Mechanical Product Design Engineer, Ring Hardware
Amazon
Description
As a Mechanical Product Design Engineer, you will design, develop, and validate mechanical systems for Ring and Blink devices. You will lead complex technical projects, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative hardware solutions that delight our customers. You will also leverage AI tools and methodologies to enhance mechanical design processes and outcomes.
Key job responsibilities
• Lead mechanical design projects from concept through production
• Create and optimize 3D CAD models and mechanical assemblies
• Develop detailed engineering drawings with proper GD&T
• Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes for product requirements
• Design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost optimization
• Conduct structural, thermal, and vibration analyses
• Develop mechanical test plans and validate designs through prototyping
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical issues
• Collaborate with industrial design, electrical, and manufacturing teams
• Document designs, test results, and technical specifications
• Evaluate new materials and manufacturing technologies for future products
• Manage relationships with external vendors and manufacturing partners
• Apply AI tools and techniques to optimize mechanical designs and processes
• Collaborate with data scientists to develop AI-driven solutions for mechanical engineering challenges
A day in the life
You will work closely with Product Marketing, Industrial Design, Electrical Engineering, and the ME team to deliver high-volume consumer hardware. You will collaborate with vendors from concept through production ramp, using rapid prototyping and simulation tools to validate ideas before tooling.
You will balance strategic design decisions with hands-on engineering work, including prototyping, teardown analysis, reviewing factory samples, and validating fixes. Your responsibilities span material selection, architecture development, manufacturing challenges, quality, and field performance. You will visualize solutions quickly, sketch concepts, and either execute the CAD work or lead contract engineers to complete it.
