What You'll Do

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with the platform engineering mechanical team  in San Jose, California. The job involves working on current and next-generation mechanical designs of telecom systems.

High-Level Responsibilities:

• Design and deliver fixed or modular chassis and cards that meets system product requirements.
• Perform detailed 2D tolerance analysis for complex electro-mechanical assemblies using spreadsheet and/or 3D tolerance analysis tool such as CETol.
• Design and develop innovative mechanical solutions using sheet metal, plastic, and die-cast that meets EMI, safety and compliance requirements.
• Develop 3D CAD model using Creo or NX.
• Create detailed drawings by applying Geometric Tolerancing and Dimensioning (GD&T) principles.
• Participate in resolution of issues by working closely with manufacturing team and supplier and developing mitigation plans.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams (HW, SI, CAD, Thermal, Manufacturing, etc.) to negotiate requirements and evaluate technical risks and tradeoffs.
• Design heat sinks using guidance from thermal simulations and create the drawings and 3D files to prototype and manufacture the parts.
• Define printed circuit board (PCB) size(s), outlines, and keep outs. Exchange IDF with ECAD engineer, develop sheet-metal/ plastic enclosures to meet intended performance and cost targets.
• Collaborate with thermal engineers to design and implement cooling solutions.
• Collaborate with manufacturing team on DFM/DFA/production issues
• Teamwork: the candidate must be able to communicate well with cross-functional team members, be able to efficiently collaborate with team members to achieve project goals, and contribute positively to the engineering community.
• Provide technical design guidance and mentoring for junior engineers

Preferred Qualifications:

• Solid knowledge in manufacturing tooling for sheet metal, plastic, and die-casting
• Experience in designing plastic and die-cast parts
• Strong mechanical aptitude
• Mechanism design experience a plus
• Some experience in performing static and dynamic analysis using tools such as Creo Simulate or ANSYS.
• An excellent team player who is willing to work as a team to find the best solution for the product

Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (39 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
