Job description
from OpenAI careersAbout 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.
