Location: Bengaluru
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Field Service, Maintenance & Skilled Trades
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •May lead small-scale mechanical engineering projects and take on project management responsibilities for limited-scope features.
  • •Collaborate with stakeholders to support assembly, fabrication, and manufacturing, applying knowledge of manufacturing processes and conducting FMEA.
  • •Perform stack-up tolerance analyses and ensure designs meet Six Sigma quality requirements for high-volume mass production.
  • •Assist with test plans, mechanical design testing, failure analysis, and reliability/environmental verification for developed design elements, materials, parts, and products.
  • •Conduct thermal optimization and moderately complex simulation work (with supervision), including prototype feasibility testing and compliance with prototyping guidelines.

Key Requirements

  • •Bachelors with 10–14 years, or Masters with 8–10 years, or PhD with 6–8 years of related experience.
  • •Hands-on thermal design and validation experience for electro-mechanical equipment across controlled (central office) and uncontrolled (outdoor) environments.
  • •Expertise in thermal concept/architecture, defining thermal boundaries, and optimizing cooling solutions to maximize performance with minimal cooling power budget.
  • •Strong validation background with ability to plan comprehensive test plans with minimal iterations.
  • •Expert-level use of simulation and modeling tools for complex thermal environments, including design/verification of heatsink technologies (e.g., heat pipes, chill/cold plates, vapor chambers).
