Mechanical Engineer, ECU Enclosure Design & Manufacturing

Glydways is reimagining public transit to connect people with opportunities through sustainable mobility solutions. They are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and support the manufacturing of enclosures for Electronic Control Units (ECUs), focusing on ensuring the physical design, durability, and manufacturability for high-volume production.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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)
• Experience with CAE/FEA (Computer-Aided Engineering/Finite Element Analysis)
• Knowledge of materials science and their application in electronic enclosures
