Board-Level Mechanical Engineer - High-Density PCB Systems

Socket.dev; Seattle (WA); On-site; USD 110,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD in Seattle seeks an experienced Mechanical Engineer to own board-level mechanical design for next-gen AI and HPC platforms. You will define mechanical interfaces, ensure tight integration with electrical and thermal systems, and drive manufacturability across trays, enclosures, and rack interfaces.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams across design, thermal, and reliability to address deflection, stiffness, and integration challenges, delivering robust, scalable solutions suited

Qualifications

• Experience with mechanical design of electronic assemblies, including PCB-based systems or similar high-density hardware.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design fundamentals, including structural support and component integration.
• Experience with CAD tools for design and layout of mechanical features.

Responsibilities

• Own the mechanical definition of complex PCB designs, including board outline, mounting constraints, and keep-out requirements.
• Define and implement mechanical features for large, high-density boards, including stiffening strategies and support locations.
• Work with system mechanical engineers to align board design with trays, enclosures, and rack interfaces.
• Collaborate with thermal engineering to support cooling solutions and heat sink integration.
• Co-develop layouts with electrical design to balance mechanical constraints with routing and packaging needs.
• Coordinate with fabrication, assembly, and reliability teams to ensure manufacturability and reliability.
• Support bring-up and validation by diagnosing mechanical integration issues in prototypes and production.
• Contribute to board-level thermal design by addressing heat transfer and interface to cooling solutions.
