-Engages with suppliers to develop high-quality
components and assemblies, ensuring they meet performance and cost goals.
-Works with manufacturing to transition designs to
production.
Project Management:
-Manages the mechanical design aspects of
engineering projects in coordination with program schedule requirements.
-Begins to coordinate resources, timelines, and
design reviews for their portion of the project to ensure successful delivery.
-Maintains detailed documentation of design
processes and decisions, providing clear communication to stakeholders and
ensuring alignment with project objectives and schedule.
Additional Responsibilities (as needed)
Thermal Management:
-Conducts detailed thermal analysis and design
using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools like FloTHERM or Icepak,
ensuring optimal thermal management for electronic devices.
-Develops and executes airflow measurements,
environmental testing, and thermal validation tests for products, ensuring
compliance with internal and external standards (e.g., ASHRAE Data Center
Standards) and correlation with simulation results.
Environmental Test Engineering:
-Leads efforts to ensure mechanical product
designs meet global regulatory and industry standards by independently managing
standards activities throughout the development lifecycle.
-Oversees environmental testing, collaborating
with internal teams or third-party labs to ensure designs fully comply with
required standards.
-Leads communication with design engineers and
program managers to align test results and issues, providing guidance on how to
address constraints in product development.
Core Responsibilities
Planning & Execution:
-Manages and coordinates moderately complex tasks,
monitoring timelines and deliverables to ensure timely completion and adherence
to requirements for a moderately-sized project or initiative. Efficiently
delegates, monitors, and prioritizes work across multiple projects, providing
technical oversight and adjusting plans to address shifts in resources or
timelines.
Collaboration & Partnership:
-Collaborates across the organization to align on
expectations and achieve shared objectives. Leverages understanding of business
leaders, stakeholders, and/or customers to ensure proposed solutions meet their
needs. Supports inclusivity by actively seeking and listening to diverse
perspectives, ensuring others feel heard and respected.
Problem Solving:
-Identifies and addresses moderately complex issues
by analyzing a wide range of data and/or information to identify solutions in
accordance with standard practices. Proactively escalates unresolved or
critical issues with a thorough assessment and suggests potential solutions.
Reviews, contributes to, and documents problem solving strategies.
Continuous Learning:
-Pursues learning opportunities to expand
knowledge and skills and/or tools in new areas and stays abreast of the latest
industry trends and best practices. Proactively seeks and leverages ongoing
feedback and training to improve skills. Coaches and mentors junior team
members, fostering continuous learning and knowledge sharing within and across
teams.
Continuous Improvement:
-Develops ideas, recommends updates, and/or
collaborates on the implementation of process improvements to increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of processes, protocols, and workflows across
teams, and evaluates the impact on key stakeholders. Solicits feedback from
others on ideas for alternative approaches and methods for continued
improvement.
Performance and Development:
-Contributes to the talent development pipeline by
participating in candidate interviews, assessing candidates, and providing
hiring recommendations.
