Lead mechanical design activities for datacenter transceivers. Responsible for ensuring technical milestones are achieved. Responsible for guiding other team members' designs and leads technical design reviews. Ensures specification requirements input and design outputs align. This engineer will have demonstrated experience at releasing products into a production setting.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Leader in developing and validating datacenter transceivers.

Lead chassis and PCB mechanical layouts utilizing standard tools

Directs all aspects of mechanical design with minimal supervision

Mentors/coaches/trains engineers with less experience

Partners with system architects to review and clarify design requirements and define the appropriate mechanical/thermal architecture.

Expertly assemble prototypes, and verifies form/fit/function.

Work with and manage external component suppliers/manufacturers and provide input to their product roadmaps

Communicates technical aspects of a project effectively to internal and external suppliers.

Define design innovations and potential patentable solutions

Leads resolution of complex design issues and manages design trade-offs KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS

TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS
