TL;DR · Sensing Product Design Architecture Engineer

As a senior member of the Sensing Product Design Architecture team, the Sensing Product Design Architecture Engineer leads the architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced sensing modules. The role involves identifying and mitigating complex mechanical risks through rigorous analytical modeling and simulation to ensure robustness across diverse operating conditions and manufacturing variations. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop design concepts and communicate technical findings to leadership. Key responsibilities include performing finite element analysis, closed-form analytical solutions, and tolerance analysis. Required skills include proficiency in 3D CAD software like Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or Creo, along with programming in Python or Matlab for data analysis and automation. The role focuses on the mechanical design and performance of sensing technologies within a consumer electronics product portfolio to ensure reliability and high-volume production viability.

What you'll do

  • Lead the architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced sensing modules.
  • Identify, quantify, and mitigate complex mechanical risks and design trade-offs early in the product lifecycle.
  • Develop robust, data-driven design solutions using finite element analysis (FEA) and closed-form analytical solutions.
  • Perform comprehensive tolerance analysis to ensure performance across manufacturing variations and operating conditions.
  • Create 3D CAD models specifically for advanced analytical modeling and simulation workflows.
  • Use Python or Matlab to perform scientific computing, numerical simulations, and automate engineering workflows.
  • Communicate complex technical findings and design recommendations clearly to cross-functional teams and leadership.
  • Drive consensus on optimal architectural solutions through collaborative decision-making.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Deep understanding of advanced mechanical engineering principles including solid mechanics, materials science, and heat transfer.
  • Proven experience with data-driven design using statistical analysis and tolerance analysis.
  • Experience designing for high-volume production environments (consumer electronics or sensing is a plus).
  • Expert proficiency in 3D CAD software such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or Creo (preferred).
  • Mastery in advanced computational mechanics and Finite Element Analysis to model multi-physics behaviors (preferred).
  • Expertise in analytical programming languages like Python or Matlab for data analysis and automation (preferred).
