Mechanical Engineer-OEM

About the Role

We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who brings a strong foundation in mechanical or manufacturing engineering and thrives in a customer-facing, product-driven role. This is a unique opportunity for someone who understands how things are made—but is equally comfortable engaging with clients, coordinating across departments, and driving products from idea to mass production.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end mechanical component lifecycle—from concept validation through to mass production—focused on enclosures and structural parts.

• Act as a technical liaison between internal teams (design, procurement, sales) and external stakeholders (customers, suppliers, factories).

• Collaborate with clients to define product requirements, ensuring feasibility across design, cost, and manufacturing capabilities.

• Support business development teams by offering technical insights during customer meetings, RFQ responses, and project scoping.

• Translate technical needs into action plans, guiding suppliers and contract manufacturers to align with quality, cost, and timeline expectations.

• Perform mechanical feasibility assessments including Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews.

• Oversee supplier coordination, particularly for processes such as CNC machining, metal forming, die-casting, and surface finishing.

• Contribute to pricing strategies by analyzing material costs, process efficiencies, and competitive benchmarks.

• Lead or support new product introduction (NPI) activities, ramp-up phases, and factory readiness initiatives.

• Stay up to date on manufacturing trends, technologies, and customer needs across consumer electronics and related sectors.
