Lead build and integration for autonomous surface vessels, bridging design and production. Design and optimize vessel structures/systems, manage CAD models, coordinate ECOs, resolve non-conformances, support integration of autonomy, participate in design reviews, and support sea-trials and regulatory documentation.

Design and implement automation systems for semiconductor manufacturing, troubleshoot issues, collaborate on solutions, and ensure compliance with standards.

Collaborate on mechanical designs for data center systems, validating performance, overseeing construction, and ensuring designs meet quality benchmarks.

Design and develop automated assembly cells, custom tooling, and prototypes for high-volume electronics manufacturing. Create 3D CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and perform tolerance, structural, and cycle-time analyses. Support equipment integration, commissioning, validation, and production launch while collaborating with cross-functional teams and suppliers.

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer leads mechanical design for nuclear reactors. Responsibilities include design ownership, engineering analyses, mentoring, and ensuring safety standards.

Lead mechanical design and integration for complex hardware from concept to production. Own mechanical deliverables, drive root-cause investigations, ensure manufacturability, reliability, and cost targets, collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams, support packaging and thermal needs, mentor junior engineers, and communicate technical decisions to stakeholders.

Design and validate mechanical systems and components for server/storage/networking enclosures. Create and maintain 3D models and 2D drawings, perform tolerance and FEA studies, support fit/function verification, resolve defects, and collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams to ensure producibility, quality, and release readiness.

Lead mechanical engineering evaluations for data center opportunities, assessing HVAC, cooling, chiller, CRAH/CRAC, liquid cooling, and critical equipment systems. Conduct facility due diligence, validate capacity and design assumptions, evaluate vendors and deployment risks, and provide feasibility and Go/No-Go recommendations. Support mechanical design strategies, equipment selection, commissioning, and construction readiness while partnering with engineering teams, consultants, and vendors to establish scalable standards for hyperscale and AI infrastructure.

Design, validate, and implement tooling, jigs, and fixtures from prototype through production. Lead strain testing and material characterization, create and release detailed drawings, support manufacturing with tolerance analysis and design improvements, manage supplier sourcing and project activities for key accounts.

The role involves designing electromechanical solutions for telecom systems, focusing on mechanical designs, thermal management, and product development. Responsibilities include overseeing prototype builds, collaborating with teams, and applying best practices in engineering.
