About this role
Role Overview
You 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.
You work across disciplines to balance form, function, and feasibility. You catch issues early, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help the team move from concept to production with confidence.
You push for better outcomes, not just acceptable ones. Over time, your work contributes to a more consistent, recognizable, and redefined hardware experience at Meter.
You work closely with electrical engineers, industrial engineers, and manufacturing partners to develop new products.
You spend time in CAD, working through mechanical layouts, mounting strategies, and internal architectures across a range of products. You build prototypes, review physical samples, and iterate based on what you learn.
You participate in design reviews, where you bring a clear point of view and incorporate feedback from others. You work directly with manufactures to refine designs for production.
You also connect with teams like deployments and operations to understand how products are installed, shipped, and handled in practice
and you use that context to improve your designs.
Requirements
You have strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and experience working on hardware products
You care about every inch of design, form, and shape of the hardware
You are passionate about solving customer problems and are not afraid to apply solutions in creative ways
You are comfortable in CAD tools such as Creo or OnShape
You excel at gathering inputs from various teams and continuously aim to simplify the designs
You think about how things are assembled, installed, and used
not just pixels
You are curious, detail-oriented, and open to feedback
You communicate your ideas clearly and work well across disciplines
You enjoy prototyping, testing, and refining designs through interaction
Benefits
We are building hardware with a high bar for quality, reliability, and usability. Our goal is not just to make networking equipment to work, but to make it feel intuitive, beautiful, considered, and at times even surprising in how simple it is to use.
Our products are part of a larger system that includes installation, service, and long-term management. This means 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.
