Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Position Summary

Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will perform mechanical design of RF and microwave components and equipment such as connectorized products, surface mount and plug in products and is required to use innovative skills and design software, i.e. AutoCAD, Draftsight, and SolidWorks. Mechanical Design Engineer II will work on problems of moderate scope where data analysis is required for evaluation of identifiable factors and exercises judgment within defined procedures and practices to determine the appropriate action.

About the Role

This job is a fully qualified, career-oriented, mid-to senior level position. Job Function: Design Mechanical parts for surface mounted or through hole insertion. Design mechanical fixtures for Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) packages. Provide mechanical design inputs for PCB and ceramic substrates during design phase. Creating, outlines and case styles of models developed by the Electrical Engineering Team. Provide details for Bill of Materials of all mechanical components (e.g. carrier plates, fixtures, packing material, fasteners or other mechanical hardware, etc.) for model designers to include in BOM. Introducing new Carrier Tapes for SMT products or new packing materials, which are needed, where our currently designed tapes and packing scheme cannot meet requirements. Updating existing Outlines/case styles/Mechanical component designs or any other associated documentation as result of any design errors, manufacturing process accommodation, sub-contractors or customers’ requests. Ordering Mechanical parts for prototypes from the machine shop or from outside sources.
