You will interact with optical, process, electronic, IC and application engineers to provide an advanced mechanical solution. This is a fast-paced, visible position, which has a direct impact on product development execution as well as division revenue.

Responsibilities

• Perform thermal simulations to determine thermal resistances, power dissipation, as well as mechanical stress over temperature
• The use of tools like Flotherm & Ansys to simulate and optimize models of complex electronic assemblies under various conditions
• Provide reports on the simulation results and findings from failure analysis
• Development of new products including execution on concepts, design, drawings, vendor selection, part evaluation, and product builds
• Generate designs and perform tolerance analysis of opto-mechanical structures
• Failure analysis and design of experiment
• Other activities will include generating designs of experiments, DFMEA, troubleshooting issues related to interoperability of components, hands‑on lab experimentation and dimensional metrology.

Qualifications

• Technical background with a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• At least 8 years of relevant experience in opto-mechanical designs
• Proficient in mechanical design using CAD tools (Solidworks preferred), Flotherm or Ansys
• Knowledge of how to design sheet metal, castings, injection mold parts material/vendor selection and first article assessment.
• Demonstrated written and oral communication skills for frequent customer interaction.
• Demonstrated ability to effectively work within a team in cross-functional and geographically-distributed environments.
• Demonstrated ability to dynamically prioritize assignments and work independently

Compensation and Benefits

• The annual base salary range for this position is USD 121,900.00 To USD 195,000.00
