Mechanical Engineer
About The Position
Join a dynamic and inventive mechanical engineering team where you’ll be directly involved in designing, analyzing, and validating advanced hardware platforms for AI computing, data center, and client systems. Your contributions will center on developing mechanical components and assemblies, conducting FEA and structural analysis, and supporting validation efforts to ensure outstanding product reliability and performance. To achieve so, you’ll interact regularly with teams focused on silicon design, board engineering, validation, manufacturing, as well as leaders within AMD, our customers, and partners. This role is perfect for an engineer enthusiastic about tackling complex server and rack-level challenges, such as optimizing force-saving features, ensuring high-speed connector engagement, advancing liquid cooling and connection technologies, creating floating mechanisms, and refining structures to meet rigorous transportation shock and vibration tests. You'll enjoy a balance in your workdays: splitting your time between hands-on lab work, running validation tests, and diving into CAD design and optimization. The position offers a rewarding mix of technical depth and creative problem-solving, with plenty of opportunity to see your ideas move from concept to real-world impact. This is an onsite role based in Secaucus, NJ.
Requirements
- Strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles
- Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools
- Working knowledge of structural analysis using industry-standard FEA tools
- Ability to create a robust testing strategy that effectively validates system-level designs, even when working with limited data
- Keen eye for detail, quickly assess complex issues, pinpoint their root causes, and apply targeted design optimizations to boost performance across the board
- Collaborative team player with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, able to interpret results and translate them into practical design improvements in a fast-paced engineering environment
Nice To Haves
- Senior level experience with electronics packaging, compute hardware, or data center systems
- Familiarity with sheet metal, cast, machined, and plastic component design
- Familiarity with EE component layout, exposure to DXF file generation and ECAD (Allegro)
- Exposure to thermal-mechanical coupling, vibration/shock, or reliability analysis, as well as FloTherm
- Experience supporting products through prototype and manufacturing release phases
- Knowledge of mechanical design and validation industry standards
Responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD tools (Creo preferred, SolidWorks acceptable)
- Develop testing strategies for every crucial phase of the process, and actively participate in both troubleshooting and refining design optimizations.
- Create and maintain detailed 2D drawings, GD&T, and engineering documentation in accordance with AMD and industry standards
- Perform structural and vibration analyses using FEA tools such as Abaqus and/or ANSYS to assess mechanical integrity and product reliability
- Support design trade studies, tolerance analysis, and material selection to meet product requirements
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, thermal, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers throughout the product development lifecycle
- Participate in design reviews, provide technical input, and implement feedback
- Support prototype builds, system bring-up, debugging, and failure analysis
- Assist with transition from development to manufacturing, including vendor engagement and design for manufacturability (DFM)
Benefits
- AMD benefits at a glance
