Job Duties and Responsibilities

ADI’s Aerospace and Defense Module Product Line has an open position for a Mechanical Design Engineer. Working on new technology development, you will design cutting-edge integrated modules and subsystems for phased array radar systems.

In this position, you will work in a collaborative team environment and interface with electrical designers, process engineers, program managers, and production assembly through all program phases from research through design and production.

Job responsibilities include:

• Lead mechanical design of electronic hardware which incorporates RF modules, control electronics, power systems, cabling, and cooling. Hands-on use of 3D CAD system for rapid development.
• Apply Systems Engineering principles, performing requirements analysis and trade-study on ADI platform designs for industrial markets.
• Development and integration of cooling solutions, including analysis of liquid cooling through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with Ansys Fluent. Steady-state and transient thermal analysis from the IC gate level to rack-sized systems.
• Collaborate with engineers, and other employee disciplines across multiple ADI design center locations.
• Prepare design review documentation packages for presentation at customer design review meetings. Lead mechanical design review content and support internal and external design reviews.
• Design of innovative mechanical packaging solutions for surface mount technology (SMT) and complex multi-chip-module (MCM) assemblies, working in close collaboration with manufacturing, RF, and digital engineers.
• Perform system level structural analysis to ensure reliable operation over wide ranges of environmental conditions.
• Prepare and collaborate on design and fabrication documentation for SMT, printed wiring assemblies (PWAs) and mechanical assemblies. Work with suppliers and our factory on product build and test. Support outsourced SMT manufacturing processes.
• Proposal research and preparation including cost and schedule estimates.
• Envision and develop innovative new materials, components, and processes to advance design capabilities in new markets.
