What are some of the best product focused companies that are good for Mechanical engineering/Product Design jobs. I am talking about companies that view hardware and designing physical things as core to their success (instead of many software companies that treat it more as a necessary evil). Tesla, SpaceX and Apple are obvious examples.
I'd say Boeing too, but only if you manage to get into one of the smaller niche BDS groups, or product development and Research and Technology. Anything other than that and you'll lose your edge faster than a butter knife
And by product development I don't mean like working on a new derivative. I mean literally working on product development that hasn't even been given a name yet
