Mechanical Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electronic parts, components, board layouts and planning, mechanical systems, equipment, and packaging for reliability, performance, and manufacturability.
• Contribute to thermal-cooling strategies and mechanical architecture for server generations from feasibility studies through production.
• Use CAD tools such as ProE and SolidWorks to create 3D models and detailed mechanical designs in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Contribute to mechanical design of electronics enclosures or embedded systems and align designs with hardware systems and requirements.
• Review stress, strain, and finite element analysis results to assess mechanical strength and reliability, and address challenges independently.
• Identify potential failure points and conduct root-cause and corrective-action analysis to refine designs and improve reliability.
• Ensure designs are manufacturable within cost and quality constraints, working with Operations and external manufacturers on prototype-to-production transition.
• Guide design development to meet project timelines and collaborate across teams to optimize manufacturing processes.
• Conduct reliability assessments of materials and designs and ensure products meet company standards.
• Oversee prototype builds and testing, assess functional and performance goals, and identify areas for improvement.
• Analyze test data to identify bugs, defects, and failure trends.
• Research and implement next-generation technologies for data center and cloud application products.
• Evaluate and integrate new materials, processes, and mechanical design techniques.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers, component engineers, operations teams, and other stakeholders to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Engage suppliers to develop components and assemblies that meet performance and cost goals.
• Work with manufacturing to transition designs to production.
• Manage mechanical design work in coordination with program schedules; coordinate resources, timelines, and design reviews for the assigned project portion.
• Document design processes and decisions and communicate with stakeholders to maintain alignment with project objectives and schedules.
• As needed, conduct thermal analysis and design using CFD tools such as FloTHERM or Icepak.
• As needed, develop and execute airflow measurements, environmental testing, and thermal validation, including correlation with simulation results and compliance with applicable standards such as ASHRAE Data Center Standards.
• As needed, manage standards activities across the development lifecycle and oversee environmental testing with internal teams or third-party laboratories.
• As needed, communicate test results and issues to design engineers and program managers and advise on development constraints.
• Coordinate moderately complex tasks, timelines, and deliverables; delegate, monitor, and prioritize work across projects; provide technical oversight and adjust plans as resources or timelines change.
• Collaborate across the organization, understand stakeholder and customer needs, and support inclusivity by seeking and listening to diverse perspectives.
• Analyze information to address moderately complex issues, escalate unresolved or critical issues with an assessment and proposed solutions, and document problem-solving strategies.
• Pursue learning and feedback, stay current with industry trends and best practices, and coach and mentor junior team members.
• Recommend and help implement process improvements, evaluate their impact, and solicit feedback on alternative approaches.
• Participate in candidate interviews, assess candidates, and provide hiring recommendations.
