Yank Technologies, Inc.; New York (NY); Sur place; USD 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Yank Technologies, Inc. is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to tackle complex design challenges from concept through detailed design.

You will design parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, select materials, create drawings, and maintain BOMs for in-house manufacturing and external vendors. Responsibilities include applying DFM/DFA, hands-on 3D printing, assembling and testing hardware, and developing thermal solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 3+ years of full-time experience in mechanical design and hardware development.
• Demonstrated ability to solve challenging mechanical design problems creatively and practically.
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including part and assembly modeling and drawings.
• Solid understanding of mechanical, structural, and thermal design fundamentals.
• Experience taking designs from concept through prototype and test.
• Experience with 3D printing and design for additive manufacturing.
• Hands-on experience assembling, testing, and debugging hardware.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced environment, meet deadlines, and make effective and timely decisions.
• Eagerness to learn new technologies and apply sound engineering to unfamiliar problems.

Responsabilités

• Solve complex mechanical design challenges, developing concepts and trade studies and carrying designs through detailed design.
• Design parts, mechanisms, and assemblies in SolidWorks, including precision, adjustable, and multi-part assemblies.
• Select materials, fasteners, and manufacturing processes appropriate to each application.
• Create engineering drawings and maintain BOMs and CAD data for in-house fabrication and outside vendors.
• Apply design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) principles and work with vendors on machined, printed, and fabricated parts.
• Hands-on experience with 3D printing, including printer operation, material selection, and design for additive manufacturing.
• Assemble, test, and troubleshoot hardware in the lab, and refine designs based on results.
• Develop practical thermal solutions, such as heat sinks, thermoelectric coolers, and improved conduction paths, using hand calculations and quick simulations to guide design decisions.
• Participate in design reviews and produce clear documentation, test reports, and assembly procedures.
• Collaborate with electrical, systems, and manufacturing teams on system-level integration and the transition from prototype to production.
