Mechanical Designer - Electronics Packaging (Future Opportunities)

We're looking for a highly motivated Mechanical Designer who designs mechanical systems supporting electro-mechanical products.

You will be involved in the development of mechanical design solutions for electronics products supporting Syntronic’s cross-industry customer base: Telecom, Industrial, Medical, Defense-Aerospace, Consumer, etc.

Minimum 5-8 years of applicable work experience, preferably in electronics product development

What you'll do

• Develop, design and document mechanical assemblies and components including but not limited to fabricated metal components (milled, turned, stamped, and cast components), plastic injection molded components, and wire assemblies and cabling as needed.
• Development of solutions for electronics enclosures for thermal management, EMI/RF containment, interconnect, sealing and ruggedization to meet customer environmental requirements
• Development of solutions for printed circuit boards and assemblies (PCB / PCBA) for mechanical integrity, mounting, thermal management, EMI/RF containment, interconnect, grounding, etc.
• Develop, design and document manufacturing, manufacturing test, and assembly fixtures and contribute to writing the manufacturing documentation for these fixtures' implementation.
• Investigate and solve problems as it relates to mechanical functionality of components and assemblies.
• Write engineering change notices.
• Perform component research and recommendation.
• Assist with assessment of suppliers and supplied product conformance.

What you'll need to get the job done

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering
• 5-8 years of experience in mechanical design (Sheet Metal, Machined, Casting, Plastic Injection Molding)
• Excellent Mechanical CAD Design Tool skills (SolidWorks, CREO or equivalent)
• Strong organizational, analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to quickly learn and apply new concepts, technologies and solutions
• Ability to interface with various disciplines/functional groups
• Team Player with strong verbal and written communication skills

What will make us REALLY love you

• Design Experience within Defence industry
• Experience with MIL-STD requirements and testing (MIL-STD-810H, MIL-DTL-901E, MIL-STD-461, etc)
• Ability to obtain and maintain CGP and/or Secret Clearance
• Hands-on experience with finite element analysis (FEA) for structural and vibration modeling (ANSYS/SW-Sim, etc), and thermal/CFD modeling (SW-FlowSim/Flotherm, etc) with the ability to correlate simulation outputs to empirical test results.
• Background in DFM/DFA for high-reliability assemblies, including collaboration with contract manufacturers to optimize tolerances, materials, and processes for defense-grade production.
