Position Description

Position Summary:

Performs a wide range of complex non-routine technical mechanical design tasks and mechanical modeling using advanced CAD software.  Emphasis on mechanical design of power equipment PCA packaging, rack mounted electronics and enclosures. This involves the use of initiative and judgment.

Essential Functions/Responsibilities:

•Proficiency in 3D CAD design using Solidworks, with working knowledge of 2D design using AutoCAD, and knowledgeable of design tolerance analysis and mechanical packaging of electronic equipment, sheet metal design, and drawing and documentation background.
•Responsible for electro-mechanical design, from concept through production release, of power electronics  equipment comprised of complex  assemblies  of circuit board assemblies, magnetics, heat sinks, power semiconductors, electrical interconnects, and associated enclosures.
•Competent in thermal design of cooling systems comprised of power devices and magnetics, heat sinks, and airflow using fans. Competency in liquid cooling is desirable.
•3-5 years experience with electro-mechanical packaging design for electronic assemblies, preferably power supplies, sheet-metal design, generating drawings bills of material and manufacturing documentation
•Proficiency in fabrication processes used in producing sheet metal chassis and structural parts, injection molding of plastics, and machining.
•Creative thinker capable of designing mechanical packaging and layout of electronic assemblies considering equipment cooling and airflow requirements
•Capable of designing product packaging with consideration for low manufacturing cost, low material costs, serviceability and reliability
•Makes engineering computations, writes specifications and makes adjustments in drawings of specifications.
•Verifies and checks completed work, checking dimensions, materials to be used and quantities.
•Experienced with (FEM) Finite Element Modeling (FEA) mechanical stress modeling and thermal analysis/modeling tools
•Proficiency in fabrication processes used in producing sheet metal chassis and structural parts, injection molding of plastics, and machining.

Position Requirements
