Mechanical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical solutions for next-generation networking products such as routers, switches, firewalls, and servers.
• Create and refine electronic enclosure designs using sheet metal, plastic, and die-cast components, with an emphasis on data center networking equipment.
• Ensure mechanical designs meet EMI, safety, and compliance requirements and adhere to industry standards.
• Perform detailed tolerance analysis and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure robust and manufacturable designs.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, signal integrity, CAD, thermal, and manufacturing to define requirements and resolve design issues.
• Evaluate and communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, and design options to support informed decision-making.
• Work with manufacturing tooling for sheet metal, plastic, and die-casting to ensure designs are optimized for production.
• Participate in and support Engineering Change Order (ECO), Bill of Materials (BOM), and deviation processes throughout the product lifecycle.
• Contribute to mechanism design and integration of mechanical features that enhance product functionality and serviceability.
• Support continuous improvement of design processes and documentation to increase quality and efficiency.

Requirements

• Proven experience in the mechanical design of computer networking equipment products for data centers, including servers, routers, or switches.
• Electronic enclosure design experience, particularly for networking and telecommunications products.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing tooling and processes for sheet metal, plastic, and die-casting.
• Expertise in tolerance analysis and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks and Creo for mechanical design.
• Experience designing sheet metal chassis and enclosures, with the ability to work on server and electronic enclosure structures.
• Ability to ensure designs meet EMI, safety, and compliance requirements.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with telecommunication and networking hardware environments.
