Description: The Senior Electro-Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the design and development of mechanical parts for new electronic products and systems. This includes the design of injection molded plastic parts, stamped metal parts, cast metal parts, and rubber parts. It also includes understanding electronics manufacturing processes to determine the best mechanical design of the printed circuit boards. Product design may include mechanical simulation / analysis and mechanical testing. The electro-mechanical engineer will work with other members of the product development team and with Indesign’s clients for new product introduction into manufacturing.

Responsibilities include:

• Estimate electro-mechanical development costs for new projects
• Develop mechanical requirements for products / systems
• Create mechanical product / system architectures
• Select electro-mechanical parts (connectors, cables, potentiometers, encoders, etc.) with input from electrical engineers
• Create detailed designs of mechanical parts
• Perform mechanical stress analysis and thermal simulations
• Conduct mechanical design reviews
• Procure and evaluate prototype mechanical parts
• Assemble mechanical parts for prototype models
• Test mechanical parts and product prototypes
• Work with the factory to incorporate DFM requirements into the mechanical design
• Create mechanical design release packages for factory production
• Evaluate production tooled parts
• Support the factory for pilot product introductions
• Provide mechanical sustaining engineering
• Provide support to create project proposals / statements of work
• Work with the project team and project manager to create project plans
• Work with electrical engineers and PCB designers to accommodate electronics into design
• Interface with clients to communicate electro-mechanical design progress and seek client inputs
• Oversee mechanical design processes

MUST be able to meet the following requirements:

• Possess a BS in Mechanical Engineering and 7+ years of experience in electro-mechanical design
• Have a wide breadth of experience in mechanical design for the electronics field
• Able to consult with other engineers while representing mechanical engineering for Indesign
• Able to estimate project hours and direct costs for new projects
• Able to estimate part costs for establishing mechanical Bill-of-Material costs
• Have hands-on experience in working with electro-mechanical parts, mechanisms, and electro-mechanical systems
• Have experience in designing mechanical parts
• Have experience working end-to-end from product concept through manufacturing support
• Have experience designing mechanical products for manufacturing
• Have knowledge of plastic injection mold tooling and other factory processes
• Able to identify possible solutions to technical problems
• Able to use MCAD tools and systems
• Able to use analytical / simulation tools
• Possess good oral and written communication skills
• Possess excellent organizational skills
• Able to coordinate work with others and work well as part of a project team
• Able to work independently on multiple projects in new areas
