As a Structural Design Engineer, you will be fully integrated into the product development process from the earliest stages. You will build finite element models, analyze AR/VR designs, characterize materials, verify and validate finite element models. You will work as part of a cross-functional team requiring collaboration with product design, manufacturing design, materials and reliability teams. Our ideal candidate has solid mechanics fundamentals, experience in static & dynamic finite element analysis, material characterization & modeling, experience in consumer electronics, and good communication skills.
Structural Design Engineer - FEA (University Grad) Responsibilities:
- As a structural design engineer, work across the full product development cycle, from concept inception to shipping product.
- Build system-level & module-level finite element models to assess risk of various failure modes under different loading conditions and propose changes to make the design more robust and reliable.
- Perform module-level shock and thermo-mechanical analyses.
- Participate in structural design reviews, design brainstorms, and present FEA results in a form actionable by cross-functional teams and leadership.
- Collaborate with the materials team and/or outside vendors to characterize materials and components.
- Collaborate with REL & DVE teams on FEA model validation as well as development of technical specifications.
