Are you a creative problem‑solver who thrives on turning concepts into functional, high‑quality hardware? Our fast‑growing engineering studio is seeking a Remote Mechanical Designer to bring next‑generation products to life—all from the comfort of your home office.
Salary Range
Based on industry benchmarks for remote mechanical design talent, the annual compensation package ranges from $55,000 – $75,000 USD, plus performance‑based bonuses and a comprehensive benefits suite.
About the Role
As a Remote Mechanical Designer, you will collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including electrical engineers, industrial designers, and project managers—to develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and prototype specifications for consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial equipment. You’ll own the full design lifecycle, from concept sketches to manufacturing release, while leveraging the latest CAD tools and simulation software.
Key Responsibilities
- Create precise 3D models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or CATIA.
- Perform tolerance analysis, material selection, and design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews.
- Develop and iterate rapid prototypes with 3D printing, CNC machining, and sheet‑metal fabrication.
- Partner with suppliers to validate parts, conduct design reviews, and resolve production issues.
- Document design decisions, generate Bill of Materials (BOM), and maintain version control in PLM systems.
- Contribute to continuous‑improvement initiatives, sharing best practices and emerging technologies with the global team.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field.
- 3–5+ years of hands‑on experience designing mechanical components for consumer or industrial products.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or equivalent 3D CAD software (certification a plus).
- Strong understanding of GD&T, material properties, and manufacturing processes (injection molding, sheet metal, additive manufacturing).
- Excellent problem‑solving skills and the ability to translate abstract concepts into detailed, production‑ready designs.
- Self‑motivated remote worker with reliable high‑speed internet, a dedicated workstation, and a collaborative mindset.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills in English; experience working with distributed teams is preferred.
Benefits & Perks
- Fully Remote: Work from anywhere in the United States (or globally with appropriate work permits).
- Flexible schedule – set your own hours while meeting project milestones.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance with employer contribution.
- 401(k) plan with company match.
- Annual professional‑development stipend for courses, certifications, or conferences.
- Home‑office allowance for ergonomic furniture and equipment.
- Generous paid time off, sick days, and holidays.
- Company‑wide virtual socials, hackathons, and mentorship programs.
Why Join Our Team?
We are a boutique engineering studio that values creativity, autonomy, and impact. Every product you design will reach real customers, and you’ll be recognized for your contributions in a transparent, merit‑based culture. Our remote‑first philosophy means you’ll have the tools, trust, and support to excel without the constraints of a traditional office.
How to Stand Out
Show us a portfolio that demonstrates:
- Complex assemblies with clear documentation.
- Successful transition from prototype to mass production.
- Innovative use of materials or manufacturing techniques.
Include a brief case study highlighting a design challenge you solved, the tools you used, and the measurable results (cost reduction, weight savings, performance gains, etc.).
Next Steps
If you’re ready to shape the future of mechanical design from wherever you call home, submit your resume, portfolio, and a concise cover letter that tells us why remote work fuels your creativity.
