Mechanical Engineer

Qualcomm•San Diego, CA

3d•$90,100 - $135,100•Onsite

About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer will work as part of Qualcomm’s CHS global mechanical engineering team, designing electro-mechanical enclosures and platforms, including server racks, outdoor cabinets, IoT equipment, fixtures, and consumer mobile-device test platforms. The work spans detailed design, thermal simulation, tooling and fabrication, sourcing, product testing, and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA). The senior mechanical engineer will work with internal teams and external suppliers on a varied, fast-paced portfolio of multidisciplinary design projects. The role requires onsite work at Qualcomm’s San Diego, California office at least five days per week.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field; the posting also specifies a BSME (Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering).
At least 3 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience.
Proficiency with 3D CAD tools such as CREO or equivalent.
Experience designing CNC-machined, sheet-metal, die-cast, and injection-molded components.
Working knowledge of mechanical documentation, tolerancing, and GD&T.

Nice To Haves

Strong understanding of mechanical design in the electronics industry.
At least 5 years of experience with 3D solid-modeling design tools such as CREO, SolidWorks, or equivalent.
At least 3 years of design experience with plastic injection-molded, die-cast, chassis sheet-metal, and CNC-machined parts.
At least 3 years of experience developing mechanical constraints for printed circuit board assemblies.
At least 3 years of electro-mechanical (PCBA) design experience.
Experience using 3D thermal analysis software such as Flowtherm or Icepak.
Experience with structural analysis FEA tools.
Experience with tolerance stack analysis of complex assemblies.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Top-down solid-modeling experience with 3D design databases.
Experience transferring design constraints (EMN files) between 3D CAD and PCB electronic CAD designs.
Test and assembly fixture design experience.
Experience with PDM systems for BOM and project management; Agile is preferred.

Responsibilities

Design and develop detailed electro-mechanical test fixtures and development platforms.
Create 3D CAD models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings.
Design electro-mechanical chassis and racks for server test and production platforms.
Prepare documentation for sourcing, assembly, and sustaining assembly bills of materials (BOMs).
Coordinate and source prototype and production components made from plastic, sheet metal, 3D-printed, die-cast, and CNC-machined materials, including housings, heatsinks, cables, fixtures, and chassis.
Work with vendors and manufacturing partners to ensure designs are manufacturable and build schedules are supported.
Collaborate and communicate with multidisciplinary design, engineering, and supply-chain teams across geographical regions.
Develop thermal, structural, and tolerance analyses of mechanical assemblies.
Work onsite at the Qualcomm office in San Diego, California, at least five days per week.
