Responsibilities

Design robust mechanical modules, subsystems, and integrated microwave assemblies incorporating mixed signal RF and digital electronics using 3D CAD software.
Develop rugged mechanical hardware such as heat sinks and enclosures for 3U and 6U VPX modules that comply to VITA standards and environmental specifications.
Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to simulate thermal performance of designs to ensure compliance with thermal requirements.
Conduct finite element analysis (FEA) to perform frequency, structural, and static studies on modules and subsystems to determine resonant frequencies, stress, strain, and fatigue life.
Generate detailed fabrication drawings incorporating geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
Create thorough assembly instructions, bill of materials (BOMs), and test reports for designs.
Assist in preparation and submission of data packages and contract deliverable reports.
Support engineering requests from various functional areas, including Manufacturing, Procurement, and Quality.
Collaborate with systems, PCB layout, and RF engineers in cross-functional teams throughout product development lifecycles.
Evaluate customer proposals to assess the feasibility of the mechanical design and contribute expertise in refining requirements to ensure successful implementation.
