We’re ramping toward mass production and scaling globally. Mechanical Engineering is core to how our system functions, feels, and performs night after night.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to own and architect critical mechanical systems across the Orion Sleep System. This role operates at a system level, driving architecture, design quality, manufacturability, and execution from early concept through mass production. You’ll work deeply across thermal systems, fluid routing, enclosures, CMF, mechanisms, and high-precision assemblies, while influencing engineering standards, design direction, and execution velocity. This is a hands-on technical leadership role embedded with Operations, Quality, EE, FW, Reliability, and our global manufacturing partners.\nWhat You’ll Own\nLead design of TEC-based thermal systems, fluid routing, enclosures, and integrated mechanical assemblies across the Orion Sleep System\n\nOwn detailed CAD, tolerancing, GD&T, and stack-up analysis\n\nDrive CMF alignment, surface quality, and tooling readiness\n\nTranslate system requirements into robust, production-ready mechanical designs\n\nWork directly with global manufacturing partners across plastics, sheet metal, machining, and final assembly\n\nGuide tooling development, design changes, and build readiness for EVT / DVT / PVT and MP\n\nSupport on-site factory builds, failure analysis, and process optimization\n\nDefine and execute validation plans for durability, lifecycle reliability, thermal stability, noise, fit, and cosmetic quality\n\nPartner with Reliability, QA, and Operations to drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions\n\nMaintain drawings, specifications, ECOs, and build documentation\n\nCollaborate closely with EE and FW on system integration, routing constraints, and sensor placement\n\nPartner with Product, Ops, and Supply Chain to balance cost, schedule, and manufacturability\n\nLead design reviews and technical trade-offs with clarity and ownership\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n8+ years of mechanical engineering experience in consumer hardware or integrated electromechanical systems\n\nProven system-level ownership across complex mechanical architectures\n\nDeep expertise in plastics, sheet metal, mechanisms, thermal systems, and high-volume manufacturing\n\nExpert-level CAD proficiency (SolidWorks or equivalent) with strong DFM/DFA and GD&T skills\n\nTrack record of taking products from concept → EVT → DVT → PVT → MP\n\nHands-on engineering mindset-comfortable in labs, factories, and design reviews\n\nStrong technical communication and ability to influence across teams without direct authority\n\nExperience with thermoelectric (TEC/Peltier) systems or thermal-regulation platforms is a plus\n\nExperience working with Asian contract manufacturers is a plus\n\nStrong sensitivity to CMF and cosmetic quality standards is a plus\n\nWhy Orion\nMechanical Engineering at Orion is a first-order function. As a Staff Engineer, you’ll help define the technical foundation of a category-defining sleep platform and influence how the product scales globally. Your work will directly impact product performance, customer experience, and long-term platform strategy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3389,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Mattresses & Sleep Products"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T20:37:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":51,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.686,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":57,"expected_fill_days":64,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/orion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/orion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T22:25:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30226,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2307510},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2307510"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Forion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Forion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/orion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forion-sleep-staff-mechanical-engineer"}]}
