equipment, and packaging, ensuring reliability, performance, and
manufacturability.

-Contributes to setting thermal cooling strategies
and designs mechanical architecture for server generations, from feasibility
studies to production.

-Utilizes advanced computer assisted design (CAD)
tools (e.g., ProE, SolidWorks) to develop 3D models and detailed mechanical
designs, collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine solutions.

-Contributes to the mechanical design of
electronics enclosures or embedded systems, ensuring alignment with hardware
systems and design requirements.

Structural and Reliability Analysis:

-Reviews the results of stress analysis, strain
analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate the mechanical strength
and reliability of materials and components, addressing challenges
independently.

-Identifies and addresses potential points of
failure, conducting root cause and corrective action analysis to refine designs
and improve reliability.

Manufacturing and Production Support:

-Ensures that designs are manufacturable within
cost and quality constraints, working closely with Operations and External
Manufacturers to support the transition from prototype to production.

-Guides the design development process, ensuring
alignment with project timelines and collaborating across teams to optimize
manufacturing processes.

Product Testing and Quality Assurance:

-Conducts reliability assessments of materials and
designs, ensuring products meet company standards.

-Oversees prototype build and testing processes,
ensuring designs meet functional and performance goals while identifying areas
for improvement.

-Analyzes test data to detect bugs, defects, and
failure trends.

Research and Innovation:

-Researches and implements next-generation
technologies to optimize data center and cloud application products.

-Evaluates and integrates new materials,
processes, and mechanical design techniques, contributing to continuous
innovation and product improvement.

Collaboration with Cross-functional Teams:

-Collaborates with electrical engineers, component
engineers, operations teams, and other internal stakeholders to contribute to
design optimizations that enhance product performance, reliability, and
manufacturability.

-Engages with suppliers to develop high-quality
components and assemblies, ensuring they meet performance and cost goals.

-Works with manufacturing to transition designs to
production.

Project Management:

-Manages the mechanical design aspects of
engineering projects in coordination with program schedule requirements.

-Begins to coordinate resources, timelines, and
design reviews for their portion of the project to ensure successful delivery.

-Maintains detailed documentation of design
processes and decisions, providing clear communication to stakeholders and
ensuring alignment with project objectives and schedule.
