Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Consumer Electronics
Location: Richmond Hill, Ontario
Employment Type: Full-time
Work Arrangement: Hybrid, with regular in-person work in the Richmond Hill area
Salary: CAD $105,000–$135,000 per year, depending on experience
Tamno is developing high-performance consumer electronics and computer peripherals with an emphasis on engineering quality, precision, reliability, and thoughtful product design.
We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with direct professional experience developing small, tightly integrated consumer electronics. This is a hands-on product-development role spanning mechanical design, simulation, prototyping, validation, tooling, and production.
This is a senior-level position and is not intended for new graduates or entry-level candidates. Direct professional experience with small consumer electronics or similarly compact electromechanical products is required.
The successful candidate will work closely with our electrical, firmware, product, and manufacturing teams and will have substantial ownership of mechanical engineering decisions from development through production.
Responsibilities
Own mechanical design and development of compact consumer-electronics products and assemblies
Develop detailed 3D CAD designs suitable for prototype and production manufacturing
Perform structural analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) and use simulation results to guide engineering decisions
Design components and assemblies involving injection-molded plastics, metals, composite materials, fasteners, PCBs, switches, and other tightly integrated components
Perform dimensional and tolerance analysis for assemblies where small variations materially affect product performance
Develop and refine precision mechanical and tactile mechanisms
Balance structural, dimensional, ergonomic, durability, assembly, and manufacturing requirements
Develop prototypes and engineering samples and perform hands-on evaluation and mechanical testing
Diagnose mechanical issues involving tolerances, deformation, fit, assembly, material behaviour, and production variation
Prepare engineering drawings, specifications, tolerance requirements, and manufacturing documentation
Work directly with manufacturing partners in China throughout tooling, validation, pilot production, and production ramp
Review designs for DFM and DFA with manufacturers and tooling suppliers
Review injection-mold tooling proposals, mold-trial samples, dimensional reports, first-article parts, and production samples
Evaluate manufacturing and tooling feedback and determine appropriate engineering changes
Resolve production issues in collaboration with suppliers and manufacturing partners
Must-have qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, such as a BEng, BASc, BSME, or equivalent university-level engineering degree
Minimum 5 years of full-time professional mechanical design or product-development experience after graduation
Minimum 3 years of direct professional experience designing small consumer electronics, compact electronic products, or similarly tightly integrated electromechanical assemblies
Experience taking a compact physical product from mechanical design through prototyping, tooling, validation, and manufacturing
Strong 3D CAD capability and experience creating production-ready mechanical designs
Practical professional experience using finite element analysis (FEA) for structural analysis and design decisions
Strong experience with injection-molded plastic component design
Strong understanding of DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, tolerance stack-ups, material selection, mechanical interfaces, and production validation
Experience developing products where mechanical components, PCBs, switches, fasteners, and other components must fit within tightly constrained assemblies
Ability to troubleshoot subtle mechanical and dimensional problems through analysis and physical testing
Experience communicating technical requirements and engineering changes with manufacturers or suppliers
Ability to work hybrid in the Richmond Hill, Ontario area and regularly work hands-on with physical prototypes and engineering samples
Preferred qualifications
Direct experience with computer peripherals, input devices, controllers, handheld electronics, wearables, or similarly compact consumer products
Experience designing precision tactile mechanisms involving switches, buttons, springs, flexures, or similar components
Experience with carbon fiber, fiber-reinforced polymers, magnesium, aluminum, or other lightweight structural materials
Experience working directly with manufacturers and tooling vendors in China
Experience reviewing injection molds, mold-trial components, and dimensional inspection results
Experience resolving dimensional variation, warpage, assembly, or tolerance issues in molded components
Experience with high-volume consumer-electronics manufacturing
Experience establishing production tolerances and quality-control criteria
Familiarity with CNC machining, additive manufacturing, composite manufacturing, and rapid prototyping
Experience correlating FEA predictions with prototype or production testing
Who we're looking for
This role is best suited to an engineer who has worked directly on small physical electronic products and is comfortable moving between CAD, simulation, prototypes, tooling, physical testing, and manufacturing.
Experience with sophisticated engineering projects in other fields is valuable, but for this position we specifically require demonstrated experience working with compact consumer-electronics or comparable small electromechanical assemblies.
