About The Position

At Capgemini Invent, we believe difference drives change. As inventive transformation consultants, we blend our strategic, creative and scientific capabilities, collaborating closely with clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions. Join us to drive transformation tailored to our client's challenges of today and tomorrow. Informed and validated by science and data. Superpowered by creativity and design. All underpinned by technology created with purpose. 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.

Requirements

BSME or similar educational background.
6-8 years of experience in product design engineering with consumer electronics, softgoods, or related industries.
Proven ability to lead complex design efforts and deliver results in cross-functional environments
Solid 3D modeling capabilities (NX preferred), including Class-A surface development.
Product architecture development, including feasibility studies, sizing, technology integration, mechanism design and analysis.
Exceptional prototyping capabilities.
Understanding of manufacturing processes and design constraints, including injection molding, machining, softgoods (textiles, films, synthetics, leather, adhesives), and manufacturing process documentation.
Experience collaborating with vendors on DFM/DFA, tooling and fixture design, and First Article Inspection (FAI).
Tolerance analysis and GD&T-based mechanical drawings (ASME Y14.5) to specify and communicate design intent.
Passion for design and creating products that resonate with people.
Self-motivated, excellent communicator, and a collaborative, fearless, positive team player who thrives balancing great design with short deadlines and contributing beyond your defined role.

Responsibilities

Innovate. Solve problems and address whatever challenge may arise, including the unique constraints softgoods materials bring to design and manufacturing.
Excel at core engineering tasks: design, prototyping, analysis, 3D CAD modeling (including Class-A surfaces), and documentation.
Analyze product geometry, develop tooling and fixture design concepts and CAD for softgoods components (textiles, silicone, leather, and soft polymers).
Engineer proof-of-concept prototypes and define prototyping processes for small build quantities.
Perform First Article Inspection (FAI) and observe tooling setup, feeding learnings back into ongoing process and tooling improvements.
Prepare cut/print files for fabrication equipment (e.g., Zund cutter, laser, 3D printer) as needed.
Step in to support hands-on fabrication during peak times.
