Staff Hardware Engineer

What You'll Be Doing

• Partner with the System Architect to define product specifications, translating system-level requirements into mechanical design constraints and documentation
• Create, model, and release mechanical components and assemblies for HAPS modules, infrastructure, and rack systems using CAD tools like SolidWorks, Creo, or Siemens NX
• Create detailed mechanical drawings, assembly instructions, and bill of materials documentation for manufacturing and production release
• Manage procurement workflows for mechanical components, working with vendors and suppliers to ensure quality, cost, and timeline targets are met
• Validate designs through prototyping, testing, and cross-functional review, iterating based on thermal, electrical, and serviceability feedback
• Collaborate daily with electrical and thermal engineering teams to resolve integration issues, optimize layouts, and ensure system-level performance
• Use product data management tools like Teamcenter to track design revisions, manage releases, and maintain configuration control across product lifecycles

The Impact You Will Have

• Improve the mechanical robustness and manufacturability of HAPS emulation systems that enable faster semiconductor prototyping and verification
• Reduce time to market for next-generation emulation platforms by streamlining design-to-production workflows and eliminating late-stage integration issues
• Enable better thermal performance and system reliability through thoughtful mechanical design that accounts for real-world operating conditions
• Strengthen cross-disciplinary collaboration by bridging mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineering perspectives in system-level decision-making
• Contribute to Synopsys' leadership in hardware-assisted verification by delivering emulation platforms that customers depend on for critical design work
• Help build a design and documentation foundation that scales as the product line grows and evolves

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in electronic hardware design, product development, or mechanical engineering for complex assemblies
• Proficiency in mechanical CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, or Siemens NX, with the ability to create production-ready models and drawings
• Experience with product data management systems like Teamcenter or similar PLM tools for managing design releases and configuration control
• Strong understanding of printed circuit board assemblies, enclosures, thermal management, and electromechanical integration
• Experience with Siemens NX is a plus, as is familiarity with rack-mounted systems, high-density electronics packaging, or emulation hardware

Who You Are

• Curious: You enjoy exploring and learning new technologies.
• Collaborative: You thrive in cross-functional team environments.
• Innovative: You propose and implement creative solutions to complex problems.
• Adaptable: You are comfortable working across multiple aspects of product development.
• Detail-Oriented: You consistently deliver high-quality, precise work.
