Mechanical Developer - 5g Radio Units jobs at Dell in Canada, Ottawa

What you’ll achieve

, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and validation of mechanical solutions for ruggedized outdoor radio units.

You willspan multiple phases of product development in your work:

• Design & Architecture -- Develop and maintain mechanical components for complete RU designs as part of a collaborative team. | Design machined and die-cast enclosures with input for thermal management. | Support design of ancillary items such as test fixtures, mounts, and cable assemblies. | Assist in selecting critical components (connectors, thermal transfer materials, EMI shielding, sealing hardware)

• Implementation -- Provide mechanical requirements for ECAD-MCAD collaboration using EMN file transfer. | Create mechanical designs using CREO , Windchill , and perform simulations in Ansys . | Work closely with manufacturing teams to troubleshoot assembly issues. | Support NPI development with hands-on mechanical assembly and debug

• Validation & Testing -- Perform thermal simulations and validate designs through empirical testing. | Conduct shock and vibration simulations and physical tests.

• Collaboration -- Partner with system, hardware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration. | Maintain strong vendor relationships and contribute to component selection decisions.

Essential Requirements

• 1–2 years of mechanical design experience (CREO and Windchill preferred).
• Experience with thermal or structural simulation.
• Hands-on experience designing machined and sheet metal parts.
• General understanding of rugged, outdoor, environmentally sealed product design.

Desirable Skills

• 3+ years of relevant experience (or equivalent education/experience).
• Thermal simulation experience with Ansys Icepak (natural convection and conduction). | Mechanical design experience in RF or telecom products. | ECAD-MCAD collaboration with PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence). | Experience in product testing and fixture design (thermal, mechanical load). | Familiarity with manufacturing methods: sheet metal, machining, die casting, injection molding. | Knowledge of industry standards (NEBS, ETSI, IEC, MIL-STD-810). | PLM experience (Agile) and understanding of configuration management.

You will:

• Contribute to the design and architecture of new or re-engineered software environments

• Build and review design, functional, technical and/or user documentation, as needed

• Apply your skills on programming languages, operating systems; BIOS; Device Drivers; embedded software/firmware; tools and utilities

• Apply the knowledge learned from new tools, languages, OS with on the job experience

• Apply the skills on cutting edge CI/CD toolsets, such asAtlassian/gitlab/more,Powershell scripts & Python, Install Shield/WIX alike

Essential Requirements

• 8+ years of experience with B.E / B.Tech & 6+ years of experience with M.E / M.S / M.Tech.

• Programming skills: C++, C#, .Net Framework, .Net Core, WPF, WinUI3. Ability to code/debug and guide others to code/debug flexible, scalable and complex programs, using either written or verbal design specifications

• Ability to collaborate with Technologists, architect innovative features, develop Proof Of Concepts (POCs) and contribute significantly to Product Roadmap

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively; and make significant contributions during technical brainstorming sessions

• Experience working on or leading agile development teams (ideally leveraging Scrum or Kanban) A software development or DevOps automation background is a big plus & experience interacting with Product Owners, Product Marketing to help build the User Stories

Desirable Requirements

• Deep functional knowledge or hands on design experience with Windows OS Internals, OS resource management, peripheral management are needed to be successful in this position

• Familiarity to Agile/Scrum based SW development will be an added advantage
