Role OverviewThe Mechanical Design & Analysis Engineer is responsible for, but not limited to, design and manufacturing-related functions required by key strategic business unit account customers. This individual will work synergistically with Qnity's sales and manufacturing to achieve all customer design targets and goals.
This is a hybrid position requiring the selected candidate to work on-site three days per week.
Responsibilities:
Work with internal and external engineers and/or customer service to develop customer-specific designs that are both the best technical solution and optimized for manufacturability
Analyze designs utilizing Abaqus CAE finite element analysis (FEA) or Ansys Forming, and internally developed tools, to provide analysis packages containing key data points needed to evaluate the effectiveness in the customer application
Create 3D models and 2D drawings of Laird products using SolidWorks or CREO 3D CAD
Create and control item data in the Aras database
Lead new item release activities, ensuring item design requirements meet manufacturing capabilities to fit customer-specific performance needs, board layout, and components
Act as subject matter expert for metals designs and manufacturability, supporting customer design for manufacturability (DFM) assessments and operations design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA)
Report production release (NIP) and design metrics
Support production in troubleshooting manufacturing challenges or issues
Proficient at learning new systems and sharing knowledge to ensure best practices and efficiencies
Requirements:
Excellent time management skills and attention to detail
Proficient with solid-modeling software, preferable CREO or Solidworks, and/or mechanical/electrical or multiphysics software such as Abaqus, HFSS, or COMSOL
Understanding of Finite Element Analysis or Finite Difference numerical modeling techniques, preferably with a history of analyzing boundary value problems and results
Understanding of the cross-functional relationships between intercompany groups and the various expertises required to take a product through development to production
Good communication skills, both oral and written
Ability/experience being an extension of OEM design teams from the system to component level
Extensive mechanical design experience
Ability/experience understanding electronic system architecture at least at the block diagram level
Experience proactively engaging customers, organizing intercompany meetings, and maintaining business relationships across commercial and technical functions.
Qualifications
Education/Experience:
Bachelor’s Degree in engineering or technical field.
Experience/knowledge in manufacturing processes preferred.
5+ years of experience around precision metals, board-level shields, and EMI solutions
8+ years of design experience.
Design from concept to reality – Partner with Field Application Engineers and customers to develop custom metal components and innovative solutions, often starting with limited requirements or initial design inputs.
Solve complex engineering challenges – Apply your expertise in sheet metal design, 3D modeling, and CAD tools such as SolidWorks or Creo to create products that meet customer performance and manufacturing requirements.
Expand your technical capabilities – Gain hands-on experience with engineering analysis, simulation, and finite element analysis (FEA) tools used to evaluate product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Make a direct customer impact – Work on custom development projects that help customers solve real-world challenges, collaborating closely with engineering, manufacturing, and commercial teams from concept through production.
