Garda Evaluation Board Development
Support the mechanical development of the Garda Evaluation Board, including but not limited to:
- Review PCB assembly (PCBA) layouts to identify and resolve mechanical interferences.
- Perform airflow and thermal simulations to optimize cooling and temperature management of optical modules.
- Develop fabrication drawings and manufacturing files for sheet metal enclosures.
- Generate PCB mechanical exchange files (EMN/EMP) for the ECAD team, including component keep-out zones, height restrictions, and mechanical constraints.
- Collaborate with manufacturing partners and suppliers to support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
- Support prototype builds, assembly activities, and engineering validation.
Provide mechanical engineering support for the development of the Garda Optical Plug, including:
- Assist with the design and development of the OSFP mechanical assembly concept.
- Generate PCB mechanical interface files (EMN/EMP) with component keep-out regions and mechanical constraints.
- Review PCB component placement to identify mechanical interference risks.
- Work closely with suppliers to improve manufacturability and assembly processes through DFM/DFA reviews.
- Perform detailed tolerance stack-up analysis using Monte Carlo simulation techniques to validate design robustness and manufacturing tolerances.
Support the mechanical design and enhancement of the Nirvana Test Board by:
- Modifying the existing enclosure and housing to accommodate updated DSP component height requirements.
- Performing tolerance stack-up analysis using Monte Carlo methodologies.
- Reviewing PCB layouts for mechanical interference and recommending design improvements.
The Consultant Will Also

- Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, Optical, Manufacturing, and PCB Design teams.
- Support prototype development, engineering builds, and design verification activities.
- Prepare technical documentation, engineering reports, and design recommendations as required.
- Provide regular project status updates and identify technical risks with proposed mitigation plans.
- Ensure all engineering work complies with applicable quality, manufacturing, and engineering standards.
The Consultant Will Deliver, As Applicable
- Mechanical design recommendations.
- Thermal and airflow simulation results.
- Sheet metal fabrication drawings and manufacturing files.
- PCB mechanical exchange files (EMN/EMP).
- Tolerance analysis reports.
- DFM/DFA review findings.
- Engineering documentation supporting prototype builds and product development.
