Description
The mechanical & thermal team at Cisco is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to work on complex electro-mechanical designs. You will lead small-scale mechanical engineering projects, collaborate with stakeholders to support assembly, fabrication, and manufacturing of products, and perform stack-up tolerance analyses to ensure designs meet six sigma quality.
Responsibilities:
- Lead small-scale mechanical engineering projects with manageable risks and resource requirements
- Collaborate with multiple stakeholders to support assembly, fabrication, and manufacturing of products
- Perform stack-up tolerance analyses to ensure designs meet six sigma quality for high-volume mass production
- Assist senior engineers with test plans, mechanical design testing, failure analysis, reliability, environmental testing, and verification plans
- Verify the quality of the design, resolve issues, and advance as needed
- Perform moderately complex simulation with supervision from senior engineers
- Review and compile the BoM for large teams or across multiple products
- Contribute to design improvements and assembly cost savings and avoidance
- Monitor scope, schedule, and budgets for projects
- Collaborate with multiple stakeholders to conduct design feasibility testing and prototyping
- Ensure that feasibility and prototyping guidelines are met
- Perform simple mechanical simulations such as FEA analysis to support design features
- Optimize thermal solutions with thermal engineers prior to prototype
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's + 10-14 years of related experience, or Master's + 8-10 years of related experience, or PhD + 6-8 years of related experience
- Hands-on thermal design and validation experience in electro-mechanical equipment
- Expertise in concept/architecture, establishing thermal boundaries, and optimized cooling solutions
- Expertise in design and verification of latest heatsink technologies
- Strong validation background and ability to plan a comprehensive test plan
- Strong command on simulation tools and modeling of complex thermal environment
Preferred Qualifications:
- Good knowledge of Mechanical design and manufacturing processes
- Experience in product design validation, particularly in thermal and mechanical areas
- Good knowledge of Fan/TIM/Heatsink types of selection and verification
- Experience in generating automation tools, Python scripting for data management and smart design and review
- Hands-on Experience with Electronics cooling tools like Flotherm, Flotherm XT, Ansys Icepak, Ansys CFX
- Hands-on experience in Liquid cooling technology
- ASIC level knowledge on handling detailed thermal models
- Hands-on Experience in using AI tools in day-to-day work
