Job Title: Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Description

The Mechanical Design Engineer will be an integral part of the product solutions development team, providing mechanical design support for product development, new product introduction (NPI), and manufacturing across various optical product families.

Responsibilities

Design and manage the physical, thermal, and packaging elements of high-speed optical modules in compact form factors such as QSFP and OSFP. Experience with co-packaged optics (CPO) design approaches and architectures is advantageous.
Develop mechanical housing subassembly designs and module integration, including PCB packaging, flex circuit integration, and optical fiber routing and interconnects.
Consider host system integration aspects of pluggables, such as insertion/extraction forces, mating cycles, and cooling methods (air vs liquid).
Ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and testing to support high-volume product viability and reliability.
Verify designs through prototyping, device testing, and characterization.
Define and design tooling and fixturing requirements to support prototyping and volume production.
Engage with suppliers to support prototyping and high-volume production.
Collaborate within a multidisciplinary development team to provide comprehensive mechanical design solutions and analysis to meet design specifications.
Coordinate activities within the multidisciplinary development team and work closely with process and test engineering teams to align designs with process and test capabilities.
Support new business development by interfacing with customers to understand their requirements and provide proposals and quotations.
Contribute to new technology research and development as part of the technology roadmap.
Manage key technical elements of projects and associated timelines to meet milestones on various customer projects.

Essential Skills

Proven experience in mechanical design engineering, specifically in optical transceiver design.
Ownership of mechanical transceiver design with at least one transceiver delivered to market.
Expertise in optical transceivers such as QSFP/OSFP with knowledge of multi-source agreements (MSA).
Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA), tolerance analysis, and heat transfer.
