Mechanical Product Engineer (Project 9/IB4)
Location: Houston
Job SummaryThe Mechanical Product Engineer is responsible for the design, development, validation, and sustaining of mechanical aspects of high-technology electronic products from concept through mass production. This role works cross-functionally with electrical, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure products meet performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability requirements in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities
Product Design & Development
- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for electronic products (enclosures, chassis, thermal solutions, brackets, connectors, etc.).
- Create 3D models, detailed drawings, and specifications using CAD tools.
- Perform tolerance analysis, material selection, and mechanical simulations (thermal, structural, vibration).
- Support NPI (New Product Introduction) from prototype through ramp to mass production.
- Collaborate with manufacturing engineering to ensure DFM, DFA, and DFx compliance.
- Support tooling design (injection molds, die casting, sheet metal, CNC) and review supplier tooling proposals.
- Resolve manufacturing issues, yield losses, and mechanical defects during pilot and production runs.
- Define and execute mechanical validation plans (shock, vibration, thermal cycling, reliability).
- Analyze test results and implement corrective actions.
- Support compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
- Work with global suppliers and contract manufacturers to develop and qualify mechanical parts.
- Lead technical discussions with vendors on materials, processes, and cost optimization.
- Interface with electrical, thermal, quality, supply chain, and program management teams.
- Drive cost reduction, quality improvement, and product lifecycle support activities.
- Manage ECOs (Engineering Change Orders) and documentation updates.
- Support field issues and root cause analysis (8D, FMEA).
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical product engineering within electronics manufacturing (experience level can be adjusted).
- Strong experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar).
- Knowledge of manufacturing processes: injection molding, sheet metal, die casting, machining.
- Experience supporting products in mass production environments.
- Understanding of DFM/DFA principles.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional and global teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in high-tech electronics, networking equipment, servers, IoT, or consumer electronics.
- Knowledge of thermal management for electronic systems.
- Experience working with contract manufacturers (EMS/ODM).
- Familiarity with reliability testing standards (IEC, JEDEC, etc.).
- Hands-on experience with prototype builds and factory support.
- Experience with PLM systems.
Key Competencies
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
- Attention to detail and documentation discipline
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Clear communication and technical leadership
- Results-oriented mindset with focus on quality and cost
