Manages mechanical design aspects of engineering projects, ensuring alignment with project timelines, quality standards, and design goals.

• Independently designs and develops electronic parts, components, board layout and board planning, mechanical systems, equipment, and packaging, ensuring reliability, performance, and manufacturability.
• Contributes to setting thermal cooling strategies and designs mechanical architecture for server generations, from feasibility studies to production.
• Utilizes advanced computer assisted design (CAD) tools (e.g., ProE, Solid Works) to develop 3D models and detailed mechanical designs, collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine solutions.
• Contributes to the mechanical design of electronics enclosures or embedded systems, ensuring alignment with hardware systems and design requirements.

• Reviews the results of stress analysis, strain analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate the mechanical strength and reliability of materials and components, addressing challenges independently.
• Identifies and addresses potential points of failure, conducting root cause and corrective action analysis to refine designs and improve reliability.

• Ensures that designs are manufacturable within cost and quality constraints, working closely with Operations and External Manufacturers to support the transition from prototype to production.
• Guides the design development process, ensuring alignment with project timelines and collaborating across teams to optimize manufacturing processes.

• Conducts reliability assessments of materials and designs, ensuring products meet company standards.
• Oversees prototype build and testing processes, ensuring designs meet functional and performance goals while identifying areas for improvement.
• Analyzes test data to detect bugs, defects, and failure trends.

• Researches and implements next-generation technologies to optimize data center and cloud application products.
• Evaluates and integrates new materials, processes, and mechanical design techniques, contributing to continuous innovation and product improvement.
