Senior Product Design Engineer

Overview

Senior Product Design Engineer to design the user-facing mechanical parts of outdoor EV chargers and products, from field research and concept through to production, working with Industrial Design, tool makers and suppliers.

What you'll do

• Spend time in the field watching how drivers, station operators and service technicians use the products, and turn what you see into design requirements.
• Design the parts people touch: connector holsters, handles, doors, cable management, displays and status lights.
• Make the product comfortable, intuitive and hard to misuse: easy to grip, clear feedback, one obvious way to do it right.
• Make the product last outdoors: weatherproofing, durable materials and finishes, and the testing to prove it.
• Make the product quick to assemble and easy to service.
• Take designs from concept to production parts, working closely with Industrial Design, tool makers and suppliers.
• Lead design decisions, mentor junior engineers, and work across electronics, manufacturing, quality and service.

What you'll need

• Mechanical or product design engineering degree.
• 6–9 years of experience.
• Products you designed and took to production that people use every day, with evidence of what users thought and what you changed because of it.
• Strong plastic and sheet metal part design.
• Hands-on experience with suppliers and tooling.
• Experience designing outdoor or weatherproof products.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred).
• The judgement to push back when a cost cut makes the product worse to use.

Nice to have

• Experience in EV charging, automotive, appliances, power tools or outdoor equipment.
• User research or usability testing.
• Lighting design.
