Why Join Coolon

Join a company where engineering drives the business.

At Coolon, we combine advanced electronic engineering with robust manufacturing to develop lighting systems that perform reliably in some of the world’s harshest environments.

Product safety, innovation and technical excellence are at the heart of everything we do.

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Coolon, a multi‑award‑winning Victorian manufacturer renowned for high‑performance LED lighting products across Architectural, Commercial, Industrial and Harsh‑Environment applications, is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our growing team.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, backed by strong, practical engineering fundamentals.

10+ years of experience in mechanical design for industrial products and integrated electromechanical systems.

High proficiency in 3D CAD and design documentation (NX preferred). If you are coming from another CAD environment,



that is fine – as long as you are willing to transition quickly and model in a way that will not make your future‑self ask, “Who did this?”

Deep understanding of manufacturing processes and fabrication methods, including die casting, plastic injection moulding, aluminium extrusion, machining, sheet metal fabrication and rapid prototyping.

Strong grasp of materials, chemical compatibility and surface treatments, especially for products that live in environments where nature and physics routinely team up against us.

Ability to design for environmental resilience across hazardous, marine, architectural and industrial applications.

Proven ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and deliver thoughtful engineering outcomes – calm, focused, and quietly impressive.

Meticulous attention to detail, paired with clear, organised documentation that keeps teams aligned and surprises to a minimum.

Team-oriented mindset, with experience mentoring junior engineers in a constructive, confidence‑building way.

Leadership qualities welcomed but not essential – quiet competence still counts as leadership in our book.

Responsibilities

- Take full ownership of mechanical design for industrial lighting products, from sketch to manufacturable masterpiece.
- Contribute to project planning, design reviews, risk assessments and key technical decisions.
- Design products that withstand extreme temperatures, dust, moisture, vibration, mechanical shock and other harsh condition tests.
- Work closely with the engineering and product development teams to ensure mechanical elements integrate seamlessly.
- Consider everyone impacted by your design: from toolmaker and raw material suppliers to production assembly and the end user.
- Make installation easy and intuitive; the end‑user experience is the real test.
- Trust data, not vibes – commit every form of product violence in the name of science.
- Produce human‑readable drawings and documentation.
- Collaborate with Production and QC when things go sideways – designs evolve.
- Speak your idea out loud – engineering prefers noise.
- Remember that every design that leaves the building carries our name – make it proud and professional.
- Do not dress industrial products like a rugged cowboy; they can be beautiful and inspiring.

Why Coolon

At Coolon, you are not just joining another engineering company – you are stepping into a place where advanced engineering and sharp, purposeful design meet in the real world. What you create here becomes something people rely on.

Our in‑house R&D; labs and manufacturing facilities give you the freedom to design, test, push limits, break things strategically, and refine your work until it is worthy of the Coolon badge.

If you have ever wanted end‑to‑end control of your craft, this is where you get it.

Please note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

- Deep understanding of digital and analog electronics and low‑level peripheral interfacing.
- Familiarity with bootloaders and reliable OTA (over‑the‑air) update mechanisms.
- Hands‑on experience with networking and cloud integration (MQTT, WebSocket) is a plus.
- Comfortable using modern collaboration tools (Git, Jira or equivalent).
