About the role

The Role:

As a Mechanical Engineer at Cerebras, you will lead the design of mechanical systems for our next-generation wafer-scale engine. Your responsibilities will include ensuring compliance with specifications, validating manufacturability, and delivering a high-quality product in a fast-paced environment—tackling some of the most challenging problems in the rapidly evolving AI space.

In this role, you will develop mechanical infrastructure for Cerebras’ custom hardware system.

  • Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades and steer overall product direction.
  • Provide comprehensive support for environmental and performance testing on hardware, validating analyses, and ensuring compliance with design criteria.
  • Ownership of technical deliverables within schedules.
  • Conduct first article inspections, functional analysis, identify and resolve issues
  • Collaborate across design-manufacturing-production, diagnostic and embedded software engineering teams, contractors and suppliers
  • Perform detailed structural analysis to engineer robust hardware.

Responsibilities:

  • Work in a fast paced, high energy environment with short product development cycles on many challenging electro-mechanical projects
  • Drive and own all design aspects of electro-mechanical systems from concept to bring-up and production
  • Work with cross functional teams to gather all design requirements to lead the mechanical design, troubleshoot, and create & release all deliverables including drawings, BOMs, etc.
  • Work closely with thermal engineers to solve mechanical challenges
  • Evaluate materials and components to meet performance, schedule and cost targets
  • Work closely with vendors to resolve any DFM/A issues quickly

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer
  • BS in Mechanical Engineering
  • Strong analytical, diagnostic and problem-solving skills
  • Very strong in 3D solids modeling CAD package, proficiency with Solidworks would be preferable
  • Proficient with PLM system, such as Arena or Agile
  • Proficient in CTF dimensioning and GD&T
  • Must be able to do full Tolerance Analysis of complex systems and have working knowledge of FEA
  • Great team player with strong interpersonal & communication skills
  • Experience in electronic liquid cooling is a plus
  • Must have in-depth knowledge of all latest fabrication processes; sheet metal, machining, die-casting, injection molding, and 3D printing

The base salary range for this position is $180,000 to $200,000 annually. Actual compensation may include bonus and equity, and will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.
