We have a strong cash position, deep trust and partnership with leading customers, a global best-in-class operations capability, and a proven leadership team. We have a track record and resources to make things happen both organically and inorganically. Being part of a nimble company with a solid foundation attracts team members that are capable, driven and like a challenge. Our employees collaborate and know how to have fun inventing, working, building and winning together. At our core, we are Advanced Energy – powering the future, together. POSITION SUMMARY: Advanced Energy products are essential in creating laptops, tablets, cell phones, transportation, and solar energy. As a mechanical engineer here, you will tackle challenging, dynamic work with a highly energized and tight-knit team. No two days are the same. You will be exposed to a variety of cutting-edge products and applications, as well as key customers in the semiconductor, flat panel, and other thin film markets. As a member of a cross functional product design team, you will contribute to product designs from conception through end user qualification and release into production. In this key role you will interact worldwide with all aspects of the business, key vendors, OEM’s and end users. You will see the work you do translating to the success for the company. Provides ground up mechanical support for product development and/or sustaining efforts. Provides direction to the team regarding thermal and structural challenges. Acts as a technical leader for all aspects of the mechanical engineering, design, and documentation involved. RESPONSIBILITIES: • Works as part of a team, balancing time and scope to meet specification and scheduling demands. • Performs the design, analysis, and documentation of cold plates, heat sinks, and other typical electronics cooling mechanisms. • Models and Design of heat transfer related to air- and water-cooled electronic systems, including performing tests to validate simulations/calculations including performing numerical analysis of fluid transport, conjugate heat transfer, structural mechanics, and/or coupled, electromagnetic-mechanical cases. • Create mechanical models/drawings to Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) standards and perform complex analyses of dimensional tolerance. • Ability to specify experiments and procedures to prove, test, and monitor design concepts. • Design for manufacturing (DFM) and assembly (DFA); ability to minimize complexity, part count, incorporate Poke Yoke and achieve high levels of product manufacturability, testability and serviceability • Design products and subcomponents on with typical manufacturing methods for sheet metal, machined parts, casting, molding, extruding, stamping, and 3D printing. WORK ENVIRONMENT: • Location: Eden Prairie, MN • Environment: Standard office environment QUALIFICATIONS : • Must show advanced computer skills with CAD software, Solidworks or similar. • Possesses a solid understanding of design for manufacturing (DFM) and assembly (DFA); ability to minimize complexity, part count, incorporate Poke Yoke and achieve high levels of product manufacturability, testability and serviceability. • Must have a working knowledge of ANSI Y14.5, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and Tolerance Stackup Analysis. • Knowledge of materials science, including nonlinear thermophysical behavior, materials compatibility, metal alloying, corrosion, electron and heat transfer, and dielectric loss. • Experience with numerical analysis software, such as ANSYS, CFD-ACE+, COMSOL, etc. • Ability to specify experiments and procedures to prove, test, and monitor design concepts. • Ability to evaluate simulated and empirical data, understand error and uncertainty in both methods, correlate the data sets, and ultimately provide multiple solution paths for challenging problems. • Ability to self-manage project work from start to finish including conformance to scheduling and cost. • EXPERIENCE: • 1-5 years of related design experience in the development of electronic systems EDUCATION: • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field. COMPENSATION: As required by multiple state pay transparency laws, Advanced Energy provides a reasonable range of compensation for each job posting. Actual compensation is influenced by an array of factors including, but not limited to, skill set, level of experience, and specific office location. The range of starting pay for this role is $75,000 to $105,000 per year.
