About the role
- We're hiring a Product Design Engineer to help shape the physical form of our AI-powered devices.
- You'll work across the full product development cycle - concept sketches, CAD modeling, prototyping, and DFM - collaborating with electrical and ML engineers to design enclosures and mechanisms that accommodate complex sensor arrays, thermal systems, and compact compute modules.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design of core hardware (enclosures, structural components, flex assemblies, interconnects) from concept to production
- Define and own specifications, tolerances, material selections, and 3D CAD across processes like injection molding, die casting, stamping, and CNC machining
- Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) with manufacturing partners from early concept through production builds
- Use tolerance analysis, FEA, and DOE's to validate designs and resolve failure modes pre-assembly
- Collaborate with Industrial Design, Electrical Engineering, Acoustic Engineering, Reliability & Operations to unify design considerations (functionality, thermal management, human factors, reliability, cost, and aesthetics)
- Build functional prototypes in-house and travel to manufacturing facilities to support builds and resolve issues
- Comfortable with hands-on prototyping and external partners
- Proven ability to balance mechanical, electrical, and industrial design trade-offs at the system level
- Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence.
- We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines.
Requirements
- Bachelor's in mechanical or product design engineering (or similar)
- 7+ years shipping consumer hardware from concept to mass production
Nice to have
- Experience with in-field failure analysis
- Experience integrating complex sensors including microphones & cameras
- Experience integrating displays, audio modules etc.
- The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
- This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
- Deep fluency in mechanical CAD (NX preferred), strong GD&T, tolerance analysis, dimensional management, and statistical software (JMP)
Compensation
- The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $120,000 - $300,000 annually.
- The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
