Job summary

HCL Technologies Limited in Alameda, CA seeks a Senior Design Lead Mech Design to produce detailed CAD drawings and release-ready documentation for an electronics/datacenter module. You will model in Creo, manage PLM data, and ensure tight GD&T control across ECAD/MCAD interfaces.

Strong collaboration with EE and layout teams is required. Responsibilities include drafting release packages, BOM maintenance, KOZ/KIZ, and DFM/ DFA input.

Qualifications

• 5+ years mechanical detailed design and drafting on electronics or server/datacenter hardware.
• Proficient in Creo (Pro/E) — part and assembly modeling, detailed drawings.
• Production PLM experience — drawing release workflow, ECO / change control, revision control.
• Strong GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and hands-on tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Hands-on ECAD/MCAD IDF/IDX exchange with EE / layout teams.

Responsibilities

• Detailed Creo modeling of the module assembly and piece parts.
• Release-quality drawings with full GD&T, and tolerance stack-ups.
• Prepare drawing-release packages and ECO / change-control records; maintain master CAD and BOM in Meta’s PLM.
• Run the ECAD/MCAD IDF/IDX exchange — issue IDF to ECAD with PKO plus heatsink/stiffener parameters; maintain KOZ/KIZ layouts.
• Cold-plate and hose routing detail; mounting and torque callouts.
• Socket and silicon validation board (EVB) detail support.
• Support DFM / DFA reviews with assembly-sequence, serviceability and service-tooling detail.
• Incorporate redlines from Meta design reviews back into CAD; keep revisions clean and traceable.

Job Summary

Mechanical CAD Engineer

Role. Produce detailed CAD and release-quality drawings for the module.

Key Responsibilities

Detailed Creo modeling of the module assembly and piece parts

• Release-quality drawings with full GD&T, and tolerance stack-ups
• Prepare drawing-release packages and ECO / change-control records; maintain master CAD and BOM in Meta’s PLM
• Run the ECAD/MCAD IDF/IDX exchange — issue IDF to ECAD with PKO plus heatsink/stiffener parameters; maintain the mechanical keep-out / keep-in zones (KOZ/KIZ) that bound component layout
• Cold-plate and hose routing detail; mounting and torque callouts
• Socket and silicon validation board (EVB) detail support
• Support DFM / DFA reviews with assembly-sequence, serviceability and service-tooling detail (e.g. module service handle)
• Incorporate redlines from Meta design reviews back into CAD; keep revisions clean and traceable

Skill Requirements

Must-have

• 5+ years mechanical detailed design and drafting on electronics or server / datacenter hardware
• Proficient in Creo (Pro/E) — part and assembly modeling, detailed drawings
• Production PLM experience — drawing release workflow, ECO / change control, revision control (any mainstream PLM)
• Strong GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and hands-on tolerance stack-up analysis
• Hands-on ECADMCAD IDF/IDX exchange with EE / layout teams
• Works cleanly to someone else’s design intent; disciplined documentation habits

Nice-to-have

• Liquid cooling: cold plates, hoses, QDs, manifolds
• PCBA-level mechanical packaging; connector mechanical
• Hands-on DFM / manufacturability feedback loops with suppliers
• Sheet metal and machined-part detailing
• Windchill specifically — Meta’s module CAD and drawings are mastered there, so prior Windchill use shortens ramp-up
