Job description

Your Job

Molex possesses a rich heritage in the optical industry. We provide the highest performing and field-proven wavelength management solutions from components, modules to integrated line-cards. Continuous innovation in passive component function integration, miniaturization, and manufacturing automation, cutting edge WSS and amplification technology and comprehensive optical, mechanical, electrical and software design capabilities enable us to serve the needs of high-density, high-bandwidth, and flexible optical networks of telecom, datacom, hyperscale datacenter and supercomputing.

Located in Fremont, California, we are looking for a talented Mechanical Simulation Engineer to join our team. The engineer for this position will work with a global multi-disciplined team, including mechanical, electrical, optical, reliability, and production line teams.

What You Will Do

• Do dynamic simulation to support multiple product development sites in either module or component level. The simulation includes modal analysis, vibration, shock and drop with and without package and provide guidelines for optimization of product designs to meet spec and avoid any reliability issues in terms of deformation, stress, collision, acceleration, etc.
• Do static structural simulation to analyze deformation and stress induced by either external forces or environmental temperature changes to guide product design and pass all tests.
• Do other simulations such as seam seal, laser welding, soldering, fatigue, MEMS chip's mechanical performance simulation, opto-mechanical integrated simulation by working together with optical simulation engineers, etc.
• Work with mechanical and electrical design engineers to modify and optimize mechanical layout and electrical PCB layout designs as well as choose proper materials (metal, non-mental, ceramic, glass, epoxy, etc.) to minimize deformation and stress and meet manufacture requirements and the spec.
• Work with reliability engineers to design various reliability tests, verify the reliability performance of product, and pass test for product delivery.
• Help develop new simulation capabilities requested from product developments to solve the issues and problems newly encountered in production.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Master or Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering or related technical fields or discipline with strong analytical capabilities.
• Solid fundamentals in dynamics and solid mechanics.
• At least 5 years working experience in telecommunication industry or other related industries or institutes with at least 3 years experience in simulation and modeling.
• Proficient in using ANSYS Mechanics, Icepak, Solidworks or SpaceClaim, etc.
• Familiar with mechanical design and be able to create and read 2D/3D model and drawing.
• Eager to learn and have strong ability to develop new methodologies for solving the problems.
• Good team player to work with cross-discipline teams.
• Good skills in analysis, creating simulation reports, and model documentation.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Familiarity to other tools such as ANSYS Electronics, FloTherm, Abaqus is a plus to the position.
• Knowledge of dynamics and solid mechanics.
• Fluency in Mandarin is a plus.

For this role, we anticipate paying $125,000 - $190,000 per year. This role is eligible for variable pay, issued as a monetary bonus or in another form.
