Mechanical Design Engineer at matic | LAYIQ

Parts you personally designed that are in production today, and you can explain every feature and why it's there
Fluency in at least one high volume process (injection molding, die casting, stamping, or metal injection molding) at the level of gate placement, draft, knit lines, sink, and warp, not just textbook definitions
Tolerance stack-ups you've run on assemblies you owned, including how you chose the datum scheme and what you did when the stack didn't close
GD&T you actually apply on drawings, not GD&T you recognize on someone else's
Solidworks proficiency deep enough that CAD is never the bottleneck
Working experience with PDM/PLM, ECOs, and quality systems
FEA used to make a decision, with an understanding of where the model stops being trustworthy
A debugging instinct: given a part failing in the field, you can reason from the failure mode back to the design decision that caused it
Comfort in a fast-paced startup where the answer is often "go build it and find out"
A technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent. Most people ready for this role have around 2+ years of professional design experience, but if you can demonstrate the above with less, apply anyway.
Engineering Culture at Matic
We're a small team building a hard product. The work doesn't sort itself into a clean design lane.
A normal month here includes concept work and CAD. It also includes an 8pm call with a supplier in Asia, a tolerance study nobody's excited to run, a test fixture you build with your own hands, a life test that keeps failing for boring reasons, a return unit you tear down to find out why a clip is cracking, a drawing you update for the fourth time, and a part you chase through customs because the line is down without it.
None of that is beneath the job. All of it is the job, and most of it is where you'll get good.
The engineers who do best here own their parts from the first sketch to the last field failure, including every unglamorous step in between. Concept and prototyping are the fun half. Reliability setups, supplier calls, tolerance work, and documentation are the half that tells you whether the fun half was any good. We keep them together on purpose, because that's how you build the judgment to design something that actually survives a home.
The same goes past your own scope. If a fixture in the lab is broken, if data needs cleaning, if a different subsystem is blocking the build, people here move toward it. Scope is how we plan the work, not how we decide what's ours.
That's the shape of the team we're building. Being excited about a particular kind of engineering is great and we want that. But the people who've done the most for this company are the ones who wanted Matic to win first and picked up whatever that took.
We'd love to hear from you if...
You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
You are passionate about learning outside your normal comfort zones
You love diagnosing complex technical issues
You take pride in details nobody else would notice
