Description
HP's Specialty Printing and Technology Solutions business unit is chartered to leverage HP's printing technology assets to OEM's in a wide array of markets. The SPTS Engineering Organization is chartered to extend these assets with high-ROI solutions that fit the needs of these markets through specialty inks, printheads, enablers and full imaging solutions.
This position is for a Mechanical Engineering (ME) design engineer. You will be part of a core group of design engineers developing new, disruptive technology and products. The role spans product layout and component/subsystem design, early prototyping, assembly tools and methods, and scaling designs into production-ready solutions through established product development processes.
Responsibilities:
- Design components, subsystems, and portions of engineering solutions for mechanical, electrical, optical, and fluidic systems.
- Create designs using CAD; perform product layout and detailed part/assembly design.
- Develop specifications and manage technical interfaces/boundaries between systems and subsystems.
- Plan and execute test and validation methods, including form/fit/function, tolerances, shock and vibration, EMI, safety, reliability, thermal generation, and system power measurements.
- Own components and subsystems through early technology development: idea conception, prototyping, experimentation, and maturation into production-ready solutions.
- Support development of assembly tools, assembly methods, and process flows within internal labs and at outsourced/ODM integration partner manufacturing sites.
- Collaborate cross-functionally across teams, geographies, and external/ODM partners to integrate designs.
- Track and resolve technical issues; communicate status, risks, and mitigation plans with cross-functional partners.
Education & Experience:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field with a proven record demonstrating product design and analysis capabilities).
- Typically 4+ years of product development (or equivalent) experience.
Knowledge & Skills:
- Strong grasp of mechanical engineering principles; analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to exercise independent judgment.
- Experience designing electromechanical components, electronic enclosures, mechanical assemblies, structural elements, fluid systems, and/or optical components.
- Knowledge of manufacturing processes and joining technologies (e.g., injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, and related joining methods) and mechanical properties of materials.
- Mechanical and fluid systems analysis (e.g., tolerances, stress/strain, thermal calculations) using modeling tools.
- Proficiency with CAD; high proficiency with CoCreate/OneSpace Designer is a strong plus.
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and high-volume manufacturing methods; design for reliability.
Benefits:
- Health insurance
- Dental insurance
- Vision insurance
- Long term/short term disability insurance
- Employee assistance program
- Flexible spending account
- Life insurance
- Generous time off policies, including 4-12 weeks fully paid parental leave based on tenure, 11 paid holidays, and additional flexible paid vacation and sick leave.
