Staff Mechanical Product Development Engineer- Integrated Predictive Analysis

Role Overview

Staff Mechanical Product Development Engineer – Integrated Predictive Analysis (Mechanical Center of Excellence)

You will lead advanced mechanical research, design, and validation for interconnect systems used in AI data centers, high-performance computing, and next-generation communication infrastructure. The role combines mechanical innovation with integrated predictive simulation, requiring technical depth and high autonomy from early prototypes through NPI handoff.

Responsibilities

• Strategy & Architecture

  • Define and drive system-level simulation architecture integrating design, materials, and manufacturing into unified digital workflows.
  • Influence product/technology roadmaps by embedding integrated predictive simulation, robustness, and digital engineering.

• Simulation Method Development & Design Enablement

  • Develop and deploy integrated predictive engineering methodologies combining product design, manufacturing simulation, and multiphysics analysis.
  • Improve design robustness and “first-time-right” outcomes using:
    • MDO (multi-disciplinary optimization)
    • Design space exploration
    • Sensitivity analysis
    • Tolerance-aware design
  • Establish predictive frameworks such as:
    • Reduced-order models (ROMs)
    • Compact models
    • Digital twins linking simulation, test, and field performance.

• Physics-AI & Workflow Automation

  • Drive adoption of Physics-AI approaches combining simulation data, test data, and machine learning.
  • Build automated simulation workflows integrating CAD, meshing, solving, and post-processing.
  • Enable data-driven engineering via pipelines for model calibration, surrogate modeling, and rapid design iteration.

• Cross-Functional Integration

  • Translate simulation insights into actionable decisions across product and process domains.
  • Collaborate with electrical, signal integrity, system architecture, manufacturing, and supplier development teams.

• Validation / Robustness / Go-To-Production

  • (Section begins but is truncated in the source text.)
