Mechanical Engineer Electronic Packaging

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will design and development of modules and systems for Molex OSBU's optical networking hardware-line cards and highperformance optical platforms. You will apply mechanical design experience and knowledge working in a highly capable team of optical, mechanical, electrical and process engineers to develop and deliver our products meeting internal and customer requirements.

You will be responsible for the overall mechanical design, specifications and performance of developing products from conceptual phase through production.

Molex is a global leader in the optical industry, renowned for delivering high-performance, field-proven wavelength management solutions. Our expertise spans components, modules, integrated line-cards, and chassis, with a strong focus on innovation, miniaturization, and manufacturing automation. Our advanced optical, mechanical, electrical, and software design capabilities support the evolving needs of high-density, high-bandwidth, and flexible optical networks across telecom, datacom, hyperscale datacenters, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing.

Based in Fremont, CA, you'll join a global team serving world-wide telecom and datacom clients, developing next-generation optical systems for AI, cloud, and 5G networks.
