Long Term Job Summary We are seeking a highly experienced Mechanical Engineer with strong technical depth in electromechanical product development, EMI/EMC, thermal engineering, and New Product Development (NPD). The ideal candidate will have 12+ years of experience preferred, with 10+ years as the minimum, and proven hands-on experience taking complex electromechanical products from concept through prototype, verification/validation, and production release. The candidate must have substantive EMI/EMC design, testing, troubleshooting, compliance, failure analysis, or corrective-action experience. EMI/EMC exposure limited to resume keywords is not sufficient. Experience with IEC standards, thermal management, mechanical architecture, electromechanical integration, and full product lifecycle development is required. Medical-device experience is preferred but not mandatory. Candidates from scientific instruments, semiconductor equipment, aerospace/defense, robotics, automotive electronics, imaging/optical equipment, power electronics, and other complex or regulated product-development environments are encouraged to apply. Key Responsibilities Act as Technical Lead for Mechanical Design within complex electromechanical product-development programs. Own mechanical architecture and interfaces for enclosures, mechanisms, mounts, thermal paths, cable routing, and EMI/EMC considerations. Lead end-to-end mechanical design from concept, feasibility, and prototyping through design freeze and production release. Translate system, electrical, software, and product requirements into robust mechanical designs. Develop and review 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, GD&T, and BOMs. Integrate motors, sensors, PCBs, batteries, power supplies, connectors, and cabling within mechanical assemblies. Apply EMI/EMC design principles to electromechanical products. Support EMI/EMC testing, troubleshooting, failure analysis, and corrective design actions. Work with applicable IEC standards. Own and support thermal architecture, thermal management, heat dissipation, and thermal analysis/testing. Lead and participate in FMEA, risk analysis, design reviews, and technical investigations. Support design changes through ECO/ECN processes. Define verification strategies and support EVT, DVT, V&V, and product qualification/testing. Investigate and resolve failures during testing, manufacturing, and field use. Lead DFM/DFA implementation. Work with suppliers and manufacturing teams on tooling, materials, processes, and yield improvement. Support FAI, PPAP, pilot builds, and design transfer to manufacturing. Perform tolerance stack-ups, engineering calculations, thermal analysis, and FEA. Collaborate with Electrical/Electronics, Software, Systems, Quality, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain teams. Lead technical/design reviews and mentor junior and mid-level engineers. Skills Required 10+ years of experience minimum; 12+ years preferred in Mechanical/Electromechanical Product Design and Development. Hands-on EMI/EMC experience - mandatory , including design, testing, troubleshooting, compliance, failure analysis, or corrective actions. Thermal Engineering / Thermal Management - mandatory.
