Logitech is the Sweet Spot for people who want their actions to have a positive global impact while having the flexibility to do it in their own way.

The Team and Role:

We're looking for a Principal Mechanical Engineer to be a senior technical leader and decision-maker on our Video Collaboration product development team. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll drive architecture decisions, resolve complex cross-functional challenges, and partner with regional engineering leadership to deliver world-class products.

Our products are highly integrated systems combining cameras, speakers, microphones, displays, dense compute, complex thermals, and precision mechanisms. You'll work across the full product lifecycle (from early concept through mass production) partnering closely with Industrial Design, Product Management, Operations, and our Taiwan-based engineering team.

This is a leadership role, not a heads-down design position. We need someone who can see the whole system, make tough trade-off decisions, align cross-functional teams, and drive forward. You'll be the person who takes on complex challenges and owns them to resolution.

Your Contribution:

Be Yourself. Be Open. Stay Hungry and Humble. Collaborate. Challenge. Decide and just Do. Share our passion for Equality and the Environment. These are the behaviors and values you'll need for success at Logitech. In this role you will:

• Drive mechanical architecture decisions for complex, highly integrated products. Balancing thermal, optical, acoustic, and structural requirements against cost, schedule, and manufacturability.

• Partner with regional engineering leadership to drive execution, and elevate overall mechanical engineering capability.

• Own system-level problem solving, identifying issues early, driving root cause analysis, and making crisp decisions that keep programs moving forward.

• Collaborate directly with Industrial Design and Product Management to translate product vision into manufacturable mechanical solutions.

• Work hands-on with Asia-based manufacturing partners and suppliers on DFM/DFT, tooling development, pilot builds, and production ramp.

• Bridge time zones and cultures, communicating effectively across US and Asia teams, building relationships, and driving alignment.

• Provide technical guidance across mechanical, thermal, and optical domains. You don't need to be the deepest expert in everything, but you need to know enough to ask the right questions and guide the team.

• Represent mechanical engineering in cross-functional forums: phase gates, design reviews, and executive updates with clarity and confidence.

Key Qualifications:

For consideration, you must bring the following minimum skills and experiences to our team:

• 8-12+ years of mechanical engineering experience in high-volume electronics product development.

• Demonstrated ability to operate at the system/architecture level, not just component design. Understanding how mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, and acoustic subsystems interact.

• Track record of making decisions and driving cross-functional alignment in ambiguous situations. You're the person who breaks logjams, not creates them.

• Deep familiarity with plastics, metals, and fabric design. Including injection molding, tooling, die casting, sheet metal, and cosmetic finishing processes.

• Working knowledge of mechanism design. Hinges, actuators, PTZ systems, or similar precision mechanisms.

• Experience working directly with Asia-based (Taiwan, China) contract manufacturers and suppliers through development and production.

• Familiarity with adjacent disciplines, enough EE knowledge to have productive conversations about PCB layout constraints, enough thermal knowledge to guide heat dissipation strategies, enough optical knowledge to understand lens/sensor integration challenges.

• Proficiency with Pro/E (Creo), SolidWorks, or equivalent 3D CAD. You're not the primary CAD operator, but you can dive in when needed.

• Strong communication skills: you can explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and advocate effectively for your team's position.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. A master's degree is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with thermal management in constrained enclosures: passive cooling, heat pipes, thermal interface materials.

• Experience with optical system integration: lens assemblies, image sensor mounting, optical alignment.

• Background in video conferencing, cameras, audio products, or similar AV devices.

• Experience mentoring or leading engineering teams, even without direct reports.

• Mandarin language skills (helpful but not required).

Compensation:

This position offers an annual base salary typically between $ 160,000 and $ 210,000. In certain circumstances, higher compensation will be considered based on the business need, candidate experience, and skills.

Location:

Across Logitech we empower collaboration and foster play. We help teams collaborate and learn from anywhere, without compromising on productivity or continuity. Our hybrid work model allows flexibility while maintaining strong connections with our global team. This role is based in the San Francisco Bay Area with regular travel to Taiwan and Asia manufacturing sites (15-25%).
