Mechanical Design Engineer

About the role

Works under supervision on various engineering project tasks, including performing engineering analysis such as competitive, failure modes and effects, cost, and manufacturing technology assessments. Designs components, verifies specifications through testing, and implements manufacturing processes. Occasionally provides field support and manages small projects from start to finish. Assists in proposing innovative product features. Applies technical expertise within a single discipline, such as mechanical, electronics, software/firmware, materials science, or optics. Builds working relationships both within the team and across the company.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop products and systems focused on connectivity, power distribution, and cooling solutions for data centers.
• Execute the full design lifecycle: requirements capture, concept generation, design, prototyping, testing, and release to manufacturing.
• Conduct applied research and stay current with the latest technology.
• Plan and lead large-scale projects, including multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
• Prepare project schedules, budgets, design specifications, technical reports, and presentations.
• Demonstrate creativity and out-of-the-box thinking for concepts and designs.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering required.
• Experience: 1.5 - 5 years in mechanical product design with proven success launching projects from concept to completion. Prior experience in electronic packaging, fiber optics, datacenter, power, and cooling, or liquid cooling preferred.
