Job description

Staff Mechanical Engineer

Experience Level: Professional

Job Type: Regular

Location: Richardson, TX, US, 75081

Requisition ID: 10162

Qorvo is seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Defense & Aerospace SSPA product development team. This is a senior-level role within the D&A SSPA product development team. You will apply your extensive mechanical experience of RF/electronics circuits, modules, and chassis/LRUs design for aerospace/military customers to derive innovative, cutting‑edge solid‑state RF power amplifier solutions for defense communications, radar and electronic warfare (EW) applications.

You will be assigned goals and allocated technical, program, schedule, and cost requirements at a high level. You will derive and implement plans to ensure those goals are met and produce hardware designs in compliance with requirements. You should be comfortable working closely with a cross‑functional engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Mechanical development and design support of high‑power RF amplifiers, sub‑systems and chassis/LRUs from concept through volume production.
• Implement product development plans to ensure all requirements, schedule and cost goals are met.
• Develop conceptual and detailed designs; create and maintain bill of materials (BOM).
• Derive and implement novel convective and conductive thermal control solutions for both forced‑air and liquid‑cooled electronics.
• Model and conduct FEA thermal, shock and vibration analysis of circuit board assemblies, LRUs and structures.
• Create and maintain engineering drawings, documentation and bill of materials; perform tolerance analysis using GD&T.
• Conduct and participate in peer reviews, internal and customer‑facing design reviews.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum of 8 years’ mechanical design experience of subsystems, chassis/LRUs, circuit card assemblies and interconnects of RF and digital electronics for aerospace and military customers.
• Must be comfortable working as part of a cross‑functional engineering team with open interchange of ideas.
• Proven ability to work with limited supervision and meet commitments for assigned technical, schedule and cost goals.
• Experience with FEA thermal and structural modeling and analysis; working knowledge of Solidworks, Ansys and Flotherm is preferred.
• Experience with military and aerospace specifications, including environmental requirements (design for extreme temperatures, altitude, vibration, shock, salt fog, etc.).
