- International Coordination:Act as the primary technical interface with the Thailand-based team (responsible for complementary subsystems) to ensure seamless mechanical and system integration.
- Stakeholder Management:Collaborate closely with the System Engineer and Project Manager to align design progress with project milestones.
- BOM Management:Manage and maintain theSystem BOM(Bill of Materials), ensuring accuracy and traceability.
- Requirements Analysis & Flow-down:Analyze customer specifications and System Requirements to define mechanical constraints (thermal, structural). Translate these high-level requirements into actionable tasks for the engineering team.
- Compliance Management:Maintain the Requirements Compliance Matrix (VCRM), ensuring every design decision (materials, coatings, fasteners) aligns with the technical specs andMIL-STD-810standards
2. Design & Development (SolidWorks):
- Rugged Packaging:Supervise the mechanical design ofVPX 3Ubased systems, ensuring structural integrity andIP65sealing (watertight/dust-tight) for harsh environments.
- Thermal Management:Lead the design of high-efficiency thermal solutions (conduction cooling) for high-power density electronics. This may include the use ofheat pipes, heat spreaders, cold plates.etc.
- System Integration:Oversee the integration of the Backplane and the IO Panel (circular connectors), defining the interconnection strategy (cabling to payloads or rigid-flex PCB to backplane).
- Supervise prototype assembly and integration.
- Define and oversee verification plans according toMIL-STD-810 / D0-160standards (vibration, shock, temperature, etc.).
- Education:Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace or related field.
