- Lead user experience reviews and technical feasibility reviews.
- Document and communicate your designs to ensure accurate implementation.
- Manage expectations on deliverables and schedules, identifying risks and communicating these to the team.
- Collaborate with external vendors throughout the development cycle as a technical owner of the vendor's output
- Challenge assumptions, identify the critical problems, prioritize those problems, recommend solutions, and implement those solutions. All of these pieces are needed to develop an innovative product.
- Drive collaborate with diverse expertise (product, design, software, hardware, ops, clinical) to solve full-stack problems with real-world constraints
- Work with amazing people from IDEO, Amazon, Nvidia, Google X, Airbnb, Uber, and NASA JPL. Everyone is passionate, smart, and hard working, and we bring our whole selves to work.
- As needed, travel to remote offices, test facilities, engineering partners, or manufacturing partners
- You are deeply mission-driven and you believe there's more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed on photos, although we concede those are cute

- Familiarity with (and appreciation for) the product development process (early concept definition through mass production).
- Knowledge of diverse materials (metal, plastic, composites, soft goods) and manufacturing techniques (machining, molding, thermoforming, bending, secondary finishes).
- Strong analytical skills/engineering fundamentals including statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, FEA and statistical tolerances.
- Fluency in 3D CAD (any modeling package), including resolving tolerance stack-ups and interference issues in 3D models.
- Fluency in 2D drawings, including basic GD&T knowledge.
- Proficiency in a variety of processes and hands-on skills to fabricate prototypes.
- Strong problem solving skills, with experience in failure analysis, root cause investigation, and DOE creation
