Job Title: Mechanical Engineer III

Job Description

The person filling this role will work on structural and thermal finite element simulations. This requires a deep understanding of shock/vibrations, failure analysis, heat transfer, and strength of materials. Expertise in using ANSYS and/or Abaqus is essential, along with experience in implicit and explicit finite element methods. Familiarity with optics and optical simulations is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Deliver simulation and analysis-based solutions to improve product response to mechanical (drop/shock) and thermal loads.
• Collaborate with designers, engineers, and other cross-functional partners to identify risks, strategically create simulations, plan and conduct validation testing, and deliver objective, data-driven engineering guidance and solutions.
• Contribute to the creation of product requirements and technical specifications.
• Provide data and technical guidance for product architecture development efforts.
• Organize and lead thermal design reviews, solution brainstorms, and implementation efforts.
• Drive root cause efforts and design of experiments to resolve problems.
• Present results in a form actionable by cross-functional team members and leadership.
• Advance team capabilities using new methods, materials, technologies, and software tools.

Essential Skills

• Master's degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Knowledge of engineering and physics-based principles related to shock, vibrations, strength of materials, heat transfer, and failure analysis.
• Knowledge of implicit and explicit structural and thermal finite element analysis.
• Experience using a data-driven approach to analyze problems and deliver robust, optimized solutions.
• Understanding of the mechanical and thermal properties for a broad spectrum of materials, such as glass, ceramic, polymers, and adhesives.
• 5 years of experience using commercial FEA simulation tools, preferably ANSYS and/or Abaqus.
• 3 years of experience using 3D CAD tools, preferably SolidWorks and/or NX.
• 3 years of experience architecting solutions mitigating drop/shock and thermal problems.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Experience delivering analysis and developing solutions for consumer products.
• Optics experience.
