Department Overview

Job Description

• Responsible for the design and development of robust, mission-critical communications devices for commercial, government, and industrial markets as part of a core engineering team.

• Prepare concept designs of mechanical sub-systems that meet customer expectations, reliability/robustness requirements, manufacturing processes, and safety guidelines.

• Work with the engineering team to generate the overall design concept for the mechanical sub-system architecture and perform detailed mechanical design (DFM) for components, including plastic injection molding, metal stamping, casting, rubber/elastomers, rigid and flexible PCBs, and evaluation of existing standard parts.

•  Conduct feasibility studies and prototyping to validate initial ideas and execute Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA). 

• Perform Tolerance Analysis and define tolerances, understanding their effect on design and manufacturing (utilizing a Six Sigma (6σ) design methodology).

• Generate accurate 3D models and 2D drawings per mechanical drafting standards and release mechanical prints.

• Set up and maintain the Bill of Materials (BOM).

• Verify designs using CAE tools and functional testing, perform mechanical verification tests per product specifications, and compile detailed test reports.

• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) by conducting experiments using statistical tools and techniques to confirm root cause of failure. Present data using statistical methodologies.

• Support mold trials, prototype builds, and testing.

• Compile information required for user manuals and instruction sheets.   

Basic Requirements

• At least a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.

• Self-motivated, assertive, results driven, and consistently delivering strong outcomes within deadlines.

• Demonstrated successful experience in mechanical engineering design from concept development through production release, with a strong focus on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and a solid knowledge of material properties. Experience with various manufacturing processes such as plastic injection molding, casting, metal stamping, plastic bonding, and PCBA & Electromechanical assembly is a plus.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and present data using statistical methodologies.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD and 2D drawing generation, specifically with Pro/E Creo is a plus

• Experience in performing Tolerance Analysis and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) is a plus.

• Ability to communicate and present conceptual ideas effectively to technical audiences.

• Ability to work effectively both as an individual and as a strong team player.
