Here at Mindtribe, we help our clients bring new
things into the world. However, we’ve learned
from experience that building the right thing
requires a design methodology and a skill set
which can be a tad uncommon. Along with serious
engineering skills, we share a strong empathy
with our clients and their customers. We work
hard to figure out how to validate key product
features fast and early to save time while
yielding a product that will be embraced. And we
try to do it better every time. We’re looking for
experience mechanical engineers that can not only
architect and implement detailed mechanical
designs, but can also work closely with clients
and other engineers to make sure the end product
is what we actually needed. Team players are a
must with a strong interest in continual team and
methodology improvement. And, perhaps most
importantly, our engineers must have a passion to
help our clients make their products a success.
Here are some specifics for what we’re seeking:

5 years in product development, ideally in
consumer electronics or connected devices, with
multiple examples of personally taking designs
from concept through to manufacturing ramp. Consulting experience is a plus.

Recent experience designing complex integrated
hardware assemblies. Examples we would be very
interested in include those which combine
mechanical, aesthetic, and user interaction
requirements such as IoT products, wearables, or medical devices.

Passion to help clients deevelop successful new
products and to continually improve the process of product development.

Solid ccommunication skills: presentation, verbal and written.

Experience helping to lead mechanical teamss and mentoring junior members.

• Experience managing project schedules, budgets,
and trade-offs; communicating and prioritizing
project deliverables to internal and external stakeholders.

Experience coollaborating with industrial
designers and user experience designers to
incorporate their input into a product’s design.

Sufficient understanding of electrical and
firrmware realities to help inform integrated
design decisions. Advanced skills are a plus.

Experiience working with contract manufacturers
before and during production ramp, remotely and on-site, domestic and overseas.

Strong attention to detail and a dedication to craftsmmanship.

A desire to work with like-minded colleagues to
build the best product development team around.

If the above sounds like you, we want to talk. In

you and Mindtribe would be a great match. Apply here: http://grnh.se/6pu7df
