Join the team developing the world's highest-performance oscilloscopes, delivering industry-leading electrical and optical bandwidth with the lowest jitter. As manufacturers of voice and data communication systems continue pushing performance boundaries, Keysight's solutions enable engineers in R&D and manufacturing to better understand and overcome the challenges associated with next-generation data transfer rates for internet and datacenter infrastructure.

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to play a key role in the development of Keysight's industry-leading Digital Sampling Oscilloscopes. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of expert R&D engineers, you will lead mechanical engineering activities from concept through production, helping bring innovative technologies and products to market faster and more efficiently than ever before.

In this role, you will serve as a primary Mechanical Engineer for the organization, providing technical leadership and mentorship while driving all aspects of product design. Responsibilities span system-level mechanical architecture, opto-mechanical design, RF and LF cable assemblies, sheet metal chassis, die-cast components, thermal and structural analysis, and mechanical validation testing to ensure products meet Keysight's high standards for performance, reliability, and quality.

• Partner with marketing and engineering teams to define product requirements and translate them into mechanical design requirements for new platforms.
• Collaborate with development partners, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering teams to develop innovative mechanical solutions at both the component and system levels.
• Lead mechanical design efforts from concept through prototype development, validation, manufacturing release, and production support.
• Design, prototype, and evaluate parts and assemblies throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Perform validation and verification activities, including thermal, vibration, shock, and long-term reliability testing.
• Conduct structural and thermal analysis to support design decisions and ensure product robustness.
• Work closely with internal manufacturing teams and external suppliers to ensure designs are manufacturable and meet cost, quality, and schedule objectives.
• Create and maintain detailed mechanical drawings, GD&T specifications, tolerance analyses, and design documentation.
• Mentor and support junior engineers while promoting engineering best practices.

• BS or MS degree in Mechanical Engineering with 3-5 years of relevant industry experience.
• Proven track record of successfully developing complex electro-mechanical products from concept through high-volume production.
• Strong mechanical design, analytical problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Experience designing complex electro-mechanical systems and thermal management solutions.
• Knowledge of sheet metal, precision machined parts, plastics, RF and LF cable assemblies, and associated fabrication processes.
• Intermediate to advanced proficiency with Siemens NX (preferred) or a comparable parametric 3D CAD platform.
• Strong expertise in mechanical drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
• Experience with precision opto-mechanical products, optical-to-electrical converters, or fiber-optic cable alignment is a plus.
• Familiarity with structural and thermal simulation tools.
• Experience transferring designs to manufacturing and supporting production through release and sustaining phases.
• Demonstrated ability to succeed in a fast-paced, collaborative development environment and working on multiple projects concurrently.
• Self-motivated with the ability to independently translate broad objectives into tangible results and deliver on schedule.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across all organizational levels.
