Senior Mechanical Designer

Location: Ottawa, ON (Hybrid/On-site)

About this opportunity

As a member of a dynamic development team, the Senior Mechanical Designer will be responsible for design, testing and delivery to manufacturing of carrier-grade mechanical hardware designs used for optical line systems capable of 400Gbps and beyond. 

What You'll Do

• Research and evaluate new technologies, tools, and methodologies.
• Strive for continuous improvement in our processes and innovation in the designs while always looking to minimize cost.
• Work closely with hardware designers, product line managers, and system architects to deliver high-quality designs using thermal simulation to reduce risk where applicable.
• Own all aspects of mechanical design, including three-dimensional physical design, modeling, specification, verification, and implementation.
• Create part and product 3D models (Solidworks).
• Work with both internal and external design teams and partners.
• Interface with metal fabrication and machining suppliers.
• Develop and maintain part standards in terms of tolerances, finish, and materials.
• Support layout designers with common feature drawings and review for interference within the mechanical envelope defined for each product.
• Produce assembly drawings showing the assembly of products and circuit cards.
• Conduct first article inspections on your design builds and help assemble prototypes.
• Support the transfer to manufacturing/production and seek improvements in design that lead to higher first pass yields and lower field returns.

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent coupled with 7+ years of experience in product mechanical design.
• Experience with CAD design tools (Solidworks preferred).
• Experience developing Assembly Drawings for high volume manufacturing.

Assets You May Possess

• Experience with 1RU – 7RU carrier-grade system requirements and high-speed access and optical transmission systems.
