- Assemble, analyze, and test performance of Teslasuit prototypes
- Manage contractor and supplier relationships, participate in vendor qualification, and support ramp-up to pilot and series production
- Provide input into EVT/DVT/PVT phases during product development
- Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, BOMs, test plans, version control records, and manufacturing packages
- Collaborate closely with electronics and textile engineers to ensure cohesive product integration
- Contribute to system architecture for modularity and manufacturability
- Work with quality and regulatory teams to ensure designs meet medical standards, including documentation for FDA submissions and ISO 13485 compliance
- Stay updated on emerging technologies and industry trends to propose innovative mechanical solutions
- Continuously optimize DFM and DFA strategies to reduce costs and simplify production
- Explore new materials, manufacturing techniques, and CAD/CAE tools for wearable product development
- Contribute to internal knowledge libraries, wikis, and version-controlled mechanical documentation
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a closely related field.
- Experience designing plastic parts for injection molding and working with various manufacturing technologies
- Hands-on experience with DFM/DFA analysis and iterative product development
- Practical experience managing suppliers and contractors for tooling, prototyping, and pilot runs
- Extensive experience in prototyping, machining, 3D printing, and working in lab/shop environments
- Strong skills in 3D modeling, assembly design, and drafting for manufacturing (SolidWorks preferred)
- Proficiency in mechanical design and analysis of high-precision assemblies
- Experience with CNC machining, laser cutting, and additive manufacturing
- Familiarity with motion simulation and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Experience using version control systems (e.g., Git)
- Strong command of written and spoken English (Level C1+)
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote environment
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Biomechanics, or Wearable Technology
- SolidWorks certifications or equivalent CAD/PLM training
- Injection molding design education or proven experience
- Experience transitioning prototypes to series manufacturing
- Cross-functional team leadership experience
- Knowledge of materials for wearables, such as flexible PCBs, textiles, elastomers, and composites
- Familiarity with regulatory standards for medical devices (FDA, ISO 13485)
Working Conditions
- This position is located in Prague, Czech Republic and requires regular travel to our Prague R&D office
- Ability to work in a lab environment, including occasional use of lab equipment for testing and debugging
- The role may involve some travel to support remote locations
- Flexibility to work outside standard business hours may be necessary for critical issues or planned maintenance
What we offer
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
- Opportunities for professional development and career growth
- Collaborative and innovative work environment
- Flexible working arrangements
