• Design, develop, and sustain electro‑mechanical products for Test & Measurement applications.
• Partner with Operations and suppliers to optimize designs for manufacturability, quality, and cost.
• Support product sustainment, value engineering, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Create and validate mechanical designs through prototyping, testing, and analysis.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Lead or contribute to small engineering projects from concept through production.
• Drive innovative solutions for thermal, structural, and mechanical challenges.
• Support occasional travel as required.

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME/MSME)

• 6+ years of electro‑mechanical product design experience.
• Experience designing products containing electronic assemblies.
• Experience working with manufacturing teams and external suppliers.
• Experience in product prototyping, testing, validation, and design evaluation.
• Experience leading small engineering projects.

• Expert knowledge of sheet metal design, fabrication, GD&T, tolerancing, and assembly techniques.
• Ability to analyze and optimize chassis designs for structural integrity and strength‑to‑weight performance.
• Ability to visualize system‑level assembly requirements and integrate them into overall product architecture.
• Experience designing:
  • Plastic components
  • Machined parts
  • Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
  • Cable assemblies

• Advanced proficiency with:
  • Creo
  • Windchill
• Experience with Creo Simulate is preferred.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.

• Strong thermal design and analysis experience.
• Experience using CFD tools and methodologies.
• Ability to develop thermal models from CAD concepts and correlate simulation results with empirical data.
• Experience performing thermal analysis from component‑level designs through complete system‑level models.

• Understanding of production and assembly processes for electronic equipment.
• Knowledge of additive manufacturing processes and applications.
• Ability to design independently and execute projects with minimal supervision.

• Strong problem‑solving capabilities with a data‑driven approach.
• Experience applying statistics and Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques to engineering challenges.
• Ability to evaluate and optimize designs using dynamic, thermal, and EMC considerations.

• Experience with RF interconnects and shielding design.
• Experience in Test & Measurement instrumentation or related high‑technology products.
• Experience supporting products throughout their full lifecycle, including sustainment engineering and value engineering initiatives.

The ideal candidate is a collaborative, detail‑oriented engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and translating customer requirements into innovative, high‑performance products. They bring a strong engineering foundation, thrive in cross‑functional environments, and are passionate about delivering world‑class solutions for Tektronix customers.
