This is a senior-level, hands-on technical leadership role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of mechanical design, thermal architecture, and cross-functional collaboration.
You’ll be responsible for defining, developing, and validating innovative thermal and mechanical solutions that meet demanding performance, reliability, and manufacturability goals across multiple product lines.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design/implement infrastructure that supports test and qualification of our Instinct product in production
- Manufacturing solutions for our thermal requirements
- Create detailed designs for mechanical systems and build/test prototypes to validate the designs.
- Develop innovative approaches to cool the systems and use advanced tools to analyze thermal performance.
- Conduct simulations and experiments to verify the designs, ensure compliance with industry standards.
- Identify and resolve mechanical and thermal related problems.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive product development while keeping projects on schedule and within scope.
- Manage new product development mechanical/thermal processes to ensure successful product launches on time.
- Oversee the manufacturing process of mechanical/thermal components and systems to ensure that quality and specifications are met.
- Stay at the forefront of mechanical and thermal innovations and technologies to provide strategic product and process enhancements.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Extensive experience leading robotic automation mechanical design efforts, with a proven track record of delivering high-performance, reliable hardware solutions.
- Strong background in robotic automation, mechanical/electro design, analysis, and validation.
- Knowledge of Design for Assembly/Manufacturing and statical tolerance analysis.
- Proficiency in using advanced 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks, ProEngineer.
- Experience with thermal and structural analysis tools such as Ansys tools.
- Hands-on experience on latest liquid cooling technologies/approaches.
- Strong data analysis skills to analyze mechanical and thermal test results.
- Excellent problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
Bachelor’s degree, Master’s preferred in Mechanical Engineering
