Mechanical Design Engineer, Thermal, Essex
Our client is expanding and so we are searching for a Mechanical Design Engineer, Thermal to work with the electronics and board layout engineers at all the different stages of board development, for both rugged and more benign environments. The design team operates in a small company environment which means that most designs are completed by an individual engineer. As a result, each engineer rapidly becomes involved with all aspects of the product design and development. Short design timescales are an important part of the development strategy, which also result in our engineers being involved in many different product designs quite quickly.
The ideal candidate for the role of Mechanical Design Engineer, Thermal will have the following profile:
Established Mechanical Design Engineer
Educated to graduate level and with experience of designing thermal and mechanical solutions for electronic products in harsh environments
Able to demonstrate an ability to design cost-effective and compact solutions which have excellent thermal transfer characteristics
Worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer, Thermal or in a similar role
Independent and a self-starter, able to plan and carry out your work with little supervision and with the ability to deliver effective results in short timescales
Any or all of the following will be pluses:
Experience with bus-based modular boards, products dissipating 60W or more, and BGA packaged electronic components.
Familiarity with VPX, VME or CompactPCI bus systems would be beneficial.
Practical experience of the thermal and mechanical issues involved in designing for rugged environments such as airborne or ground vehicle mounted equipment would be a significant advantage
Familiarity with SolidWorks for mechanical design, and CF Design for thermal analysis.
