About the role

This role involves contributing to the mechanical design, thermal validation, and verification of advanced AI hardware and data center systems.

What you'll do

• Create and update mechanical parts, assemblies, and drawings using Creo or comparable 3D CAD software.
• Take ownership of defined mechanical design tasks from requirements and concepts through detailed design, review, release, and verification.
• Apply mechanical design, materials, manufacturing, heat transfer, and thermodynamics principles to engineering decisions.
• Develop mechanical and thermal test plans and procedures for prototypes and development systems.
• Set up and operate laboratory equipment, collect accurate data, analyze results, and document conclusions.
• Evaluate prototypes and identify mechanical, thermal, assembly, or manufacturability issues.
• Support design verification, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and implementation of verified design improvements.
• Maintain accurate engineering documentation, including design notes, drawings, test procedures, results, and change records.

What you'll need

• A bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field, completed recently or expected before the role begins.
• A strong foundation in mechanical design, heat transfer, thermodynamics, materials, manufacturing, or related engineering principles.
• Experience using 3D CAD software to create parts, assemblies, or engineering drawings through coursework, research, internships, or projects.
• Ability to plan technical work, analyze test data, document results accurately, and draw evidence-based conclusions.
• A structured approach to problem-solving, troubleshooting, and engineering investigation.

Nice to have

• Experience with Creo or another professional 3D CAD package.
• Hands-on experience setting up laboratory equipment, conducting tests, recording observations, and reporting data.
• Experience evaluating prototypes, fabricating parts, or completing mechanical design and build projects.
• Exposure to thermal management, electronics cooling, servers, data center hardware, or advanced computing systems.
• Familiarity with mechanical design verification, tolerance analysis, engineering change processes, or configuration control.
• Experience presenting design work or test results in a technical review setting.
