Responsibilities
Drive development of advanced mechanical platforms for interconnect systems, including housings, latches, thermal solutions, and structural supports
Lead thermomechanical simulation (FEA/CFD) activities to optimize mechanical performance, thermal management, and structural integrity
Translate real-world mechanical challenges into FEA models, using both implicit and explicit analysis methods to evaluate component behavior under different physical conditions (e.g., structural, thermal, vibration, shock)
Utilize advanced simulation tools such as Ansys Workbench, LS-DYNA, HyperMesh, Simufact, and Digimat to perform both linear and non-linear analyses and evaluate material and structural responses under diverse loading scenarios
Conduct root cause analysis and develop mitigation plans for mechanical challenges related to warpage, fatigue, insertion force, material failures, etc
Champion material and process innovation by evaluating composites, thermal interface materials (TIMs), and micro-structured mechanical designs
Create standardized mechanical modules for reuse across product families, aligned with design-for-manufacture and platforming strategies
Partner with manufacturing and tooling teams to ensure early DFM/DFA integration and fast prototyping of mechanical solutions
Develop and validate test plans for thermal cycling, vibration, shock, and environmental reliability
Generate and maintain design standards, mechanical guidelines, and mechanical review frameworks across TE D&D
Mentor junior engineers and support global mechanical design communities through technical forums, training, and documentation
Collaborate with CTO, AMP, and BU engineering teams to align on mechanical technology roadmaps and influence long-term innovation direction
