About The Position

Keysight is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to play a key role in the development of Keysight's industry-leading Digital Sampling Oscilloscopes. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of expert R&D engineers, you will lead mechanical engineering activities from concept through production, helping bring innovative technologies and products to market faster and more efficiently than ever before. In this role, you will serve as a primary Mechanical Engineer for the organization, providing technical leadership and mentorship while driving all aspects of product design. Responsibilities span system-level mechanical architecture, opto-mechanical design, RF and LF cable assemblies, sheet metal chassis, die-cast components, thermal and structural analysis, and mechanical validation testing to ensure products meet Keysight’s high standards for performance, reliability, and quality.

Requirements

BS or MS degree in Mechanical Engineering with 3-5 years of relevant industry experience.
Proven track record of successfully developing complex electro-mechanical products from concept through high-volume production.
Strong mechanical design, analytical problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills with exceptional attention to detail.
Experience designing complex electro-mechanical systems and thermal management solutions.
Knowledge of sheet metal, precision machined parts, plastics, RF and LF cable assemblies, and associated fabrication processes.
Intermediate to advanced proficiency with Siemens NX (preferred) or a comparable parametric 3D CAD platform.
Strong expertise in mechanical drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
Experience with precision opto-mechanical products, optical-to-electrical converters, or fiber-optic cable alignment is a plus.
Familiarity with structural and thermal simulation tools.
Experience transferring designs to manufacturing and supporting production through release and sustaining phases.
Demonstrated ability to succeed in a fast-paced, collaborative development environment and working on multiple projects concurrently.
Self-motivated with the ability to independently translate broad objectives into tangible results and deliver on schedule.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across all organizational levels.
