• Generate and review PCB DXF files, board outlines, mechanical keep-outs, mounting locations, component clearances, labels and dimensional constraints.
• Create and review 2D drawings, 3D CAD models, assemblies, and product visualizations using tools such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks.
• Perform product-level mechanical assessments covering PCB, components, packages, connectors, enclosures, mounting features, thermal solutions, and assembly constraints.
• Perform mechanical stack-up, tolerance, clearance, fit, interference, and component-height analysis.
• Understand and execute mechanical simulation workflows, including model preparation, material properties, boundary conditions, simulation execution, results interpretation, and design optimization.
• Support mechanical stress, shock, vibration, structural integrity, and PCB warpage assessments, using appropriate simulation and measurement tools.
• Assess the impact of component packaging, PCB deformation, and mechanical stress on product reliability.
• Design, assess, develop, and characterize mechanical and thermal fixtures for product validation, characterization, debug, and reliability testing.
• Support thermal engineering activities including thermal fixture development, temperature-control solutions, and liquid-cooling approaches where applicable.
• Perform dimensional, Z-height, flatness, deformation, and warpage measurements and support mechanical failure analysis/root-cause investigation.
• Conduct DFM/DFA reviews and work closely with PCB layout, electrical hardware, thermal, validation, reliability, quality, manufacturing, and supplier teams.
• Translate product and customer mechanical requirements into actionable engineering specifications and design constraints.
• Identify opportunities to leverage AI, automation, and emerging engineering tools to improve CAD, simulation, analysis, documentation, and engineering productivity.
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement through new design methodologies, fixture concepts, automation, and reusable engineering practices.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Thermal Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Relevant experience in mechanical/product engineering for SSD, semiconductor, electronics, computing, or embedded hardware products.
• Hands-on proficiency with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or equivalent 2D/3D CAD tools.
• Experience with PCB DXF generation/review, 3D modeling, mechanical drawings, tolerance analysis, and product-level mechanical integration.
• Experience with mechanical simulation workflows, stress/structural analysis, shock/vibration, and PCB warpage assessment.
• Experience designing and developing mechanical and thermal test fixtures.
• Understanding of DFM/DFA, PCB assembly, component/package mechanical constraints, and product reliability considerations.
• Demonstrated ability to perform mechanical failure analysis, root-cause analysis, and design optimization.
• Strong problem-solving, ownership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Demonstrated innovation mindset and adaptability to AI-enabled engineering tools and workflows.
• A strong team player capable of collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary and geographically distributed engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SSD/storage or high-density electronic hardware.
• Knowledge of PCB, and semiconductor-package mechanical considerations.
• Exposure to thermal characterization, temperature-control equipment, liquid cooling, warpage/metrology tools, and reliability testing.
• Experience supporting products from concept/design through qualification and manufacturing release.
