About the role
- Specter's mission is to help automate the physical world.
- Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments. Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational
Responsibilities
- Hands on prototype building to accelerate product development.
- Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments.
- Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics.
- Specter is hiring a hands-on mechanical engineer to design products that will expand our product portfolio.
- This individual will own subsystem design and development from concept to production.
- This individual will collaborate with electrical engineers, manufacturing, supply chain, and test teams to deliver a performant, scalable, and validated design to the field.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent.
- 3+ years of experience designing, testing, and fielding high volume products.
- Experience in doing tolerance analysis for prototyping and mass production.
- Hands on experience with tests (shock, vibe, thermal, EMC ).
- Experience designing for different manufacturing methods including machining, injection molding, casting, and sheet metal parts.
- Experience or exposure to EE and RF systems and packaging of pcba components and antenna elements.
- Experience in ECO, BOM and deviation process management.
- Experience in using gd&t to draft drawings for manufacturing.
- Design Tool Proficiency:
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and being scrappy.
- Demonstrated experience designing tightly integrated products that live in harsh, outdoor environments (IP67, MILSTD810G/H or higher).
- Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral).
- Experience with coupled thermal analysis, design, and simulation for high density power dissipation. Preferred qualifications include experience with designing thermal solutions for air and liquid cooling.
- Experience with thermal, structural and modal analysis including first order modeling. Experience with FMEA (Ansys or similar) preferred.
- Proficient with Solidworks or equivalent.
- Proficient with Ansys Thermal and Structural analysis tools.
Nice to have
- Solidworks preferred (our current 3d software).
- ANSYS Multiphysics simulation.
- Familiarity with ECAD integration.
- Experience with coupled thermal analysis, design, and simulation for high density power dissipation.
- include experience with designing thermal solutions for air and liquid cooling.
- Experience with thermal, structural and modal analysis including first order modeling.
- Experience with FMEA (Ansys or similar) preferred.
Benefits
- We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.
