· Work autonomously and deliver FEA models and simulations on schedule.
· Create and run simulations on various components and systems using ANSYS software to model and predict behavior under various loads, conditions, and stresses.
· Document and communicate modeling results to the mechanical design team along with feedback on necessary changes to optimize designs.
· 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 fulfillment of complex rack level integrated products out of IBM manufacturing division.
· Material selection and parts design optimization for functionality, cost, and manufacturability
· Identify areas for design and process improvement.
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 fulfillment and shipping to external clients.
