Job description

Join to apply for the Mechanical Simulation Engineer role at Molex.

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 for 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

  1. Conduct dynamic simulations to support product development at multiple sites, including modal analysis, vibration, shock, and drop tests, with and without packaging. Provide guidelines for design optimization to meet specifications and ensure reliability.
  2. Perform static structural simulations to analyze deformation and stress caused by external forces or environmental temperature changes, guiding product design and testing.
  3. Carry out other simulations such as seam seal, laser welding, soldering, fatigue, MEMS mechanical performance, and opto-mechanical integrated simulations in collaboration with optical simulation engineers.
  4. Collaborate with mechanical and electrical design engineers to optimize mechanical and PCB layouts, select appropriate materials to minimize deformation and stress, and meet manufacturing and specification requirements.
  5. Work with reliability engineers to design and verify reliability tests to ensure product performance.
  6. Develop new simulation capabilities to address emerging issues in production.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

  1. Master’s or Ph.D. in mechanical engineering or related fields with strong analytical skills.
  2. Fundamentals in dynamics and solid mechanics.
  3. Minimum 5 years of experience in the telecommunication industry or related fields, with at least 3 years in simulation and modeling.
  4. Proficiency in ANSYS Mechanics, Icepak, SolidWorks, or SpaceClaim.
  5. Ability to read and create 2D/3D models and drawings.
  6. Strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn new methodologies.
  7. Team player with good analysis, reporting, and documentation skills.

What Will Put You Ahead

  1. Experience with tools like ANSYS Electronics, FloTherm, Abaqus.
  2. Knowledge of dynamics and solid mechanics.
  3. Fluency in Mandarin is a plus.

Salary is estimated between $125,000 and $190,000 per year, with potential variable pay. We value diversity and are committed to equal opportunity employment, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds.
