• Develop rugged mechanical hardware such as heat sinks and enclosures for 3U and 6U VPX modules that comply to VITA standards and environmental specifications.
• Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to simulate thermal performance of designs to ensure compliance with thermal requirements.
• Conduct finite element analysis (FEA) to perform frequency, structural, and static studies on modules and subsystems to determine resonant frequencies, stress, strain, and fatigue life.
• Generate detailed fabrication drawings incorporating geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Create thorough assembly instructions, bill of materials (BOMs), and test reports for designs.
• Assist in preparation and submission of data packages and contract deliverable reports.
• Support engineering requests from various functional areas, including Manufacturing, Procurement, and Quality.
• Collaborate with systems, PCB layout, and RF engineers in cross-functional teams throughout product development lifecycles.
• Evaluate customer proposals to assess the feasibility of the mechanical design and contribute expertise in refining requirements to ensure successful implementation.
