FEA Engineer

We are part of a world-class product development organization that pioneers industry-leading hardware designs for IBM POWER Systems servers as well as Storage, Quantum, and IBM Research. Within this organization, the IBM mechanical design team is seeking a professional with experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling to complement the design team in designing next generation computers.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.
