Mechanical Engineer - Thermal Design

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
• Monitor scope, schedule, and budgets for projects
• Collaborate with multiple partners to conduct design feasibility testing and prototyping

Requirements:

• Bachelor's + 8-10 years of related experience, or Master's + 6-8 years of related experience, or PhD + 4-6 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
• Strong validation background and ability to plan a comprehensive test plan
• Strong command on simulation tools and modeling of complex thermal environments

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong communication skills with collaboration and problem-solving abilities
• Good knowledge of Mechanical design and manufacturing processes
• Experience in product design validation, particularly in thermal and mechanical areas
• Hands-on experience with Electronics cooling tools like Flotherm, Flotherm XT, Ansys Icepak, Ansys CFX
• 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
