Senior CAD Engineer

Job Summary:

Key Responsibilities:

• Create and manage high-fidelity CAD models (SolidWorks preferred) for cold plates, immersion tanks, manifolds, CDU enclosures, and structural components.


• Generate manufacturing-ready 2D technical drawings with proper tolerances and GD&T.


• Work closely with thermal, mechanical, and systems engineers to ensure functional and thermal performance requirements are met.


• Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to refine designs for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA).


• Participate in design reviews, FMEA, and prototype testing processes.


• Own version control and documentation for all mechanical design files.


• Develop BoMs, fabrication drawings, and exploded views for assembly manuals.


• Support rapid prototyping (e.g., 3D printing, CNC machining) and perform tolerance stack-ups.


• Assist in packaging analysis for racks and modules and in system-level integration.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree/ Master's Preferred in Mechanical Engineering or related field.


• 5+ years of experience in CAD design of mechanical components and assemblies, ideally in electronics cooling, thermal systems, or data center infrastructure.


• Expert proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software.


• Deep knowledge of mechanical design principles, including GD&T, sheet metal, plastics, and castings.


• Familiarity with thermal system components (cold plates, heat exchangers, manifolds).


• Strong understanding of DFM/DFA practices.


• Experience in PLM systems (e.g., Arena, Windchill) and change control processes.

Preferred:

• Experience with liquid cooling, two-phase systems, or immersion cooling.


• Knowledge of electrochemical additive manufacturing (ECAM) or other advanced fabrication methods.


• Familiarity with ASME standards and regulatory certifications for mechanical systems.


• Experience working in fast-paced startups or product-driven R&D environments.
