Senior Product Designer

This role is for one of Zepcruit's clients.

• Oversee the mechanical and industrial design development of specific programs within our self-service hardware portfolio (SolidWorks).
• Drive DFM/DFA decisions across semi-complex assemblies involving sheet metal, machined parts, structural plastics, and electro-mechanical components.
• Review and produce detailed 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, GD&T documentation, and tolerance analyses.
• Rapidly prototype concepts using in-house and outsourced resources: 3D printing (FDM/SLA), CNC, and low-volume tooling.
• Engage with our in-house fabrication supply chain to optimize design intent for production — identifying cost- saving opportunities, part consolidation, and process improvements.
• Ensure proper revision control, ECOs, and design documentation throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Drive technical design reviews, collaborate with other team members, and serve as a subject matter expert inmaterials, process selection, and system integration.
• Contribute to overall product design ethos, balancing form and function with operational efficiency and robust serviceability.

Who You are

• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical engineering/industrial design/product design, ideally with experience in kiosks, interactive terminals, or consumer/commercial electronics.
• Expert-level knowledge of DFM and DFA principles, with a track record of bringing products to market at scale.
• Deep familiarity with manufacturing processes such as sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, die casting, CNC machining, and surface finishing.
• Experience interfacing directly manufacturers and suppliers during tooling, pilot runs, and production ramp-up.
• Knowledge and proficiency in Solidworks, PLM systems, and basic FEA or tolerance simulation tools. Proficiency in additional tools such as Keyshot, Rhino, Blender etc. a plus.
• Strong grasp of materials science, part tolerancing, fastener selection, and thermal/structural considerations.
• Excellent communication skills — from detailed drawings to supplier handoff packages and executive design presentations.
• An appreciation for great design that serves function and brand equally — able to collaborate across disciplines to drive unified product vision
