Job Title: Senior Mechanical Engineer - Low Voltage Electronics 

We are a dynamic team seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Mechanical Engineer with experience in Electronics Design. Join us to design, develop, and optimize mechanical systems that integrate with electronic components and assemblies. This role involves collaboration with electrical engineers, thermal engineers, and cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable products across various industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design and develop mechanical systems and components for electronic products, ensuring proper integration with electrical circuitry, PCBs, and other electronic parts. 

• Collaborate with electrical engineers to define mechanical requirements, such as thermal management, housing design, and component placement. 

• Perform 3D modeling, simulations, and analysis using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar tools). 

• Conduct mechanical testing, including stress, thermal, and vibration analysis, to validate designs. 

• Evaluate materials, manufacturing methods, and processes for cost-effective, high-quality production. 

• Support the prototyping, testing, and iteration of electronic products. 

• Design enclosures, brackets, and other mechanical parts for various electronic devices with a focus on durability and functionality. 

• Ensure that designs comply with industry standards and regulations (e.g., EMC, UL, FCC, IC, CE). 

• Work closely with the production team to ensure designs are manufacturable and assist with assembly processes. 

• Identify and resolve mechanical issues in existing products, proposing improvements for performance, manufacturability, and cost efficiency. 

• Provide support for documentation, including BOM (Bill of Materials), assembly drawings, and design specifications. 

• Participate in cross-functional meetings to share design updates, risks, and recommendations. 

Qualifications: 

• First principle thinking. 

• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering with at least 5 years of industry-relevant experience. 

• Proven experience in mechanical design, particularly in the development of electronic products or systems. 

• Strong proficiency with CATIA CAD Tool. 

• Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and prototyping techniques. 

• Solid understanding of material properties, including plastics, metals, and composites used in electronics packaging. 

• Knowledge of thermal management strategies and vibration isolation in electronic systems. 

• Familiarity with the electrical engineering design process, including component selection and integration with mechanical systems. 

• Experience working with EOL fixtures, SMT equipment, and other equipment for electro-mechanical components.
