What you need
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- Approximately 5 years of professional experience in mechanical design, with meaningful hands-on build, installation, or field-service exposure
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (Autodesk Inventor preferred) and experience with PDM software (Autodesk Vault preferred)
- Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes — machining, sheet metal, and mechanical assembly
- Demonstrated experience working with machine shops and contract manufacturers
- Practical electrical skills: soldering, wiring, and basic troubleshooting with a multimeter
Nice to have
- Experience with supplier quality tools and methods (FMEA, 8D, CAPA, PPAP, SPC) — familiarity is valued; certification is not expected
- Experience in thermal management and liquid cooling design
- Experience with opto-mechanical system design, optics, or lasers
- Experience with power electronics systems and infrastructure
- Experience with prototype fabrication and testing
Worth weighing
- The role is broad and hands-on, which may not suit those looking for specialized design work
- Requires business-level proficiency in both Japanese and English, which may limit applicants
- The position involves significant interaction with suppliers and contract manufacturers, which may require strong communication skills across cultures
