About the role

About

In this role as a Staff Mechanical Engineer - Technical Lead, you'll be at the forefront of designing next‑generation optical pluggable modules. You'll collaborate within a dynamic team of skilled engineers, fostering an innovative environment where your expertise shapes breakthrough solutions. Your work will involve hands‑on engineering, from simulations to prototyping, ensuring products meet industry standards. You'll enjoy a supportive culture that emphasizes professional growth and knowledge sharing.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop mechanical components for optical pluggable modules, focusing on thermal, structural, and manufacturability aspects.
  • Perform and supervise thermal simulations and finite element analysis (FEA) to optimize designs.
  • Collaborate with system integration teams to create innovative die interconnect solutions exceeding 140 GHz bandwidth.
  • Create and review CAD models and detailed engineering drawings for precision manufacturing.
  • Conduct tolerance and stress analyses, along with thermal design validation testing (DVT).
  • Develop prototypes and facilitate the transition from design to production, minimizing redesign efforts.
  • Engage with suppliers and contract manufacturers to troubleshoot mechanical and integration challenges.
  • Author and review engineering change orders (ECOs), bill of materials (BOMs), and technical documentation.

Key Skills And Experience

Must‑Have

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • 10+ years of experience in mechanical design, particularly with optical or telecom hardware.
  • Strong expertise in thermal design, FEA, and CAD modeling (Creo preferred).
  • Proficiency in conducting die stress/strain simulations.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills.

Nice‑to‑Have

  • Experience with optical transceiver packaging (e.g., QSFP, OSFP).
  • Knowledge of compliance and shock/vibration testing for telecom applications.
  • Familiarity with advanced substrate technologies like LTCC and HTCC.
  • Experience in new product introduction (NPI) processes.
  • Understanding of electrical and thermal regulatory compliance requirements.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Health and wellness programs
  • Opportunities for continuous learning

Join us to make a meaningful impact on global connectivity while being supported by a collaborative and forward‑thinking team.
