About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer applies engineering principles throughout the life cycle of solid-state and electromechanical products, including new product development and support for legacy products. The role works in an aggressive, fast-paced, flexible engineering environment and contributes to design, analysis, qualification, production, and field support of power, analog, and digital products. The position involves analyzing customer requirements; performing 3-D modeling and detailed mechanical design; and conducting troubleshooting, validation, qualification, finite element, thermal, and flow analyses. The engineer supports electronics packaging for harsh electrical and environmental conditions and applies knowledge of materials, fabrication methods, coatings, finishes, adhesives, lubricants, and environmental sealing. The Mechanical Engineer provides product support from initial specification through production and field support; develops technical documentation, proposals, cost estimates, BOMs, and design records; and performs configuration control. The role also involves customer interaction and visits, technical presentations, design reviews, design leadership and coaching, collaboration with design-build teams, and recommendations for tools, training, suppliers, technologies, processes, and methods. Estimated travel is 10–15%, primarily to the Binghamton, NY facility.

Requirements

Minimum of 5–7 years of experience in electronics and electromechanical packaging.
Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
