Etched is hiring a versatile Manufacturing Mechanical Engineer. You will own the seamless product introduction from prototype through high-volume ramp, with a strong focus on custom mechanical components and the tooling required to produce them at quality and scale. This is an outbound, supplier-facing role. You will work directly with Taiwan-based tooling and manufacturing suppliers to drive the readiness of hard and soft tooling for custom components (bracket trees, backside stiffeners, custom tray designs, 4U tray assemblies, and rack chassis). When technical issues arise with tooling, quality, or design on custom parts, you will be responsible for rapid resolution and proactively improving processes to prevent issues before they occur. The scope of this role will grow significantly as we move to next-generation full-rack-level designs, requiring close partnership with suppliers on new tooling development and manufacturing processes
Job Responsibility:
Lead NPI and sustaining engineering activities on the mechanical side, from proto builds through volume ramp
Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews for mechanical parts, enclosures, and cooling systems to ensure scalable and cost-effective builds
Partner with Suppliers, CMs, and ODMs to qualify new materials, processes, and tooling
Perform and quality control tolerance stack-up analysis, fit checks, and DOE studies for critical assemblies
Work with hardware and thermal teams to optimize mechanical design for cooling, reliability, and manufacturability
Own tooling, fixtures, and process validation for mechanical subassemblies and system integration
Review and influence Process FMEA and Design FMEA for mechanical systems
Develop, release, and maintain product documentation and manufacturing specifications
Provide leadership in complex issue resolution and supplier technical capability development
Requirements:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
5+ years of experience in manufacturing, mechanical design, product design, or equivalent
Proven experience in enclosure/electro-mechanical system builds, thermals, cables, interconnects, fasteners, hoses, and mechanical DFM
Knowledge of manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal, die casting, plastic molding, and cooling solutions
Hands-on experience with CAD/CAE tools (NX, SolidWorks, etc) and GD&T practices
Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on yield, manufacturability, quality, failure analysis, and cost optimization
Experience collaborating with suppliers, CMs, ODMs, and Tier 2 suppliers
Familiarity with process validation, DOE, reliability testing, and FA
Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
What we offer:
Competitive compensation packages, including generous equity packages
Comprehensive insurance coverage and other top-of-market benefits
