Mechanical Engineer, RF Systems

What you'll do:

• Design specialized RF Heating plant components working closely with RF Engineers. These include large-diameter coaxial transmission lines and devices such as stub tuners and RF testing loads
• Decompose high-level system requirements into actionable mechanical specifications, owning the mechanical designs for the RF Heating system
• Collaborate daily with a dedicated CAD drafting team, providing clear guidance to detail, rigorously reviews, and releases
• Partner cross-functionally with RF engineers, electronics engineers, process engineers, and other disciplines
• Architect thermal management solutions by integrating complex water and air cooling loops directly into high-power electronics enclosures and plant systems
• Develop large sheet metal components, precise mounting hardware for custom printed circuit board assemblies, cold plates, and more
• Perform structural loads analysis and thermal analyses to ensure design viability

What we’re looking for:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field

5+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience in industrial, heavy machinery, high-power electronics, electric vehicle, or aerospace environments

Demonstrated experience as the primary creator and owner of mechanical design architectures, operating as a core design engineer

Direct experience performing structural loads analysis and thermal analyses to validate mechanical designs

High proficiency in 3D CAD software and creating detailed manufacturing drawings utilizing GD&T standards

Possess a strong fundamental understanding of heat transfer, structural mechanics, and fluid dynamics

Bonus points for:

Experience using Siemens NX for 3D modeling and Teamcenter for product lifecycle management and drawing release workflows

Background decomposing complex system requirements into clear mechanical hardware specifications

Experience designing large-scale pipe routing, coaxial transmission lines, flanges, bellows, or active water and air cooling systems

Experience with complex electronics assemblies and the thermal management of such assemblies

Deep familiarity with sheet metal fabrication processes, machining capabilities, and communicating directly with contract manufacturers

Must-have Requirements:

Ability to lift up to 50lbs

Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, standing, typing or sitting for extended periods of time

Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally

Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
