ABOUT GIZMOSPRING
Gizmospring is a design-to-manufacturing innovation company built to bring great ideas that matter to life — faster, easier, and smarter.
We operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and manufacturing, helping turn ideas into real products that reach the market.
As we enter our next phase of growth, we are evolving into an impact-driven product company focused on solving real problems and creating lasting value.
While our areas of focus may evolve over time, our commitment remains the same: building purposeful products and bridging product, engineering, and manufacturing to turn promising ideas into reality.
Our culture is guided by the Gizmonian Core Values:
- THINK BEYOND — challenge assumptions
- NO BULLSHIT — take ownership and speak with clarity
- ALL IN. TOGETHER. — win as a team
- NEVER BEST, ONLY BETTER — continuous improvement
- MAKE IT MATTER — build with purpose
We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer who thrives in early-stage product development. In this role, we prioritize a Product-First Mindset and Strong Communication as much as Technical Capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Early Research & Analysis: Proactively participate in front-end research, requirement analysis, and market value exploration for potential products.
- Rapid PoC & Prototyping: Design, build, and review Proof-of-Concept (PoC) samples. Embrace quick iterations using low-cost prototypes to validate innovative mechanisms and new technologies.
- Engineering Translation: Turn product proposals and client requirements into concrete engineering designs, solutions, and validation plans.
- CAD, BOM & DFM: Source optimal materials and components; deliver precise 2D/3D CAD models and BOMs that strictly follow Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles.
- Assembly, Debugging & NPI: Lead prototype assembly, debug issues, analyze reliability test results, optimize design details, and collaborate with QA and Supply Chain teams to ensure a smooth transition to mass production.
Qualifications
1. 產品思維 (Product-First Mindset - Top Priority)
- Product-First Mindset: You care deeply not just about Can we build this but How does it feel for the user You can engage in constructive discussions with Industrial Designers (ID) to find the best balance between aesthetics and engineering logic.
- Thriving in High Ambiguity: Comfortable with the rapid changes of front-end development. When projects need agile adjustments based on test results or client needs, you quickly adapt and propose alternative solutions.
2. 溝通與協作 (Communication & Collaboration - Second Priority)
- English Communication: Fluent in English to directly lead technical discussions with international clients.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Industrial Designers, Technical Product Managers (PdM), QA, and Supply Chain teams to understand the business context, user experience, and resolve NPI technical bottlenecks.
3. 技術與實作能力 (Technical & Hands-On Capabilities)
- 2+ Years of Experience: Hands-on experience in hardware mechanical design, well-versed in plastic injection molding, sheet metal stamping, CNC machining, and tooling fundamentals.
- Hands-On Problem Solving: Passionate about turning ideas into reality through 3D printing, manual prototyping, and hands-on debugging.
- Software & AI Tools: Proficient in CREO and eager to leverage AI tools/workflows to optimize daily engineering SOPs.
- 主動參與新專案的前期研究與需求分析,探索潛在產品的市場價值。
- 快速動手設計、製作並審查 POC樣品,勇於迭代,透過低成本原型與快速迭代,驗證創新機構或新技術的可行性。
- 轉化客戶模糊的需求,提案為具體的工程方案,包括解決方案、設計、驗證。
- 尋求最合適的材料與零組件,產出精確且符合 DFM的2D/3D CAD、與BOM 。
- 主導樣機的組裝與除錯,分析可靠度測試結果,持續優化設計細節,確保設計能順利銜接至後段量產。
- 與工業設計師、技術產品經理 緊密合作,理解產品背後的商業脈絡與使用體驗。
- 在專案中後期,與品保團隊及供應鏈協作,協助排解新產品導入NPI階段的技術瓶頸。
- 具備2年以上硬體產品機構設計經驗,熟悉塑膠射出、金屬沖壓、CNC 等常見加工製程與模具基本知識。
- 熟悉前端開發的高不確定性。當專案因應測試結果或客戶需求需要「滾動式調整」時,能快速轉換思維,提出替代方案。
- Product First Mindset,不只關心「這東西做不做得出來」,更在乎「使用者用起來好不好用」。能與工業設計師 (ID) 進行建設性的溝通,在美學堅持與工程合理性之間找到最佳解法。
- 動手解決問題的能力,熟悉 3D 列印或手作打樣,喜歡親手把想法變成實體的成就感。
