Position : Lead Mechanical EngineerExperience:◦ B.Tech: 10–12 years◦ M.Tech / MS: 6–8 yearsDomain: Consumer Electronics / Wearables / Ultra-Precision Mechanical DesignLocation: Bommasandra, BangaloreRole Overview:We are looking for a Lead Mechanical Engineer to own the complete mechanical lifecycle of theMuse Ring One (and any future Muse products) — from post-industrial design handoff to massproduction, field reliability and leading existing team members and building talent whereverneeded.The Muse Ring represents an extreme engineering challenge: packing complex sensors, batteries,and other PCB components into a form factor with zero wasted space. This role requires deephands-on experience in miniaturisation, consumer-friendliness understanding, rigid-flexintegration, and high-volume manufacturing. You will be the bridge between Industrial Designand a shelf-ready product.Key Responsibilities – To lead the team and build capabilitiesto achieve below outcomes.1. Post-Industrial Design Ownership• Take ownership of designs after ID freeze and translate them into engineering-ready mechanical designs• Ensure design intent, aesthetics, ergonomics, and tolerances are preserved during engineering and production for all the SKUs2. Detailed Design & CAD• Create and own complex, master-model driven 3D CAD assemblies - Design for space-constrained assembly methods• Release manufacturing-ready 2D drawings with strict GD&T, tolerance stack-ups (worst-case and statistical), and critical-to-function dimensions, Tolerance stack-ups, Surface finish specifications, Material and coating callouts• Validate mechanical fit, stack-ups, and assembly clearances for: Sensors, PCBA, batteries, structural adhesives, fasteners etc.3. Materials, Finishing & Biocompatibility• Define surface finishes (PVD, Anodizing, Epoxy coatings) that balance RF transparency, cosmetic durability, and corrosion resistance against sweat, lotions and other commonchemicals• Collaborate with suppliers to achieve premium aesthetic finishes• Select and validate materials for 24/7 skin contact, ensuring compliance with biocompatibility standards4. DFM / DFA & Tooling Management• Lead DFM reviews CNC machining, and high-precision plastic molding, MIM etc• Tooling Strategy: Manage the complexity of multi-cavity tools across multiple ring sizes. Optimize family molds vs. discrete tools for cost and yield.5. Sealing, Reliability & Testing• Define and execute reliability test plans: Drop, crush, chemical resistance (Sanitizers, soaps), and sweat immersion, IP rating.• Lead Failure Analysis (FA) to resolve field failures.6. Assembly Process & Vendor Management• Develop precision assembly fixtures and curing processes for high-volume manufacturing lines.• Act as the primary technical lead for Manufacturing partners and tooling vendors till Golden samples are finalised and the requirements are handed over to supply chain team.7. Cross-Functional Leadership• Work closely with electronics team to ensure mechanical materials do not de-tune/interfere with electronic components, work with them to manage heat dissipation in a sealed, battery-powered device.• Mentor junior engineers and establish documentation standardsRequired Qualifications• B.Tech (Mechanical) with 10–12 years of experience OR M.Tech / MS (Mechanical) with6–8 years.• Experience shipping Consumer Electronics (Wearables, Wearables, or Mobile Phones etcor any other electronics product) to mass production.• Deep knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and metrology.• Experience managing Cosmetic Criteria (A-surface definitions) for premium products.• Knowledge and experience of working with vendors for moulding, casting, machining,tooling processes.• CAD: SolidWorks / NX (Surface modeling proficiency required).Preferred / Nice-to-Have• Specific experience designing small consumer products (due to similar density/sizeconstraints).• Understanding of medical device regulations.What Success Looks Like• Yield: High manufacturing yields across all ring sizes.• Durability: Zero field returns due to water ingress or cosmetic delamination.• Fit: Seamless integration of ID intent with functional hardware.• Leadership: A decisive technical leader who can resolve conflicts between Design,Engineering, and Manufacturing.
