Job description

You will work on challenging mechanical design and system-integration problems involving advanced networking ASICs, high-density electronics, high-speed interconnects, power delivery, and thermal management. The role spans the complete product lifecycle from early architecture and concept development through detailed design, validation, manufacturing, and production., * Design and deliver next-generation AI networking and data-center systems, including fixed and modular chassis, cards, and complex electromechanical assemblies.

  • Develop innovative mechanical solutions using sheet metal, plastics, die castings, and machined components while meeting EMI, safety, reliability, manufacturing, and compliance requirements.
  • Develop detailed 3D CAD models using Creo and/or Siemens NX.
  • Create production drawings using GD&T and sound mechanical design practices.
  • Perform detailed tolerance and stack-up analysis for complex electromechanical assemblies.
  • Work closely with PCB and hardware teams to exchange ECAD/MCAD data, manage component placement, and resolve mechanical integration issues.
  • Collaborate with thermal engineers on high-power and high-density cooling solutions.
  • Work directly with manufacturing teams and suppliers to resolve prototype, production, and field design issues.
  • Lead and participate in peer, architecture, and cross-functional design reviews.
  • Take ownership of designs from concept through prototype, validation, tooling, and production.

Requirements

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent with 7+ years of mechanical design experience in electronic or electromechanical products.
  • Strong experience with 3D MCAD tools, preferably Creo and/or NX.
  • Experience designing sheet-metal products for medium- to high-volume manufacturing.
  • Strong knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis.
  • Knowledge of sheet-metal, plastic, machining, and die-cast manufacturing processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex mechanical problems and work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams.

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following is highly desirable:

  • Mechanical design of networking, server, AI/ML, HPC, or data-center equipment
  • High-density electronic packaging and advanced ASIC/PCB integration
  • Liquid cooling or high-power thermal architectures
  • High-speed electrical or optical interconnects
  • Structural analysis and mechanical validation
  • Design and manufacturing of prototypes, fixtures, and test hardware

Benefits & conditions

  • 401(k)
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
