  • Develop production-ready SolidWorks models, drawings, configurations, and bills of material.
  • Own thermal designs for power-dense electronics, including forced-air cooling, heatsinks, conduction paths, thermal interfaces, and liquid cooling.
  • Use ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Mechanical / Workbench to evaluate thermal, structural, vibration, shock, fatigue, and environmental performance.
  • Apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and tolerance analysis to critical mechanical interfaces.
  • Design for machining, sheet metal, welding, brazing, assembly, inspection, sealing, and corrosion protection.
  • Translate system requirements into traceable mechanical, thermal, structural, environmental, and verification requirements.
  • Develop and support environmental qualification and verification testing.
  • Lead or support root cause and corrective action, design failure mode and effects analysis, and multidisciplinary failure investigations.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams, manufacturing, suppliers, test laboratories, customers, and program stakeholders.
