Mechanical Hardware Design Engineer, IC Product
NVIDIAJob Title
Mechanical Hardware Design Engineer, IC Product
Role Summary
Lead mechanical design and execution for IC product test platforms and CPO optical products within the Networking division. Deliver mechanical/electrical specifications, board-level thermal and socket solutions, and system-level test interfaces used in production and reliability testing.
Experience Level
Entry-level — role expects approximately 2+ years of relevant mechanical design experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include design, integration, and validation of mechanical solutions for test and production environments.
- Define mechanical and electrical specifications; perform schematic support and component selection for test boards.
- Design sockets and thermal solutions for high-power, high-speed devices; apply layout considerations for board integration.
- Lead lab bring-up, debugging, and implementation of thermal/mechanical constraints on production test platforms.
- Collaborate with board design, signal integrity, layout, firmware, system-level testing, and production teams.
- Develop and execute HTOL/reliability test platforms and system-level test interfaces.
- Work with ATE equipment (testers/probers) and integrate optical interfaces on production ATE systems.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience are listed first, followed by advantages.
- 2+ years as a Mechanical Design Engineer working with CAD tools and collaborating with board design teams.
- Experience with lab bring-up, test-platform debugging, and implementing thermal/mechanical constraints for testing and production.
- Familiarity with digital circuits, power systems, and high-speed design considerations.
- Project management skills and ability to coordinate across R&D and production groups.
- Personal skills: self-directed, multi-disciplined, able to manage multiple tasks, and effective interpersonal communication.
- Nice-to-have: familiarity with system-level test (SLT) and final test workflows, experience with ATE testers/probers and high-power socket/thermal solutions, and exposure to HTOL/reliability testing or optical interface integration.
Education Requirements
B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering is required.
