Design what people touch. Build what they keep. Lead what comes next.

The Company

Mixtiles is a $230M profitable brand reinventing how homes feel.
We create products that didn’t exist before, and now feel obvious:
Wall photos. Self-watering plants. Smart lighting.

Millions of people use our products every day.
They arrive in boxes, live in living rooms, and stay for years.
We’re growing 30% year over year, and still building like it’s day one.

The Role

We’re looking for a mechanical engineer who wants to leave fingerprints on products that last.
Not concept sketches or renderings - real, shipped products that people touch, trust, and love.

You’ll lead the mechanical design of our next generation of connected home products.
That might mean crafting an ultra-satisfying wall-mount experience for Photos, building water-tight systems for easyplant, or shaping the housing of a smart lighting product in Oasis.

Whatever the challenge, you’ll own it from the first sketch to the factory ramp.
We care about fit, feel, and finish. We care about how things click, slide, and age.
And we’re looking for someone who does too.

This isn’t a manager role. This is a hands-on, build-it-yourself, lead-by-making kind of job.
You’ll be in CAD. In the lab. On the ground with our teams.
Making decisions that shape how the product feels, for real people, in real homes.

What You’ll Do

Design the physical experience of our products: the geometry, the feel, the moments
Own mechanical decisions end to end, from blank page to production line
Bridge digital and physical: work tightly with industrial design, electronics, and product
Build clean, parametric CAD that evolves fast and scales smoothly
Prototype, test, learn, then feed insights back into the next iteration
Design for mass manufacturing from day one
Help our products feel premium, intentional, and built to last

What Great Looks Like

Customers say “this feels amazing” without knowing why
Assemblies go together like magic, and stay that way
Designs ramp quickly, with minimal surprises in tooling or production
Factory teams trust your tolerances; cross-functional teams trust your judgment
The details you choose are the ones people fall in love with
Your teammates rely on you to raise the bar on clarity, quality, and craft

Who You Are

A builder. You think with your hands and gain energy from real-world results
A craftsperson. You care about edges, seams, and transitions as much as strength
A simplifier. You chase elegant solutions, not complex ones
A partner. You collaborate across disciplines to create one coherent product
A doer. You move fast, make decisions, and get things built

Must-Have Experience

Daily, hands-on CAD design. Not CAD-adjacent, but CAD-expert
Deep experience with injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing
Proven track record designing parts for high-quality consumer hardware
Fluency in tolerances, stack-ups, DFM, and production realities
Strong parametric modeling for configurable or revision-heavy parts
Clear thinking, clean documentation, and tight execution under pressure

If you’ve ever held a product and thought, “this could be better—and I know how”—we’d love to meet.
