About the Team The Consumer Products team at OpenAI builds the hardware that brings advanced AI technology directly into people’s hands. We design, engineer, and manufacture next-generation consumer devices that combine elegant design, robust engineering, and cutting-edge AI. Our team spans mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering — partnering closely with industrial design, operations, and software to create seamless, high-quality experiences that make AI more accessible and useful. About the Role As a Hardware Engineer on the Consumer Products team, you’ll contribute to the design, development, and integration of complex hardware systems for new AI-driven devices. You’ll work across disciplines to translate early product concepts into reliable, scalable, and beautifully crafted products ready for mass production. This role is based in Singapore. We follow a hybrid model (four days per week in the office) and offer relocation support for new employees. Occasional travel to manufacturing partners may be required. In this role, you will: - Design, prototype, and validate mechanical and electrical subsystems from early development through mass production. - Collaborate closely with design, operations, and manufacturing teams to ensure quality, reliability, and scalability. - Drive DFM/DFA reviews, design iterations, and bring-up of prototype and pilot builds. - Debug complex system-level issues and lead root-cause investigations and resolutions. - Partner with global suppliers and cross-functional teams to ensure flawless execution from concept to launch. You might thrive in this role if you: - Have 6+ years of experience in consumer hardware, consumer electronics, or advanced product development. - Bring deep technical fluency in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering (cross-disciplinary experience a plus). - Have taken at least one consumer product from concept to mass production. - Are energized by hands-on problem solving, iteration, and building in fast-paced environments. - Value collaboration, craftsmanship, and user experience — and are excited to help shape how people interact with AI.
