With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place—to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.

Key Responsibilities

Lead validation and testing of mechanical performance across product lines and development phases.

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and validation strategies for mechanical systems and components (e.g., enclosures, hinges, fasteners, moving parts).
• Analyze test results, identify issues, and drive root cause analysis in collaboration with engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Establish component and system-level mechanical requirements, including strength, durability, and reliability targets.
• Influence system design in early concept phases to optimize mechanical architecture, working with XFN partners (Product Design, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Manufacturing).
• Own the mechanical performance of the design, partnering with Product Design and other stakeholders.
• Support regulatory and compliance processes related to mechanical performance (e.g., drop, vibration, environmental, and safety testing).
• Document validation processes, test results, and provide clear reports to stakeholders.
• Stay updated on the latest mechanical technologies, standards, and best practices.

We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration.
