About the role

Mechanical Design Engineer role on Paradromics’ Product Development team in Austin, TX, focusing on delivering mechanical designs for a brain-computer interface platform from concept through fabrication and implementation using SolidWorks.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, tooling, and fixtures to support product development, testing, manufacturing, and general engineering activities.
  • Own mechanical design projects from initial requirements and concept development through detailed CAD modeling, drawing release, fabrication, and physical implementation.
  • Create and maintain accurate SolidWorks models, assemblies, and engineering drawings, applying tolerancing, GD&T, and DFM principles.
  • Translate engineering requirements and open-ended technical problems into practical mechanical designs that meet functional, dimensional, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Collaborate with engineers, technicians, machinists, fabricators, manufacturers, and suppliers to select materials and fabrication methods and ensure designs can be manufactured and implemented successfully.
  • Design fixtures and tooling for assembly, testing, inspection, and other workflows to improve repeatability and efficiency.
  • Evaluate prototypes and fabricated parts, identify design issues, and iterate on mechanical solutions based on testing and stakeholder feedback.
  • Manage multiple design projects and competing priorities while delivering high-quality designs and documentation on schedule.
  • Build and maintain knowledge of existing mechanical designs, tooling, fixtures, and assemblies to improve continuity and establish sustainable internal capabilities.
  • Support continuous improvement of mechanical design practices, documentation, and workflows across the Product Development team.

Qualifications

  • - Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related engineering discipline; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
  • - 2–6 years of professional mechanical design experience, with strong proficiency in SolidWorks or comparable 3D CAD software.
  • - Demonstrated experience with complex part modeling, assemblies, engineering drawings, and iterative mechanical design.
  • - Experience designing mechanical components, assemblies, tooling, or fixtures based on engineering requirements or open-ended technical problems.
  • - Strong understanding of mechanical design fundamentals, including tolerances, fits, fasteners, materials, mechanisms, and design for manufacturability.
  • - Experience creating and interpreting engineering drawings, including GD&T.
  • - Demonstrated ability to take designs from CAD through fabrication and physical implementation, incorporating feedback from machinists, fabricators, manufacturers, or suppliers.
  • - Ability to independently own mechanical design projects, manage competing priorities, and deliver accurate, manufacturable designs on schedule.
  • - Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to maintain organized CAD models and documentation.
  • - Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering, manufacturing, technician, and supplier teams.
  • - Practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving and iterative design to achieve manufacturable solutions.
