Mechanical Developer

Dell's 5G R&D team is building next-generation Radio Units (RU) from the ground up for private and federal networks. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll play a key role in shaping the mechanical design of these advanced systems—from concept through to volume production. This is a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, collaborate across disciplines, and gain hands-on experience in a rapidly growing field.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Mechanical Design Engineer – 5G Radio Units on our Mechanical Engineering Team in Ottawa, ON (Onsite).

What you'll achieve

As a Mechanical Design Engineer – 5G Radio Units, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and validation of mechanical solutions for ruggedized outdoor radio units.

You will span multiple phases of product development in your work:

• Design & Architecture - Develop and maintain mechanical components for complete RU designs as part of a collaborative team. | Design machined and die-cast enclosures with input for thermal management. | Support design of ancillary items such as test fixtures, mounts, and cable assemblies. | Assist in selecting critical components (connectors, thermal transfer materials, EMI shielding, sealing hardware)

• Implementation - Provide mechanical requirements for ECAD-MCAD collaboration using EMN file transfer. | Create mechanical designs using CREO, Windchill, and perform simulations in Ansys. | Work closely with manufacturing teams to troubleshoot assembly issues. | Support NPI development with hands-on mechanical assembly and debug

• Validation & Testing - Perform thermal simulations and validate designs through empirical testing. | Conduct shock and vibration simulations and physical tests.

• Collaboration - Partner with system, hardware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration. | Maintain strong vendor relationships and contribute to component selection decisions.

Take the first step towards your dream career

Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table.

Here's what we are looking for with this role:

Essential Requirements

• 1–2 years of mechanical design experience (CREO and Windchill preferred).
• Experience with thermal or structural simulation.
• Hands-on experience designing machined and sheet metal parts.
• General understanding of rugged, outdoor, environmentally sealed product design.

Desirable Skills

• 3+ years of relevant experience (or equivalent education/experience).
• Thermal simulation experience with Ansys Icepak (natural convection and conduction). | Mechanical design experience in RF or telecom products. | ECAD-MCAD collaboration with PCB layout tools (e.g., Cadence). | Experience in product testing and fixture design (thermal, mechanical load). | Familiarity with manufacturing methods: sheet metal, machining, die casting, injection molding. | Knowledge of industry standards (NEBS, ETSI, IEC, MIL-STD-810). | PLM experience (Agile) and understanding of configuration management.

Why Join Us?

Work on groundbreaking 5G technology in a high-impact role. | Gain exposure to end-to-end product development—from concept to production. | Collaborate with world-class engineers and grow your technical expertise. | Contribute to Dell's innovation pipeline and intellectual property portfolio.
