About the job
As a member of a fast-paced multi-disciplinary team, you use your creativity and range of engineering experience to explore solutions to a variety of engineering problems. As a mechanical engineer, you participate in the design, analysis, and prototyping of new concepts. You work in a manufacturing and product oriented development environment and collaborate with vendors and outside sources in order to see parts through to manufacture.
As a Product Design Engineer, you will be heavily involved in the design of the next generation of Pixel consumer products. You will drive the structural design, material characterization, and structural analysis, and prototyping of new mechanical concepts while working in a manufacturing and product-oriented development environment. You will demonstrate creative problem solving and analysis skills, clear communication, and a solid base of engineering fundamentals. Your strong organizational skills help you manage your varied responsibilities across the product.
Responsibilities
- Own and drive analysis of designs, enabling early optimization prior to prototyping as well as root cause and failure analysis of difficult mechanical problems.
- Generate Finite Element Analysis (FEM)/Investigative models of mechanical parts, modules, and assemblies. Use Static, dynamic, structural and thermal-mechanical analysis and create and develop statistical based methods to predict field failure models.
- Own and drive material characterization and testing to support modeling efforts.
- Propose solutions to problems based on analysis data.
- Generate applicable engineering specifications and create applicable processes to assure consistent early analysis and design validation of critical issues.
