Senior Staff Mechanical Design Engineer

Lead mechanical and thermal design analysis of package, board and system configurations working closely with Package and System Architects to deliver industry leading products. Lead engineer to Design, test, analyze, qualify, and document mechanical hardware of moderate to high complexity. Participate in negotiating package and system design requirements with customers, vendors, and key stakeholders. Create concept, intermediate, and final designs with intermediate milestone peer review and empirical prototype evaluation. Develop Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for mechanical design features of package and system chassis to obtain optimal thermal and structural design. Create and communicate drawings, CAD models and other design collateral through BOM management. Participate in compliance testing with Nationally Recognized Test Labs in ensuring product meets all EMI/EMC and safety standards required. Lead and conduct root-cause-analysis and technical investigations for Package and Systems thermal and mechanical designs. Participate in cross-functional team efforts in integration, pre-qualification and qualification for products and sub-systems of moderate to high complexity. Provide assistance to creating technical roadmaps, establishing best practices, and determining product feasibility. Lead internal and external stakeholders (supplier/vendors) to deliver components that meet quality, cost, and timelines.
