Mechanical Engineer

About the Role

At frog we are united by our shared passion for outcomes that transform the human experience. We accomplish these outcomes by taking on complex challenges, big asks, and things that have never been done before. We look beyond point solutions and apply design to the creation of new strategies, systems, and—in some cases—entirely new businesses. We know that takes all types of people. We believe that diverse backgrounds and experiences create a stronger frog. Our work is transformational because our people are extraordinary.

frogs are analytical and artistic, conservative and unconventional, technical and whimsical. We look for hybrid talents and build teams around divergent expertise, which allows us to solve problems and uncover opportunities in unique ways. frogs are some of the best talent in the world, and together we advance the human experience through design. Working at frog means being empowered to make your mark on every project, in your studio, your community—and the world at large.

Responsibilities

• Deliver innovative mechanical design solutions for all phases of product development, from brainstorming and evaluating product concepts through designing for manufacturability and ensuring production reflects design intent.
• Plan, prioritize, and deliver mechanical engineering activities autonomously within interdisciplinary projects.
• Lead client conversations, providing articulate recommendations and framing product trade-offs to guide client choices.
• Serve as the backbone of projects from beginning to end, often acting as an individual contributor, mentor, and guide for junior colleagues.
• Contribute to business development through proposal-writing and pitches.
• Fully engineer a product from idea to production, evaluating and communicating conflicting project requirements beyond mechanical design.
• Apply lateral thinking and novel solutions to address challenges, even if they increase your responsibilities.
• Balance numerous constraints to drive the best and most appropriate design for the client, system, and full context.
• Collaborate effectively with frogs, clients, suppliers, and others.
• Execute core engineering tasks, such as 3D CAD modeling, analysis, and documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or similar.
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design and documentation, primarily in consumer electronics and similar products.
• Advanced solid and surface modeling skills with 3D software (SolidWorks preferred).
• Experience collaborating in multifunctional teams as the mechanical design lead.
• Knowledge of requirements and design constraints for common manufacturing processes such as injection molding, sheet metal stamping, machining, and casting.
• Experience and knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) for both high and low volume products.
• Ability to prepare and manage vendor-ready documentation packages, including 3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, and assembly instructions.
• Experience and knowledge of prototyping techniques (3D printing, casting, rapid tooling, etc.).
• Hands-on electronics and firmware prototyping skills leveraging off-the-shelf hobbyist components, dev kits, etc.

Nice to Have

• Experience working across diverse environments, including startups, corporate organizations, and consulting firms.
• Exposure to product qualification, regulatory compliance, and quality management standards.
• Experience with advanced mechanical design, engineering analysis, and reliability methodologies.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes, supplier collaboration, and product commercialization activities.
• Knowledge of electronic enclosure design, thermal management, and electromechanical system integration.
• Academic, professional, or life experiences outside of engineering that bring unique perspectives and innovative problem-solving approaches.
