If you enjoy hands-on design, technical problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and having a visible impact on products and processes, this is an opportunity to grow your expertise and make a difference at Wilson Connectivity.

Areas of Responsibility

Lead the mechanical design of complex products, parts, enclosures, and assemblies from requirements definition and concept development through prototyping, qualification, tooling, production release, and sustaining engineering.

Translate product, RF, electrical, thermal, environmental, regulatory, cost, and manufacturing requirements into robust mechanical architectures and detailed designs.

Create and maintain production-ready 3D models, 2D drawings, tolerance analyses, bills of materials, and technical specifications using SolidWorks.

Apply design for manufacturing and assembly principles across injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, die casting, extrusion, additive manufacturing, and related processes.

Perform and document structural, thermal, airflow, and other relevant simulations; correlate analytical results with prototype and qualification testing.

Define mechanical verification and validation plans, design test fixtures, oversee environmental and mechanical testing, and document results and corrective actions.

Lead design reviews, tolerance stack-up analyses, and DFMEA activities to identify risks early and drive them to closure.

Partner with suppliers, contract manufacturers, sourcing, and quality teams on material selection, tooling, manufacturability, cost, yield, and production readiness.

Manage CAD files, drawings, BOMs, engineering change orders, and product configuration within PDM and PLM systems while maintaining accurate revision control.

Investigate field and production issues using disciplined root-cause analysis and implement durable corrective and preventive actions.

Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other engineers and contribute to the continuous improvement of mechanical design standards, tools, and processes.
