Job Summary
Ansync Labs bridges the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing. By maintaining an on-site production facility alongside our multidisciplinary engineering teams, we’ve replaced traditional hand-offs with a seamless, end-to-end development cycle. We are looking for an early to mid-career Mechanical Engineer who is ready to transition from just "doing tasks" to owning design.
At Ansync, our in-house design teams (Electrical, Mechanical, and Software) work steps away from our onsite production facility (Machine Shop and PCBA). You won’t just be staring at a CAD screen; you will be in the shop, learning to bridge the gap between a 3D model and a finished product. This role is perfect for an engineer who has a solid technical foundation but is itching for more autonomy and the chance to manage their own projects from concept to delivery.
Responsibilities
- Mechanical Design: Lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems and assemblies for robotics, industrial automation, and medical devices using Autodesk Inventor.
- End-to-End Project Ownership: Manage the full project lifecycle from concept through production. This includes driving timelines, identifying technical risks, and ensuring project momentum when cross-functional resources are limited.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with electrical and software engineering teams to solve integrated hardware/software challenges at the system level.
- In-House Prototyping: Transition designs into physical assets by utilizing on-site manufacturing resources; candidates are expected to engage with CNC programming and machine operation to accelerate iteration cycles.
- Technical Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive Bills of Materials (BOMs), detailed work instructions, and revision-controlled engineering changes to ensure high-quality production hand-offs.
- Process Management: Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in the development process to meet client deadlines and internal milestones.
Requirements
- Professional Experience: 0 to 5 years of experience in mechanical engineering, product development, or a high-intensity R&D environment.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong command of 3D CAD software; specific expertise in Autodesk Inventor is preferred.
- Manufacturing & DFM: Practical knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles. You should understand how to design parts optimized for CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing.
- Hands-on Prototyping: Demonstrated experience with hands-on prototyping. You are comfortable moving between a workstation and a shop environment to build, test, and iterate on physical hardware.
- Digital Workflow: Proven ability to manage documentation and team collaboration within the Google Workspace ecosystem.
- Execution & Autonomy: A "results-first" mindset with the demonstrated ability to maintain project momentum and drive tasks to completion, even when navigating competing priorities or resource constraints.
- Customer Management: Proactive in client interactions with the ability to confidently manage customer expectations regarding timelines, technical constraints, and project milestones without requiring constant oversight.
- Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills, with a talent for translating complex technical challenges into clear, actionable project steps.
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
