Mechanical Engineer, Glove Platform

Hardware · San Francisco Bay Area · On-site · Full-time · $130k – $220k + equity

Own the mechanical design of the Ditto glove - sensors, enclosures, fit across XS–L, durability in the field. Take it from prototype to mass production.

What you'll do

  • Drive mechanical design and integration of the glove enclosure, including the sensor PCBAs, fingertip transducers, battery, and wire routing.
  • Carry assemblies through the full lifecycle: concept, prototyping, validation, production ramp.
  • Analyze tolerance stack-ups, materials, sealing for water resistance, and durability under repeated wear.
  • Partner with electrical, firmware, and ML teams so signal quality survives mechanical compromise.
  • Maintain 3D CAD, GD&T drawings, and assembly instructions for in-house and contract manufacturers.
  • Apply DFM/DFA principles for scalable, cost-effective production.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • 3+ years of mechanical design work that reached high-volume production.
  • Strong 3D CAD proficiency (Onshape, Solidworks, NX, or similar).
  • First-principles fluency: materials, injection molding, machining, sealing, fasteners.
  • Hands-on prototyping and testing experience.

Nice to have

  • Wearables or consumer electronics background.
  • Familiarity with sensor integration (IMU, flex, pressure, thermal).
  • Experience with international suppliers and FAI/PPAP processes.
