• Create and modify 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings.
• Apply mechanical engineering fundamentals including GD&T, tolerance analysis, materials selection, structural mechanics, and heat transfer.
• Participate in prototype builds, laboratory testing, design verification, and product qualification.
• Assist with mechanical failure investigations and root-cause analysis.
• Work closely with senior engineers to evaluate design concepts and identify technical risks.
• Collaborate with Electrical, Thermal, Signal Integrity, Reliability, Manufacturing, Operations, and Supply Chain teams.
• Support the integration of PCBs, connectors, cables, optical modules, fans, heatsinks, and other components into mechanical assemblies.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute engineering analysis and recommendations.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve design and manufacturability issues.
• Support DFM/DFA activities and learn manufacturing processes including sheet metal fabrication, machining, die casting, extrusion, and plastics.
• Assist in the preparation of engineering specifications, test plans, technical reports, BOMs, and engineering change documentation.
• Gain exposure to air and liquid cooling technologies used in high-performance electronic systems.
• Support prototype and production builds and help troubleshoot issues found during assembly and testing.
• Develop technical skills and progressively take ownership of components, assemblies, and engineering activities.

• BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Recent graduate or up to 2 years of relevant engineering experience.

• MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Internship, co-op, academic project, or research experience involving mechanical product design or electromechanical systems.
• Coursework, project, internship, or research experience in structural analysis, FEA, vibration, or mechanical reliability.
• Experience with electronics packaging, computer/server hardware, robotics, automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, or similar hardware products.
• Hands-on experience building and testing mechanical or electromechanical systems.

• Working knowledge of 3D solid modeling tools; SolidWorks or Creo experience preferred.
• Understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, and tolerance stack-up principles.
• Basic understanding of mechanical design principles including statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and heat transfer.
• Working knowledge of structural analysis fundamentals and FEA; experience with tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks Simulation is preferred.
• Understanding of stress, deflection, vibration, shock, and structural integrity of mechanical assemblies is preferred.
• Ability to interpret structural analysis results and correlate simulation predictions with physical test results is a plus.
• Familiarity with common manufacturing processes such as sheet metal, machining, injection molding, die casting, extrusion, and 3D printing.
• Familiarity with electronics packaging, PCBs, connectors, cables, fans, and heatsinks is a plus.
• Exposure to thermal design, electronics cooling, or liquid cooling is a plus.
• Experience with hands-on prototyping, laboratory testing, machining, or 3D printing is highly desirable.
• Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity about how products are designed, built, tested, and improved.
• Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and work effectively in a cross-functional team.
• Willingness to work hands-on in the laboratory and participate in prototype and product builds.
• Ability and willingness to learn new engineering tools, technologies, and manufacturing processes.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced product development environment.
