Meter builds networking hardware that businesses depend on every day. This infrastructure is often invisible, but is the backbone that powers every application, space, and data center.

Today, much of that infrastructure is dated and inconsistent. We are rebuilding it from the ground up.

We care deeply about how our hardware is built, how it’s installed, and how it feels to use. This role is about shaping that experience. You will help define the next generation of Meter hardware - not just how it performs, but how it shows up in the real world.

What success looks like

You take early product ideas and turn them into well-resolved, manufacturable hardware across multiple product lines.

Your designs reflect a high level of care. They are reliable in the field, straightforward to install and thoughtfully constructed. Deployment engineers understand them quickly. Internal teams trust them.

You work across disciplines to balance form, function, and feasibility. You catch issues early, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help the team move from concept to production with confidence.

You push for better outcomes, not just acceptable ones. Over time, your work contributes to a more consistent, recognizable, and redefined hardware experience at Meter.

What your day-to-day looks like

You work closely with electrical engineers, industrial engineers, and manufacturing partners to develop new products.

You spend time in CAD, working through mechanical layouts, mounting strategies, and internal architectures across a range of products. You build prototypes, review physical samples, and iterate based on what you learn.

You participate in design reviews, where you bring a clear point of view and incorporate feedback from others. You work directly with manufactures to refine designs for production.

You also connect with teams like deployments and operations to understand how products are installed, shipped, and handled in practice - and you use that context to improve your designs.

Who you are

You care about building hardware that stands the test of time, ready to be deployed in the real world, and expresses form and function to help our customers. This is what makes you the best fit for our team:

• You have strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and experience working on hardware products

• You care about every inch of design, form, and shape of the hardware

• You are passionate about solving customer problems and are not afraid to apply solutions in creative ways

• You are comfortable in CAD tools such as Creo or OnShape

• You excel at gathering inputs from various teams and continuously aim to simplify the designs

• You think about how things are assembled, installed, and used - not just pixels

• You are curious, detail-oriented, and open to feedback

• You communicate your ideas clearly and work well across disciplines

• You enjoy prototyping, testing, and refining designs through interaction

Why Meter?

We are building hardware with a high bar for quality, reliability, and usability. Our goal is not just to make networking equipment to work, but to make it feel intuitive, beautiful, considered, and at times even surprising in how simple it is to use.

Our products are part of a larger system that includes installation, service, and long-term management. This means the decisions you make will shape not just the device, but the full experience around it.

We are vertically integrated, so you will work across engineering, deployments, and operations to understand how products are actually used and how they scale. You will have the opportunity to contribute beyond your immediate role and help define how Meter hardware evolves over time.

Compensation

• The estimated base salary for this role is between $145,000 - $250,000

• Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Meter's equity plan.
