ROLE LEAD MECHANICAL ENGINEER

TEAM PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

HOURS FULL TIME

LOCATION COPENHAGEN

START DATE NOVEMBER 1ST 2024

The Product Development team is responsible for the full product development cycle, from an idea to mass production. They are a group of collaborative and self-driven team members, who hold a large cross-disciplinary understanding and ownership of tasks. They are there to make a real difference – for the products, for the team, and, of course, for the customers.

As our new Lead Mechanical Engineer, you hold a leading role in the mechanical development of our products in close collaboration with the entire Product Development team and our external partners in Asia. With your extensive product-oriented engineering experience, you will oversee all phases of the development process. From initial concepts to final mechanical assemblies, you will be the key executor, transforming innovative ideas into precise, mechanical assemblies.

From overseeing mechanical engineering (ME) concept assemblies to ensuring they meet Design for Manufacturing (DFM) standards, you will consult and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, partners, and suppliers to ensure a seamless transition from product concepting through execution and mass production, while maintaining high-quality standards. Your dedication and expertise will help us deliver an exceptional experience to our customers.

Okay, let’s make things a little more concrete. Here’s what we expect your daily life to look like:

• You will lead the mechanical development of new SOUNDBOKS projects.

• You will mature the industrial design of SOUNDBOKS products and accessories towards manufacturing, focusing on designing for cost and manufacturing feasibility.

• You will integrate and actively consider both hardware and acoustics into the mechanical design.

• You will undertake 2D/3D CAD design. This means maturing industrial design into a mechanically manufacturable product through prototyping and CAD modelling.

• You will build prototypes by hand in our workshop and order from outside to validate mechanical concepts, engineering and assemblies.

• You will manage the DFM in collaboration with our team in China, suppliers, and external consultants.

In order to become a success in this role, we believe that your profile should be aligned with the bullets listed below. However, we acknowledge that success can take many forms, so please do apply even if you don’t tick all the boxes.

• You carry a relevant degree, e.g. B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or higher.

• You’ve spent at least 5 years working on mechanical execution of products previously.

• Ideally, your mechanical engineering experience comes from another electronic consumer product, manufactured by third party contract manufacturers in Asia.

• You’ve worked with integration of electronics (incl. Wireless capabilities) into mechanics.

• You’re well familiar with plastic molding.

• Ideally, you’ve also worked with environmental tests and verification of mechanical parts.

• You hold a strong skillset in CAD modeling tools, e.g. Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor or similar. Ideally, you’re also familiar with Adobe Illustrator and Keyshot.

• Your colleagues say you’re structured, action-oriented and self-driven.

• You hold effective communication skills that help you collaborate with stakeholders both internally and externally.

Intrigued? At SOUNDBOKS you’ll find yourself a part of a community. We realize that growth is a process and we don’t expect you to go through it alone. Actually, we guarantee that you won’t have to. We work together in order to work smarter, we inspire each other to be better, and we never forget that every member of the team is responsible for our success.

So, if you’re tired of all of the noise in the job market, we’d love to hear from you. This may be the coolest job you ever have.
