We are seeking a highly motivated and hands-on Mechanical Engineer to join our growing team. In this exciting and challenging role, you will contribute to the development of next-generation EEG device systems engineered for usability, manufacturability, and large-scale production. You will play an important role in designing and refining mechanical subsystems, developing prototypes and proof-of-concept builds, and ensuring product quality through DFM, GD&T, and root-cause analyses. You will also support ongoing product maintenance, including troubleshooting mechanical issues in production and post-production, and implementing design improvements to enhance reliability and performance.

As a mechanical engineer, you’ll focus on delivering high-quality, reliable products by collaborating with cross-functional teams across design, research, manufacturing, and quality throughout the full product lifecycle. You will contribute to product ideation, development, integration verification, and manufacturing. Additionally, you will document design and production processes in accordance with applicable product development procedures, quality, and regulatory requirements.
Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, but we also have in-person office hubs located in Boston and New York.

What success looks like:

• Develop and maintain hardware in accordance with Beacon’s QMS.
• Perform design, development, and analysis of mechanical subsystems.
• Maintain existing Bills of Materials, drawings, documentation, and overall design configurations using CAD and PLM tools.
• Perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical issues arising during production or in the field.
• Create visual mockups and proof-of-concept builds that connect early ideas to working prototypes.
• Conduct tolerance stack-up and DFM analyses as part of the design transfer to manufacturing.
• Support system-level test activities.

What you will bring:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• Work Experience (post-graduate): 5+ years of professional engineering experience with a BS degree or 3+ years of professional engineering experience with an MS degree.
• Experience designing within cross-functional engineering teams.
• Ability to perform engineering analyses in 2D and 3D.
• Fluency in SolidWorks.
• Strong analytical background, with a detailed understanding of mechanical design for injection molding.
• Effective critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Preferably, experience with GD&T, mastery being considered a strong advantage.
• Preferably, experience with industrial design and UX design.
• Preferably, knowledge of design controls and regulations for medical devices.
• Preferably, experience with wearables or other products featuring fabrics and elastomers.
