Design and develop enclosures, brackets, and other mechanical components for ECUs, sensors, control modules, and power electronics, focusing on high-volume, cost-effective manufacturing.
Collaborate with electronics hardware teams to assess and improve the mechanical robustness of designs during early development phases.
Use GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to create detailed manufacturing drawings.
Work with suppliers to ensure components and assemblies meet automotive quality standards.
Conduct DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) analyses to optimize designs for production.
Support the execution of mechanical reliability tests (e.g., vibration, thermal cycling, environmental stress) on ECU enclosures.
Analyze field performance data and warranty returns to identify mechanical design issues and drive corrective actions.
Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify and mitigate potential mechanical failures.
Act as a subject matter expert for mechanical design best practices within the organization.
Generate technical documentation, including mechanical test plans, reports, and qualification summaries.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
5-10 years of experience in product development, with a focus on mechanical design for electronics, preferably in the automotive or related industries.
Proven experience designing, validating and manufacturing mechanical enclosures for electronics.
Experience with various manufacturing processes
extensive die cast experience highly preferred.
Expertise in CAD software, with CATIA preferred.
Strong understanding of GD&T
both interpretation and application.
Hands-on experience with mechanical stress and life testing.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Experience working with global suppliers and contract manufacturers.
Familiarity with automotive quality standards (e.g., IATF 16949, ISO 26262).
