About Parsyl:

Parsyl is an early-stage, venture-backed technology platform that was founded with the mission to improve health and save money by providing a better way to ensure the integrity of sensitive goods as they are shipped around the globe. We do this by combining proprietary sensing devices with powerful predictive data analytics to offer an unprecedented view of quality assurance and risk dynamics.  

If you get excited about being a team player and thinking about joining a company whose technology will help answer questions like: “Should I give this vaccine to a child?” and “Is this seafood safe to eat?”- we’re looking for you. 

Where you fit in:

 As an early member of a fast growing startup, you will lead the development of the mechanical and industrial design for Parsyl’s growing family of sensing and gateway devices. You are a good fit for this position if you have experience designing and building large scale, small form factor electronics and have a keen eye for detail.

What you’ll get to work on:

• Responsible for Solidworks design, verifying and validating activities of products from concept to product launch and through the sustaining phase.
• Work with small, diverse team to develop detailed mechanical component and system designs to optimize and continually develop new products or improve existing Parsyl devices.
• Work collaboratively with product, engineering, manufacturing and other stakeholders to understand device requirements.
• Design and conduct experiments to validate product performance, including design and prototyping of concepts for rapid testing and verification.
• Work with the Director of Manufacturing to coordinate with overseas manufacturing partners from tooling kick-off through production release.
• Collaborate with firmware and electrical engineers to finalize component and system designs.
• Mechanical design and documentation of electronic devices including (but not limited to):
  • IPXX rating, Injection-molded plastics, aluminum extrusions, electrical-mechanical interfaces, sheet metal and sheet metal painting techniques (powder coat and other), mylar overlays with adhesives, generating and using 3D mechanical modeling techniques and simulation tools.
  • Material selection for all mechanical and electrical-mechanical parts. 
  • Mechanical design and documentation for system regulatory compliance. 
  • Mechanical design and documentation for manufacturing assembly processes (DFM).
  • As deemed necessary or required, mechanical validation testing plan and as including but not limited to thermal cycling, drop testing, and vibration testing.
  • Developing labor and materials budgets, and identifying facility/test equipment needs. 
  • Work with ODM/JDM/CM Partners through product RFQs, onboarding, audits, on going development, and on DFM reviews and value engineering efforts to improve quality, reduce cost and deliver on time.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering
• Minimum five (5) years of experience in engineering
• Worked on small form factor electronics
• Developed high IP-rated devices (IP65+), especially for products that contain sensors (especially temperature and humidity)
• Experience designing parts and assemblies for injection molding
• Must have experience working with team members with electrical engineering and software development expertise and possess (or be capable of rapidly developing) the skills to function in a small project leadership role 
• Broad use and application of mechanical engineering principles, theories, concepts and techniques to solve problems
• Record of contributing to development of new designs and/or processes at all stages, from concept creation through launched product
• Experience with DFM and working with contract manufacturers from design through manufacturing
• Experience designing and conducting experiments to validate product performance, including designing and prototyping concepts for rapid verification
• Well organized, strong problem-solving skills, team-building mentality, customer-first attitude
• Self-starter in identifying what is critical to the success of a project
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills
