Full Job Description
Job Purpose The Mechanical Design Engineer, as part of the larger product solutions development team, provides mechanical design support of product development, NPI, and manufacturing of a variety of different optical product families.
We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer, with a strong background in mechanical design, and a clear focus on the physical design, thermal management and packaging of high-speed optical modules, in small form factors such as QSFP, OSFP, to support product design and analysis within a worldwide end-to-end product development team developing advanced Opto/microelectronic components, modules and sub-systems.
Nature of Duties / Responsibilities
Physical design, thermal management and packaging of high-speed optical modules, in small form factors such as QSFP, OSFP. Experience with CPO design approaches and architectures an asset. Responsibilities include:
Mechanical housing subassembly design and module integration, PCB packaging and flex circuit integration, optical fiber routing and interconnects
Host system integration considerations of pluggables: insertion/extraction forces, mating cycles, air vs liquid cooling
Design for manufacturability, assembly and test to ensure high volume product viability and reliability
Design verification through prototyping and device test and characterization
Tooling and fixturing requirements definition and design to support prototyping and volume production
Supplier engagement to support prototyping and high volume production
Work within a multidisciplinary development team to provide a broad range of mechanical design solutions and analysis support to meet design specifications. Product types, include, but are not limited to:
