We are extremely proud to partner with our customers enabling their product through the full product lifecycle.

At AMT, you will work on some of the most innovative programs and products that address emerging markets, including optical and RF communication, datacenter connectivity, quantum computing, automotive sensing systems, medical devices and diagnostics and test & measurement systems, to name a few.

Come and join us, and be part of a team that challenges you to be your best, where you will be empowered to make a difference and where we are extremely proud of what we deliver, together.

JOB PURPOSE

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with relevant FEA experience to support the development of advanced optical/micro-electronic components, modules and sub-systems to meet our customers’ needs. The position involves both leading and supporting projects across various development phases, from concept definition to implementation into volume manufacturing.

NATURE OF DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work within a multidisciplinary development team to provide mechanical design solutions and analysis solutions to meet design specifications. Design projects include, but are not limited to:
  • Telecommunications components/modules/subsystems (lasers, detectors, modulators, optical receivers, amplifiers, transceivers, etc).
  • Microelectronic packages & multi chip modules (MCM)
  • Sensing / LiDAR optical components/systems.
  • High performance Test and Measurement Solutions.
  • High speed RF applications.
  • Medical, biomedical, military components.
• Apply FEA and CFD analysis tools to evaluate linear and non-linear materials (parts and assemblies) in terms of predicting: stress states, fatigue, reliability (SJR), thermal behavior/performance, warpage/deformation, modal response, and combined thermal/stress/strain/deformation behavior.
• Define design concepts and select key opto-mechanical and microelectronic packaging technologies in-line with requirements.
• Perform design risk assessments and define appropriate mitigations.
• Work with process and test engineering teams to ensure alignment of designs with process and test capabilities. Work with component suppliers to ensure design alignment to supplier manufacturing practices (DFM).
• Perform detailed statistical tolerance analysis of products and test fixturing/assembly tooling.
• Generate documentation including design specifications, part drawings, assembly drawings, Bill of Materials, common feature drawings and process flows.
• Support the definition and management of project plans to meet end deliverables and help coordinate activities within the multidisciplinary development team.
• Support prototype builds and engineering design verification to ensure compliance to requirements.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

• Relevant engineering degree required with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
• Experience using 3D modeling tools (SolidWorks strongly preferred).
• Experience using (and validating results of) FEA and CFD analysis tools (ANSYS strongly preferred) .
• Experience in optical and microelectronic technologies, materials, components, assembly and integration processes.
• Understanding of applicable material technologies including eutectic solders, adhesives and thermal interface materials.
• Experience in end-to-end product development, with product manufacturing implementation considered an asset.
