commensurate with experience and scope of responsibility. Total compensation may include performance-based incentives tied to product milestones and team outcomes.

Benefits

We invest in sustainable performance and long-term growth. Our remote-first benefits are designed to support your health, focus, and career momentum.

Health and Wellness

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with multiple plan options. An annual wellness stipend supports ergonomic upgrades, vision care, and preventative health resources. Mental health benefits include counseling access and resilience-focused programs.

Work Environment and Flexibility

True remote flexibility across time zones, with core collaboration windows that respect deep work. We provide a home office stipend and annual learning budget for courses, certifications, and conferences. Quarterly team summits offer optional in-person connection without disrupting your preferred workflow.

Growth and Ownership

Clear career pathways with regular skill reviews and mentorship. You’ll have opportunities to lead design initiatives, influence standards, and rotate into special projects that expand your technical breadth. Transparent goal-setting aligns your growth with company milestones.

Stability and Belonging

Paid time off that encourages genuine rest, parental leave that respects life transitions, and holidays that honor diverse traditions. We foster inclusive collaboration through lightweight rituals, documentation-first culture, and thoughtful onboarding that sets you up to contribute quickly.

Why Remote Mechanical Design Matters Here

Remote work is not a compromise; it’s a strategic advantage. By decoupling talent from geography, we attract rigorous designers who prioritize outcomes over optics. You’ll sharpen communication, standardize processes, and build systems that scale. The result is hardware that launches on time, performs reliably, and earns trust in demanding environments.

If you’re ready to design with discipline, ship with confidence, and grow without borders, we invite you to explore this opportunity further. Learn how your expertise can shape products that outlast trends and deliver enduring value.
