Job Description

About Us:

At Arbitrary Product Design Services LLC, we create tangible innovations that span across product development, bespoke fabrication, and large-scale installations. Our work is rooted in experimental design, rapid prototyping, and a deep collaboration between engineering and artistry. We thrive in ambiguity and build solutions from concept to completion using both analog craftsmanship and cutting-edge digital tools. We are looking for a passionate team member who can match our energy, curiosity, and commitment to exceptional execution.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a

proactive, hands-on Mechanical/Product Design Engineer

who can independently manage projects from ideation to fabrication. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in mechanical design and prototyping, experience in handling client-driven projects, and the ability to integrate electronics and automation into physical products.

You'll be working in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where cross-disciplinary thinking is celebrated, and execution is everything. You must be comfortable owning the end-to-end product development process--designing, prototyping, troubleshooting, and liaising with both clients and fabricators.

What We're Looking For:

Someone who is

both creative and analytical

, and thrives on solving real-world design challenges. A self-starter who takes initiative and makes smart decisions under pressure. Detail-oriented with a passion for

functional design

, fabrication, and hands-on prototyping. Comfortable in a

multi-disciplinary role

--mechanical design, CAD modeling, electronics, coding, and client interfacing. Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical details to clients, fabricators, and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and support projects across concept development, mechanical design, prototyping, and final fabrication. Generate detailed

2D/3D CAD drawings

and documentation using tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Fusion 360. Collaborate with internal designers, fabricators, and suppliers to develop manufacturable solutions. Create assembly instructions and fabrication drawings for both in-house prototyping and vendor production. Interface with clients for requirement gathering, updates, feedback, and approvals. Build physical prototypes using 3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, and traditional methods. Integrate

electronics and automation

, including basic programming for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms. Monitor project timelines and ensure timely delivery within budget and scope. Identify and troubleshoot design, fabrication, and implementation challenges.

Skills & Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Product Design, or a related field (preferred). 3+ years of experience in product development, preferably in a consultancy, startup, or interdisciplinary design studio. Proficiency in CAD software:

SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD

(must know both 2D & 3D). Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator or vector-based drawing tools (preferred for presentation and fabrication documents). Working knowledge of microcontroller programming (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) and basic electronics. Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and clients. Understanding of various materials, fabrication techniques, and manufacturing processes. Comfortable working independently, with minimal supervision. Good command of English and professional communication skills (written and verbal). UAE driving license (preferred but not mandatory).

Why Join Us?

Work on

cutting-edge, unconventional projects

across industries--from interactive installations to bespoke products. Be part of a growing design-driven team with a collaborative and creative work culture. Access to a well-equipped prototyping lab with 3D printers, CNC machines, and more. Opportunities for learning, experimentation, and creative growth.

Application Question(s):

What challenges did you face in translating your CAD models into physical parts, and how did you resolve them when communicating with external suppliers or in-house? How would you approach the integration of mechanical and electrical components, especially when prototyping in-house? What steps would you take to identify the cause of design mismatches during fabrication, communicate the fix, and prevent it in the future?
