Senior Mechanical Engineer

• Help Each Other Win—AC values winning as a team over personal recognition. Go out of your way to help a teammate and the team succeed.
• Own It—Don’t wait for someone else to clear the way. Recognize opportunities to improve, and when obstacles arise, join forces to overcome them.
• Be Cool—Be self-aware, maintain a positive attitude, prioritize emotional intelligence, and maintain composure under pressure.

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a similar degree from an accredited university or equivalent experience in a related field. MSME is a plus.
• 6+ years of mechanical design engineering experience, including early-stage conceptual design, detailed design for low-to-mid volume manufacturing and assembly, knowledge of the state of the art of sensing paradigms for ergonomic and anthropometric evaluation.
• 3+ years of systems-level engineering experience with complex integrated electro-mechanical assemblies.
• Proficiency with general ME CAD tools: SolidWorks, NX, or Creo Parametric.
• Up to 20% of travel may be required between locations.
• Must possess a valid U.S. driver’s license.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
• Background checks are required.

• Experience with FEA simulation and analysis methods for thermal analysis, tolerance analysis, test and measurement data analysis.
• Understanding of biosensing or equivalent analog electrical systems.
• Familiar with thermodynamics/heat-transfer and how that affects consumer product comfort.
• Experience within the Human Factors domain and biomechanics research.
• Experience with manufacturing techniques such as injection-molding, DMLS 3D Printing, CNC machining, and soft goods casting for materials such as silicones, plastics, metals, etc.
• Familiar with 3D human scan data to analyze and describe morphological variations.
• Ability to leverage and manage external teams (CM/Vendors) to maximize throughput and efficiency for complex component fabrication.
• Highly organized and ability to present data using visual tools (graphs, animations, google docs, etc.) in clear and informative ways to the immediate team.
• Capable of managing large-scale R&D projects from ideation to implementation.
• Documenting best practices, SOPs, and validating design intent.
• Proficiency in presenting engineering designs, proposals, and reports.

• Lead rapid-prototyping efforts that will deliver multiple iterations of concepts in a short period of time.
• Drive end-to-end discussions on system assembly design, prototyping, equipment & tooling needs for high precision ergonomic evaluation, and compliance requirements.
• Apply engineering knowhow in the areas of thermodynamics, precision mechanism design and motion control.
• Ability to execute multiple streams of work simultaneously and independently balance and prioritize project workload to ensure success against timeline constraints.
• Collaborate with HW Engineering, Human Factors, and R&D teams to identify and solve complex early-stage challenges related to ergonomics, employing mechanical and electro-mechanical design and fabrication skills.
• Design and build platforms and tools that can be leveraged across the hardware organization that build upon your expertise in ergonomic and anthropometric considerations for product realization.
• Own or contribute to the investigation and technology maturation of various ergonomic design approaches within AR/VR products.
• Effectively employ 3D computer aided design (CAD), 2D sketching, and advanced prototyping techniques to clearly communicate complex design ideas.

• Flexible work hours and locations (Bothell, WA, Lake Oswego, OR, McMinnville, OR, and Corvallis, OR).
• Medical, dental, life, and disability insurance; health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), employee assistance programs (EAP), and dependent savings accounts (DSA).
• Paid leave for maternity and paternity for birth or adoption.
• Generous PTO for vacation, sick, community service, and 8 paid holidays.
• In-office snacks, coffee, and sponsored lunches.
• 401k retirement plan with 3% employer contribution.
• Access to hands-on mentorship to advance professional skills and an educational reimbursement.
