Mechanical Engineer

Introduction

As a Hardware Developer at IBM, you’ll get to work on the systems that are driving the quantum revolution and the AI era. Join an elite team of engineering professionals who enable IBM customers to make better decisions quicker on the most trusted hardware platform in today’s market..

Your Role And Responsibilities

The India System design team is responsible to own and deliver System design milestones for IBM POWER, Storage and mainframe platforms. The team collaborates with Global System design & development teams and stakeholders. As a Mechanical Engineer, the candidate must have experience in mechanical design with skills in 3D mechanical modelling, design for manufacturing, and product release process & join industry leading engineer pioneering the future of high performance and high reliability server solutions.

Challenges of high performance and high reliability server solutions include high density designs with complex system requirements that require creative solutions from our mechanical design team to optimize system designs. The candidate will work in a multi-functional environment where the requirements of thermal, acoustics, electro-magnetic-compatibility (EMC), structural integrity, safety, industrial design, cost, performance, and functionality must all be satisfied to deliver a final solution. Working with a focused team, the candidate will develop the product design from concept through product release.

Primary responsibilities will be to specify IBM Appliance product configurations composed of compute servers, storage drawers, networking switches, and cabling to enable worldwide fulfilment and shipping to external clients.

Secondary responsibilities will be to develop mechanical models through engagement with the expanded team, rapid prototype critical hardware updates, release design changes to manufacturing, evaluate hardware for design improvements, and engage suppliers.

Responsibilities

As Mechanical Engineer, the responsibilities include

• Creation of Bill of Materials (BOM), product structures, engineering changes (EC)
• Working with multi-disciplinary engineering team to collaborate on development and definition of complex rack level integrated products with multiple compute, storage, and networking systems components.
• Interface with development, manufacturing, and compliance teams to enable fulfilment of complex rack level integrated products out of IBM manufacturing division.
• Mechanical component and integrated assembly design through multiple iterations from early concept level to final production level
• Computer Aided Design (CAD)
• Mechanical analysis (tolerance, clash, Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Material selection and parts design optimization for functionality, cost, and manufacturability
