About the Role
- You are expected to use your engineering expertise to conceptualize and communicate design intent to hardware teams and perform what-if scenarios that is typical in early product development. - Working in conjunction with our ODM and SI partners, you will design mechanical components, systems, and assemblies using CAD software and create prototypes for testing and validation and facilitate their introduction into our products. - You will create mechanical specifications and interface control documents and drive best practices for mechanical design across our product portfolio while ensuring compliance with regulatory and safety standards. - You will be conducting design reviews, generating engineering documentation and developing test plans and reports including formulating DOEs, analyzing data and driving timely decision making to meet project schedules. - Your designs will focus on ensuring part commonality, serviceability and safety, without compromising performance. - As a senior mechanical engineer, you will perform structural statics and dynamics simulations to guide design improvements and maintain adequate design margin against likely failure mechanisms. - You will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams including external vendors and suppliers to source components, lead design strategy, ensure robust performance prediction, review manufacturing processes, and ensure adherence to quality standards. - You will provide engineering support to NPI teams by troubleshooting component and systems issues to enable a seamless integration of designs from development into production. - You will provide engineering support to ECO and BOM management - You are expected to stay abreast of the latest trends and advancements in mechanical engineering, in cloud infrastructure and data centre technologies, and propose innovative ideas to enhance our hardware offerings. - ECAD-MCAD Collaboration: You will provide board outline and connector placement to electrical team. Use and interpret ECAD data, including EMN (board outline and component location) and EMP (component height and shape) files, to facilitate the mechanical design process. - You will Import EMN/EMP file pairs into MCAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) to generate accurate 3D models of PCBs and component placements. - You will Review and analyse component placement data from EMN/EMP files to identify and resolve potential mechanical issues, such as clearance conflicts, interference, and thermal management problems. - You will collaborate with thermal engineers to design heatsink and air baffles - You should have strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, particularly for electromechanical issues and excellent communication skills for cross-functional teamwork. Additional Qualifications - 11+ years technical engineering experience - OR Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience - OR Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Master's in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant discipline preferred - 8+ years in mechanical design and analysis for complex hardware systems, with a focus on cloud or HPC infrastructure - Proficiency in mechanical CAD design tools (PTC Creo preferred, SolidWorks) - Strong structural statics and dynamics background. Experience (>1 yr) with structural FEA simulation tools (Ansys/Abaqus) - Familiarity with Custom Electronics boards design and development for mass production. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, ancestry, color, family or medical care leave, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, national origin, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, protected veteran status, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances.
