InDepth Engineering Solutions
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
InDepth Engineering Solutions, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
This role will design mechanical test systems for vehicle electronics. You’ll work on developing mechanical solutions for design characterization, validation, and manufacturing.
Responsibilities
Design modular and reusable mechanical fixtures for testing vehicle electronics. This will start with manual bench‑top setups and will evolve to fully automated systems for volume production
Work with cross‑functional engineering groups to define mechanical test requirements for electronics and drive design decisions that help with the testability of ECUs.
Design custom mechanical interfaces to connect to ECUs. This can range from pogo‑pin connections to bed‑of‑nails style probing
Design rack‑based test systems that reduce complexity and improve build time when replicating at scale
Create well documented diagrams, bills of materials, and standard operating procedures for test automation systems
Develop and release drawings, BOM and specifications.
Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors during purchasing, station build, integration and final commissioning
Provide technical oversight to vendors for manufacturing of mechanical components and systems
Work with technicians to communicate requirements and ensure proper implementation
Requirements
BS/MS or equivalent work experience in Mechanical Engineering or related fields
5+ years of relevant working experience designing modular mechanical hardware for test automation systems that range from R&D to high‑volume manufacturing
Expert at using 3D CAD design software like Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ProE, etc
Ability to read electrical circuits and schematics, navigating PCB layouts and understand manufacturer’s product data sheets
Experience working in the automotive, semiconductor, or aerospace industries
Experience with electronics testing/probing/harnessing technologies like mass interconnect solutions (VPC), specialty probes (Ingun), etc
Experience supporting deployment automated test equipment in manufacturing environments
Hands‑on hardware integration experience with automated test equipment
