The Mechanical Engineer will design and develop efficient and cost-effective power supplies per customer and regulatory specifications (i.e., sheet metal enclosures, stamped and extruded heatsinks, cable assemblies, etc.) including thermal/acoustic/vibration design and simulation, 3D board layout and prototype testing.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop efficient and cost-effective power supplies per customer and regulatory specifications (i.e., sheet metal enclosures, stamped and extruded heatsinks, cable assemblies, water cooled cold plates, etc.) including thermal design and simulation, 3D board Layout and prototype testing
• Work in a team environment with hardware engineers, electrical engineers, firmware engineers, and program managers on product development of extensive scope
• Utilize strong communication and team skills. Persuading and gaining agreement with cross functional teams (hardware) and the ability to effectively communicate with multiple levels of an organization
• Participate in design reviews to improve mechanical and thermal design
• Exercise engineering judgment to select and develop methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria to secure project success
• Analyze test data and reports to determine if design meets functional and performance specifications
• Interface with internal departments to ensure cost and schedule goals are met
• Responsible to diagnose issues of diverse scope with design, field performance, root cause/failure analysis, reliability and manufacturing test yields of existing power supply products using formal investigation methods and to recommend/implement corrective actions to address
