About the role

  • Design and develop enclosures, brackets, and other mechanical components for ECUs, sensors, control modules, and power electronics, focusing on high-volume, cost-effective manufacturing.
  • Collaborate with electronics hardware teams to assess and improve the mechanical robustness of designs during early development phases.
  • Use GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to create detailed manufacturing drawings.
  • Work with suppliers to ensure components and assemblies meet automotive quality standards.
  • Conduct DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) analyses to optimize designs for production.
  • Support the execution of mechanical reliability tests (e.g., vibration, thermal cycling, environmental stress) on ECU enclosures.
  • Analyze field performance data and warranty returns to identify mechanical design issues and drive corrective actions.
  • Conduct Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify and mitigate potential mechanical failures.
  • Act as a subject matter expert for mechanical design best practices within the organization.
  • Generate technical documentation, including mechanical test plans, reports, and qualification summaries.
