Title- Mechanical Engineer

Location : Milpitas, CA (Onsite)

Duration : 1 Year

The Senior Engineer, Mechanical Design at ACL Digital is a key role focused on mechanical assemblies for our Robotics and Automation product lines. This position is ideal for an individual contributor who will work within a multi-disciplinary engineering team to address product, supply chain, and quality challenges.

The engineer will be responsible for designing, prototyping, and testing solutions, ensuring a smooth transition from engineering to manufacturing and ultimately to the field. In this role, the engineer will lead technical teams to develop and evaluate design changes to existing products, tackling complex multi-product level problems that require thorough analysis of various factors.

The engineer will also lead the design and analysis of intricate mechanical systems, conduct formal technical reviews with a focus on Design for Manufacturing (DFM), tolerance stack-up, and serviceability. Additionally, the engineer will execute failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to identify high-risk areas and improve designs, as well as lead root cause analysis (RCA) efforts to define effective corrective actions.

The position also involves mentoring and coordinating with other engineers, managing multiple concurrent tasks, and developing quarterly goals. The engineer must be willing to travel to domestic and international locations to support customers, evaluate field issues, and assist with the startup of new products.

This role requires a self-starter who can work independently while also fostering strong collaborative relationships within cross-functional teams.

Role & Responsibilities

• Lead multi-disciplinary technical teams to develop and evaluate design changes to our existing product portfolio.
• Evaluate complex multi-product level problems where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of various factors.
• Lead the design and analysis of complex mechanical systems, including formal technical reviews with a focus on DFM, tolerance stack-up, and serviceability.
• Lead the execution of failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) of system-level and sub-system level designs to identify high-risk areas and improve designs.
• Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) efforts and define creative and effective corrective actions.
• Provide leadership at a system/subassembly project level by assigning work and resolving problems as required.
• Mentor and coordinate other engineers.
• Willingness to travel to domestic and international off-site locations as necessary to directly support customers, evaluate field issues, and support startup activities for new products.
• Estimate, manage, and report time required for multiple, concurrent tasks.
• Develop quarterly goals.

Required Skills

• Ability to practically apply systems engineering best practices to product design changes.
• Advanced knowledge of medical-related technologies, products, markets, customers, and business fundamentals.
• Demonstrated experience with various manufacturing techniques, i.e., injection molding, sheet metal forming, 3D printing, etc.
• Demonstrated experience with Bill of Materials, MRP systems, and the ECR/ECO processes.
• Experience in a project lead role.
• Able to effectively solve problems, work independently on sub-assemblies, and multi-task as required.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills.
• Self-starter, capable of working independently as well as building strong cross-functional collaborative relationships.
• Work in a team environment and assist cross-functional teams with the debugging of complex issues.
• Results-oriented and disciplined, while comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficient with the latest SolidWorks CAD software.
• BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or other Engineering discipline.
• Minimum 8 years of engineering experience.

Nice-to-Haves

• Advanced knowledge of medical products, markets, customers, and business fundamentals.
• Experience with Agile PLM.
• Experience with tolerance stack-up analysis on complex mechanical assemblies, including software packages for conducting tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) theory and software.
• Experience with DFMEA process.
• Working experience with FDA regulated, ISO13485, or other highly regulated environments.

• Education: BS/ BE / BTech / MS / ME / MTech in Electronics / Electrical Engineering from reputed institution
