The Sr.Advanced MechanicalEngineer is atechnicalleaderwithin theAdvancedEngineeringteam, responsible fordeveloping, analyzing, and maturing complex mechanical systemsfor next-generation tools.This role focuses on transforming early concepts and emerging technologiesinto robust, feasible mechanical solutionsthrough advanced analysis, prototyping, and testing.

Thisposition operatesupstream of thetraditional product development processwith an emphasis ontechnicalinnovationandrisk reduction.The Sr. Advanced Mechanical Engineer will lead mechanical design strategyusingfirst-principlesanalysis,math models,andsimulations,whilealsobuildingprototypesandvalidatedesignsthroughtestingtoachieveproduct-ready solutions.The AdvancedEngineeringteam is highly collaborative, deeply hands-on, and driven by curiosity and learning as we develop new and innovative outdoor products.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Leadadvancedmechanicalsystemdesignfornext-generationoutdoor products

• Own mechanical feasibility, performancevalidation,and technical risk reduction for advanced projects

• Develop and evaluate mechanisms, structures, and integrated systems using first-principles analysis, FEA, CFD, and physical testing

• Translate early concepts intotechnically maturedesigns suitable for transition into product development

• Build, test, and iterate functional prototypes to validate durability, performance, and manufacturability

• Definesystem requirements,useroperationmethods, anddesign trade-offs

• Partner withProduct Management,Engineering,Industrial Design,andother cross-functional teams toensurebalanced technical solutions

• Guide junior engineers through complex mechanical design challenges and best practices

• Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to engineering leadership and other stakeholders 

• Contribute tobudget, schedule, and qualityplanning to supportkeyadvanced engineeringmilestones

Qualifications:

• B.S. in Mechanicalorrelated Engineering disciplines;advanced degree a plus 

• 5+yearsof experience inproductadvanced engineering, concept maturation, or innovationinconsumer products, automotive, or adjacent industries

• Strong proficiencywith3DCAD (Solidworks, NX, etc.)and rapid prototyping

• Excellentmechanical design fundamentals with experience in mechanisms,geardesign,structures,engineering materials,and manufacturing processes

• Proven track record ofoverseeing and evaluating the design of consumer products from start to finish is a major plus

• Experiencebuildingprototypes, developing test plans, and definingacceptance criteria

• Ability to couple first-principles analysis with advanced tools such as FEA, CFD, andAI/MLto guide mechanical design

• Ability to work on multiple projects invarious stages of development simultaneously

• Workwith a high degree of autonomy, leadership, and proactivity

• Experience with measurement equipment for vibration & sound is a plus

• Willingness to travel ~5-10% (domestic/international)
