Product Design Mechanical Engineer

What success looks like

• Take early product ideas and turn them into well-resolved, manufacturable hardware across multiple product lines.
• Your designs reflect a high level of care. They are reliable in the field, straightforward to install, and thoughtfully constructed.
• Deployment engineers understand them quickly. Internal teams trust them.
• Work across disciplines to balance form, function, and feasibility. Catch issues early, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help the team move from concept to production with confidence.
• Push for better outcomes, not just acceptable ones. Over time, your work contributes to a more consistent, recognizable, and redefined hardware experience at Meter.

What your day-to-day looks like

• Work closely with electrical engineers, industrial engineers, and manufacturing partners to develop new products.
• Spend time in CAD, working through mechanical layouts, mounting strategies, and internal architectures across a range of products.
• Build prototypes, review physical samples, and iterate based on what you learn.
• Participate in design reviews, where you bring a clear point of view and incorporate feedback from others.
• Work directly with manufactures to refine designs for production.
• Connect with teams like deployments and operations to understand how products are installed, shipped, and handled in practice - and use that context to improve your designs.

Who you are

• Care about building hardware that stands the test of time, ready to be deployed in the real world, and expresses form and function to help our customers.
• Strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and experience working on hardware products.
• Care about every inch of design, form, and shape of the hardware.
• Passionate about solving customer problems and are not afraid to apply solutions in creative ways.
• Comfortable in CAD tools such as Creo or OnShape.
• Excel at gathering inputs from various teams and continuously aim to simplify the designs.
• Think about how things are assembled, installed, and used - not just pixels.
• Curious, detail-oriented, and open to feedback.
• Communicate your ideas clearly and work well across disciplines.
• Enjoy prototyping, testing, and refining designs through interaction.

Why Meter?

• We are building hardware with a high bar for quality, reliability, and usability. Our goal is not just to make networking equipment work, but to make it feel intuitive, beautiful, considered, and at times even surprising in how simple it is to use.
• The decisions you make will shape not just the device, but the full experience around it. We are vertically integrated, so you will work across engineering, deployments, and operations to understand how products are actually used and how they scale.
• You will have the opportunity to contribute beyond your immediate role and help define how Meter hardware evolves over time.

Compensation

• The estimated base salary for this role is between $145,000 - $250,000.
• This role is eligible to participate in Meter's equity plan.
