- Manages the mechanical design aspects ofengineering projects in coordination with program schedule requirements
- Begins to coordinate resources, timelines, anddesign reviews for their portion of the project to ensure successful delivery
- Maintains detailed documentation of designprocesses and decisions, providing clear communication to stakeholders andensuring alignment with project objectives and schedule
- Conducts detailed thermal analysis and designusing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools like FloTHERM or Icepak,ensuring optimal thermal management for electronic devices
- Develops and executes airflow measurements,environmental testing, and thermal validation tests for products, ensuringcompliance with internal and external standards (e.g., ASHRAE Data CenterStandards) and correlation with simulation results
- Leads efforts to ensure mechanical productdesigns meet global regulatory and industry standards by independently managingstandards activities throughout the development lifecycle
- Oversees environmental testing, collaboratingwith internal teams or third-party labs to ensure designs fully comply withrequired standards
- Leads communication with design engineers andprogram managers to align test results and issues, providing guidance on how toaddress constraints in product development
- Manages and coordinates moderately complex tasks,monitoring timelines and deliverables to ensure timely completion and adherenceto requirements for a moderately-sized project or initiative. Efficientlydelegates, monitors, and prioritizes work across multiple projects, providingtechnical oversight and adjusting plans to address shifts in resources ortimelines
- Collaborates across the organization to align onexpectations and achieve shared objectives. Leverages understanding of businessleaders, stakeholders, and/or customers to ensure proposed solutions meet theirneeds. Supports inclusivity by actively seeking and listening to diverseperspectives, ensuring others feel heard and respected
- Identifies and addresses moderately complex issuesby analyzing a wide range of data and/or information to identify solutions inaccordance with standard practices. Proactively escalates unresolved orcritical issues with a thorough assessment and suggests potential solutions.Reviews, contributes to, and documents problem solving strategies
- Pursues learning opportunities to expandknowledge and skills and/or tools in new areas and stays abreast of the latestindustry trends and best practices.
