Summary of the Role:

Designs, analyzes, develops, modifies and evaluates materials, mechanical systems, equipment and packaging. Conducts feasibility, design margin and validation analysis and empirical testing on new and modified designs. Leads and/or assists in architecture development and assessment. Evaluates reliability of materials, properties, designs, and techniques used in production. May direct support personnel and/or partner organizations in the preparation of detailed design, design testing, prototype fabrication, and production tooling.

Responsible for addressing thermal challenges in support of server designs. This position entails developing and delivering cost‑effective mechanical and cooling solutions that are best in class mechanically, thermally and acoustically. Involves mechanical design as well as system level thermal design involving fan and heatsink technology, materials science, chemistry, fluid flow as well as system level control logic. The job will also include initial concept work, mechanical design, thermal simulation (Flotherm or other CFD software) oversight, and creation of a mockup (dummy heat loads) and solution validation.

Responsible for interfacing with vendors on an array of technical issues. Some foreign and domestic travel necessary.

• Designs portions of engineering solutions for mechanical and thermal hardware, electronics enclosures, and production tooling based on established engineering principles and in accordance with provided specifications and requirements.
• Manages and expands relationships with internal and outsourced development partners on mechanical and thermal design and development.
• Reviews and evaluates designs and project activities for compliance with technology and development guidelines and standards; provides tangible feedback to improve product quality.
• Implements established test plans for existing designs, including validation of tolerances, form/fit/function, shock and vibration, electromagnetic interference, safety, reliability, developing fan curves, system power measurements & acoustics.
• Participates as a member of project team of other mechanical hardware engineers and internal and outsourced development partners to develop reliable, cost effective and high‑quality solutions for moderately‑complex products.
• Communicates well verbally, in writing, and graphically.
• Works independently and as part of a team.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Typically 0‑2 years experience.

• Experience or understanding of Pro Engineer, Creo, Solid Works, or other 3D CAD software as a mechanical design tool.
• Good analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Understanding of design for sheet metal and plastic parts and associated production tooling and processes.
• Understanding of thermal properties of materials and heat transfer.
• Good written and verbal communication skills; mastery in English and local language.
