Staff Mechanical Engineer (NPI)

RESPONSIBILITIES: Complete technical ownership (at system level) of a next generation product from design concept to manufacturing release, ensuring performance, reliability, cost, and schedule targets are met

Lead mechanical design, analysis and development of mechanical components around micro-electronics, and exact industrial design visions and specifications, product requirements, and manufacturing constraints

Create SolidWorks CAD models to bring up design concepts that enable simulation exercises, prototyping, and mass production qualification

Generate technical documentation such as 3D files, 2D drawings, bills of material (BOM's), and Engineering Change Orders (ECO's) following product development cycle timeline

Communicate and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams to align requirements, drive decisions, and resolve issues quickly

Drive organized, end-to-end DFM coordination across multiple vendors and manufacturing methods, aligning requirements, timelines, and technical decisions to deliver scalable, high-yield production

Partner with suppliers to explore and carry multiple material and design concepts in parallel

Communicate engineering changes to vendors and contract manufacturers as the product development cycle progresses

Design testing protocols and validation plans, managing testing processes

Perform thorough engineering root cause analyses to identify and resolve issues

Mentorship, engineering best practices

Willingness to travel internationally up to 20% of the time

QUALIFICATIONS: BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

10+ years of experience in the design, documentation and validation of complex mechanical parts for medium to high volume consumer electronics

5+ years SolidWorks CAD experience with best practices for part design/ feature architecture, advanced assemblies, complex configuration management and integrating DFx feedback efficiently

5+ years of experience implementing CAE tools in mechanical design process (Finite element analysis - Static and Dynamic and thermal simulation)

5+ years of working with Tier 1 and 2 contract manufacturers in Asia and North America

Extensive experience in mechanical design concepts and the manufacture of products utilizing high volume, automated manufacturing processes as well as manual assembly

Played a key role in the launch of 3+ products, thorough understanding of full product development process, experience guiding suppliers, product lifecycle management

Well-versed in design, prototyping, and evaluation of advanced injection molded plastic components, die castings, metal injection molding, ceramic injection molding, packaging, and material selection

Knowledge of Six Sigma statistical methods and how to apply them effectively to make design decisions. Ability to utilize statistical methods such as RSS tolerance stack up analysis and CPK process capability

Strong organizational skills and the ability to work well within teams in a fast-paced environment

Ability to effectively communicate technical concepts and proposals to leadership upwards (internally), and externally to suppliers and contact manufacturers

Familiarity with mechanical design concepts and the manufacture of products utilizing high volume, automated manufacturing processes as well as manual assembly. Experience with high volume injection molding is strongly preferred.

Highly organized and methodical; able to create structure, plans, and risk mitigation for open-ended problems and drive them to closure
