Sr. Engineer, Mechanical Design

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the design and productization of mechanical and thermal solutions for high-performance PCIe Cards and multi-chip Server systems.

This role is on-site, based out of Santa Clara, CA or Toronto, Canada.

Responsibilities:

• Design and validate advanced mechanical solutions for high-power AI computing systems, including PCIe Cards and multi-chip Server Systems
• Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to ensure mechanical reliability, including PCB microstrain validation.
• Manage complex BOMs and part lifecycles in a PLM system
• Collaborate with PCB engineers to ensure compatibility between PCB layouts and mechanical enclosures, thermal systems, and other critical components
• Oversee DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) efforts, working closely with suppliers to optimize part production and cost efficiency
• Work with world-class suppliers, contractors, and test labs to ensure high-quality manufacturing and testing processes
• Conduct product-level reliability testing, including vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and environmental testing, to validate design robustness
• Generate detailed design documentation, including engineering drawings, test reports, and design guidelines, and provide training as needed
• Lead design reviews and provide technical mentorship to junior engineers

Experience & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably for high-performance electronics or AI computing systems
• Expertise in enclosure design for electronics, including integration with thermal management solutions
• Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks preferred), with experience in wire harness design and surfacing
• Strong knowledge of various manufacturing processes, including injection molding, die-casting, extrusions, stamping, and 3D printing
• Deep understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and engineering drawing creation
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a strong analytical mindset
• Ability to travel internationally (up to 15% of the time) as required for supplier visits and critical design reviews

Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.
