· Help prepare prototypes and participate in design reviews and product testing

· Learn and apply best practices in electronics packaging, manufacturability, and material selection

Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field

· 1–5 years of relevant experience (internships, co-ops, or academic projects related to electronics or mechanical design are a plus)

· Working knowledge of SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software

· Basic understanding of thermal principles and heat management in electronic systems

· Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn from feedback

· Effective written and verbal communication skills

· Ability to work well in a team and follow project guidance from senior staff

· Clearance Requirement: This position requires a Secret security clearance.

Preferred (but not required):

· Exposure to thermal or FEA tools (e.g., Ansys, FloTHERM, COMSOL)
