Our core values include open communication, empowerment, innovation, teamwork, and a commitment to customer success.

Key Responsibilities:
• Design and deliver next-generation chassis and cards that meet system product specifications.

• Conduct detailed 2D tolerance analysis for complex electro-mechanical assemblies using spreadsheets or 3D tolerance analysis tools like CETol.

• Develop innovative mechanical solutions utilizing materials such as sheet metal, plastic, and die-cast, ensuring compliance with EMI, safety, and regulatory standards.

• Create 3D CAD models using tools like Creo or NX.

• Generate detailed drawings applying Geometric Tolerancing and Dimensioning (GD&T) principles.


• Collaborate closely with the manufacturing team and suppliers to resolve issues, develop mitigation strategies, and keep management informed.


• Work alongside cross-functional teams (HW, SI, CAD, Thermal, Manufacturing, etc.) to negotiate requirements and assess technical risks and trade-offs.

• Partner with thermal engineers to design and implement effective cooling solutions.

Collaboration


You will work closely with our Mechanical/Thermal group, a dedicated team founded on principles of innovation, teamwork, open communication, and customer success.

Additionally, you will engage cross-functionally with Hardware Engineering, Product Management/Marketing, Product Operations, Global Supplier Management (GSM), External Vendors/Suppliers, Manufacturing Operations, and EMS/JDM partners.

Who You Are

You are a creative and technically adept individual with a strong mechanical aptitude, excelling in problem-solving and embracing complex challenges.

You are a technical leader passionate about design and innovation, capable of independently transforming strategic visions into reality.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication skills, a strong analytical mindset, and a collaborative spirit that emphasizes listening, compromise, and teamwork to achieve optimal product solutions.


Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with 7+ years of experience in designing electronic enclosures.

• Proficiency in 3D MCAD tools (Creo/NX).

• Experience in sheet metal design.

• Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:
• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with 4+ years of experience in designing electronic enclosures.

• Relevant experience in the mechanical design of computer/networking systems.

• Prior knowledge of manufacturing tooling for sheet metal, plastic, and die-casting.

• Experience in designing plastic and die-cast components.

• Proficiency in performing static and dynamic analysis using tools such as Creo Simulate or ANSYS.

• Experience in tolerance analysis, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and statistical analysis.
