What you will do

• Develop and own structural FEA simulations for NPI projects and sustaining issues, continuously improving model accuracy through test correlation and refinement.
• Provide mechanical design guidance from concept through production, including chassis, packaging, fixtures, high-density electronic assemblies, and manufacturability.
• Support MDVT and HALT activities through laboratory testing, test-data analysis, root-cause investigations, and validation of corrective design changes.
• Document static, modal, dynamic, thermal, and structural analyses for design reviews and maintain responsibility for system structural integrity.
• Collaborate with ASIC, hardware, manufacturing, operations, suppliers, and cross-functional teams on 3D models, connector placement, floorplans, production yield, and technical risks.
• Contribute to mechanical specifications, validation plans, design guidelines, project scoping, resource estimates, schedules, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in electromechanical product development.
• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or equivalent.
• Experience developing networking, server, storage, telecommunications, or high-performance computing systems.
• Extensive experience with chassis development, system packaging, high-density electronic assemblies, and complex system-level mechanical design.
• Extensive experience with FEA and ANSYS Workbench, including static structural, modal, transient mode superposition, Eigenvalue-Buckling, and steady-state thermal analysis.
• Strong hands-on experience with tolerance analysis, GD&T, stack-up analysis, CAD, prototyping, and structural analysis.
• Expert-level proficiency with 3D solid modeling tools and experience with sheet metal, machining, castings, extrusions, plastics, tooling, and volume-production processes.
• Experience with meshing, model simplification, load-path analysis, dynamic testing, accelerometer data, strain-gauge applications, and test-data analysis.
• Knowledge of GR-63, IPC-9704, ASTM D4169, NEBS, EMI, EMC, safety, regulatory compliance, ECAD-MCAD integration, and IDF workflows.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical issues, lead root-cause investigations, implement corrective actions, communicate technical recommendations, and influence cross-functional teams throughout the product lifecycle.
