Job details

About Mecka AI Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems. We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware. About Mecka Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI and robotics teams. Our operations span multiple countries, with contributors, partners, and customers across North America and Asia. Our Mission Robotics will become the largest industry in human history — larger than anything that has come before it. As intelligent machines move into the physical world, they will dramatically expand global GDP, raise the material standard of living for everyone, and ultimately help make humanity a multiplanetary civilization. None of that happens without one thing: enormous amounts of high-quality, real-world data. Mecka AI builds that foundation. We are the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI — the substrate that teaches machines to perceive, reason, and act in reality. Get this right, and we accelerate the most important technological transition of our time. Our Culture Excellence as the baseline. We hold an extremely high bar and expect the best work of your career. Mediocrity isn't interesting to us. Highly technical. We reason from first principles, not by analogy. The best argument wins — regardless of title or tenure. Truth-seeking. We are relentlessly honest with ourselves and each other. We chase reality — measured, not assumed — and kill our own bad ideas fast. Maniacal urgency. The work matters and the clock is real. We move fast, ship, measure, and iterate. Extreme ownership. You own outcomes end-to-end — no hand-offs, no excuses, no waiting for permission. Hardcore. This is a high-intensity environment for people who want to do the defining work of their lives. The role A body-worn capture device lives on a person all day — how it looks, feels, and wears is as important as how it works. As Industrial Designer, you own the form, ergonomics, and CMF (color, material, finish) of our capture hardware, shaping a device people are comfortable wearing and proud to use. You drive design from concept and form exploration through to a manufacturable product, partnering closely with mechanical, electrical, embedded/firmware, and our Shenzhen manufacturing partners to keep the experience coherent end to end. Responsibilities Own the industrial design of a body-worn device: form factor, ergonomics, wearability, and human factors for all-day comfort. Define CMF direction — materials, finishes, colors, textures, and surface treatments — and carry it through to production. Explore concepts through sketching, 3D modeling, renders, and physical mockups; iterate quickly with foam, 3D prints, and appearance models. Partner with mechanical engineering to balance aesthetics, ergonomics, and manufacturability, and with brand/marketing to keep the product identity consistent. Refine fit and finish through EVT/DVT/PVT, reviewing parts, tooling marks, and cosmetic quality with manufacturing partners. Minimum qualifications 5+ years in industrial design with at least one shipped consumer, wearable, or hardware product. Strong concept-to-production design skills: sketching, 3D CAD/surfacing (e.g. Rhino, Fusion, SolidWorks, or Alias), rendering (e.g. KeyShot), and physical prototyping. Deep CMF sensibility and knowledge of materials and high-volume processes — injection molding, overmolding, texturing, and finishing — for plastics and small assemblies. Strong human factors and ergonomics judgment, especially for worn or handheld devices. A portfolio that shows craft, form development, and shipped results. Preferred qualifications Body-worn, action-camera, or wearable device experience. Experience collaborating with contract manufacturers, ideally in China. Inclusive Hiring at Mecka We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive candidate experience. Should you require any accommodation whatsoever during the interview process, please inform us without any hesitation. Mecka is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment and opportunity in all phases of recruitment, selection, and employment, in compliance with employment law. We do not discriminate based on gender, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, veteran or military status, or any other protected category. Mecka is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, fostering a culture of inclusivity and maintaining a work environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Use of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment Mecka uses artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. This includes activities such as drafting job descriptions, generating interview questions, note-taking and recordings, and supporting sourcing and scheduling workflows. All candidate evaluations, interviews, and hiring decisions are made by members of the Mecka team. While AI tools may assist with screening and assessment, they do not replace human judgment in selection decisions. Our use of AI is intended to streamline routine tasks, improve consistency, and enhance the overall candidate experience. We are committed to upholding principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in all hiring activities. Mecka regularly reviews its recruitment practices to mitigate bias and to ensure alignment with applicable laws and evolving best practices. Compensation Range: CA$150K - CA$190K
