Responsibilities

We're looking for a Product Design (Mechanical Engineering) co-op to join our team. In the day-to-day, you will be responsible for working on the mechanical aspects of the design of products based on thorough feasibility, design, and cost studies encompassing enclosure architecture, materials selection, thermal management, sealing, etc. We have a tremendous amount of telemetry and access to customers that help guide our design process. You will work directly with our customers to ensure we lead the industry with our product design. We run a collaborative process working closely with Product Management, EE, FW, EPM, NPI, and Hardware leadership to make excellent tradeoffs and choices. Throughout this process, you'll share your expertise with other engineers. The US and Taiwan PD teams are supported by the Supply Chain team, laboratories, JDM design resources, and a growing supply base. You will work closely with these internal and external partners to achieve our objectives.
This role will be held at our San Francisco office. Co-ops are required to be in the office Tuesdays to Thursdays and remote work days on Mondays and Fridays. As part of the co-op program, we do provide relocation and housing support for the duration of the co-op. To be eligible for this role, you must be attending a university that supports full-time work as part of a 6-month co-op OR attend a university that will allow you to take 2 quarters or one semester off to work a co-op. Please do not apply if you are unable to commit to the full duration of this co-op. We are looking for this co-op to join us from January - June 2027. At this time, we are not accepting first-year co-op students. Ideally, this student is in their junior year of school as an undergraduate student and has previous internship and/or co-op experience.

Conduct research: Stay informed of the latest materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical technologies from top suppliers and manufacturing partners.
Know the system: Evaluate system feature tradeoffs and create the system specifications for development with product management and cross-functional engineering teams.
Prototype: Build proof-of-concept models using 3D printing, CNC machining, or quick-turn fabrication for evaluating concepts or jump-starting product development.
Design: Take a concept from industrial design intent through detailed CAD, part and assembly design, and production drawings, spanning enclosures, wiring harnesses and cable assemblies, and product packaging; either on your own or navigate the process with JDM resources.
