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
