• You will also have the opportunity to contribute to publications, white papers, and patents in the field.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

• M.Sc. (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, with a focus on Structural Mechanics and simulation/calculations.
• Documented experience in mechanical development for electronics.
• In-depth knowledge of material theory.
• In-depth knowledge of mechanical or thermal calculations and/or simulations.
• In-depth knowledge of CTE and Young’s Modulus.
• Good CAD skills.
