Mechanical Design Engineer - Sensing

Job Description

Job Responsibilities

• Work closely with sensing, interior, exterior teams to enable temperature, rain, cabin and tire pressure sensors 
• Optimize sensors in the vehicle while considering product variation, environmental factors, thermal, assembly and more
• Participate in prototype builds, component fabrication, testing and validation efforts 
• Own the design of all mechanical components including PCBA outline, heatsink design, shield-can design, connector selection, sensors selection, manufacturability at scale 
• Conduct mechanical design analysis including structural, tolerance, FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and design for assembly  
• Generate detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and documentation of mechanical designs using 3DX. Collaborate with other cross-functional teams to take designs from prototype through production and deployment  
• Support development of engineering and reliability test plans, test data analysis, and troubleshooting of design issues. Communicate with suppliers regarding DFM (Design for Manufacturing) feedback and support tooling and assembly bring up  

Job Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Minimum 2 years of experience in mechanical design  
• Experience in the development of sensing devices 
• Proficiency in CAD software (CATIA/3DX preferred) for 3D modeling and drafting  
• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools (ANSYS preferred)  
• Experience taking designs from initial concept through to mass production 
• Basic understanding of electrical and thermal design fundamentals. Familiarity with PCBAs, electronics packaging and sensor applications 
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to perform first principles analysis to ensure a successful design (physics, stress-strain, thermal, tolerance, cost and mass optimization, etc.)  
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
