Principal Mechanical Design Engineer

Join our Applied R&D Electromechanical Design team and work at the forefront of multi‑discipline innovation, where you’ll tackle complex, target-oriented challenges spanning hardware, software and system design. 

In this role, you will contribute to the design, development and implementation of electromechanical solutions for Base Transceiver Station (BTS) modules and units, including mechanics, thermal management, interconnections, power supply units (PSU), printed wiring board (PWB) layouts and overall hardware usability. You will systematically combine existing knowledge and best practices to solve real-world problems, provide techno‑economic consulting to internal and external stakeholders, and drive incremental improvements in products, operational processes and customer-specific features. 

If you are passionate about creating high-quality, highly reliable, easy-to-install, and cost-efficient products in a detailed and technically challenging environment, we’d like to hear from you.
