Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Purpose The Mechanical Design Engineer is part of the larger product solutions development team, providing mechanical design support for product development, NPI, and manufacturing of various optical product families. We seek an experienced Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in mechanical design, focusing on physical design, thermal management, and packaging of high‑speed optical modules in small form factors such as QSFP and OSFP to support product design and analysis within a worldwide end‑to‑end product development team developing advanced opto/microelectronic components, modules, and sub‑systems. Nature Of Duties / Responsibilities Physical design, thermal management and packaging of high‑speed optical modules in small form factors such as QSFP, OSFP. Experience with CPO design approaches and architectures is an asset. Responsibilities include: Mechanical housing subassembly design and module integration, PCB packaging and flex circuit integration, optical fiber routing and interconnects Host system integration considerations of pluggables: insertion/extraction forces, mating cycles, air vs liquid cooling Design for manufacturability, assembly, and test to ensure high‑volume product viability and reliability Design verification through prototyping and device test and characterization Tooling and fixturing requirements definition and design to support prototyping and volume production Supplier engagement to support prototyping and high‑volume production Work within a multidisciplinary development team to provide a broad range of mechanical design solutions and analysis support to meet design specifications. Product types include, but are not limited to: Telecommunications and datacom components/modules/subsystems (transceivers, lasers, detectors, modulators, optical receivers, amplifiers, flip‑chip BGA modules, etc.) Sensing / lidar optical components/systems Medical, biomedical, military, etc. components Coordinate activities within the multidisciplinary development team Work with process and test engineering teams to ensure alignment of designs with process and test capabilities Support new business development by interfacing with new customers to understand their requirements and defining proposals and quotations Support new technology research and development as part of AMT’s Technology Roadmap Manage key technical elements of projects and their associated timelines to meet milestones on various customer projects. Education & Experience Minimum bachelor’s degree in Engineering 5+ years’ experience in a product development role with a focus on transceiver design AutoCAD/SolidWorks design experience with an understanding of FEA using SolidWorks / Ansys or similar software tools Experience in the design of RF/Microwave/Optical packages and multi‑chip modules Experience in optical and microelectronic technologies, materials, components, assembly and test processes Experience in end‑to‑end product development; product manufacturing implementation considered an asset Experience with DFM and FMEA would be an asset Ability to work well within a multidisciplinary development team in a fast‑paced environment Strong written and verbal communication skills are required Sanmina is an Equal Opportunity Employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr
