7-month contract, extendable up to performance
Description:
This is a product design and development position designing and providing manufacturing support of highly sophisticated and reliable communications infrastructure products for professional and mission critical markets. Engineers in this position will function primarily as a mechanical engineer in large and/or complex team projects, as well as an individual contributor on smaller tasks and assignments. This role would also support method and process improvements or maintenance of existing product lines. Responsibilities include:
Preparing concept and prototype designs of mechanical systems as well as hands on design and analysis of individual parts and components.
Modeling complex component and assembly designs using advanced 3D CAD tools, and interpreting and generating 2D drawings per mechanical drafting standards.
Designing and conducting experiments using statistical tools and techniques to confirm analyses, evaluating new or existing designs to conform to product specifications.
Understanding and analysis of tolerances and effects on design.
Working with suppliers and commodity teams to meet cost and lead-time goals for tooling and piece parts.
Setting up and maintaining bills of materials and releasing mechanical prints.
Performing mechanical verification tests per product specifications and writing test reports.
Supporting factory quality and process issues and providing feedback to resolve.
-Preparing concept and prototype designs of mechanical systems as well as hands on design and analysis of individual parts and components, that meets customer requirements and expectations, reliability and robustness requirements, manufacturing processes and safety guidelines.
-Modeling complex component and assembly designs using advanced 3D CAD tools, and interpreting and generating 2D drawings per mechanical drafting standards.
-Designing and conducting experiments using statistical tools and techniques to confirm analyses, evaluating new or existing designs to conform to product specifications.
-Understanding and analysis of tolerances and effects on design.
-Working with suppliers and commodity teams to meet cost and lead-time goals for tooling and piece parts.
Requirements:
Previous experience with 3D design of parts and assemblies
Must have 2-3 years of experience with PTC Creo.
Must under basic of designing
Understanding of tolerances, drawing dimensioning schemes, tolerance analysis.
Understanding of Bill of Materials and assembly specifications.
Works autonomously but able to work effectively with other engineers within mechanical and other disciplines (electrical engineering, procurement, manufacturing, etc…).
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
What would be some nice-to-have skills for candidates and why? (e.g. experience in retail, familiarity with X programming language)
Previous experience with PCB assembly processes and techniques.
Previous experience designing sheet metal, die castings and cable assemblies is preferred.
Familiarity with statistical tolerance analysis.
Familiarity with Oracle Agile PLM.
Ability to perform hand or FEA calculations for stress and thermal. Demonstrated experience in Finite Element Analysis for structural and heat transfer applications highly desirable.
Use of test equipment such as thermal imaging, thermal scanners, air flow analysis and strain gauge tools.
