Mechanical Designer Jobs

As a member of the Mechanical Engineering team, the Mechanical Designer is responsible for designing thin wall plastic injection molded parts, die castings, sheet metal parts, keypads and other electro mechanical component parts for BlackBerry® products and assemblies.

This role is responsible for design work using Pro/Engineer 3D CAD software and will interface with tooling, PCB layout, RF, base band, acoustic, manufacturing, industrial design and other internal RIM groups to produce cost-effective, high quality and highly functional products.

Other job responsibilities include supporting product definition, generating concepts, creating part drawings, investigating new packaging technologies, interfacing with suppliers, and qualifying parts and assemblies. Mechanical Designers also perform tolerance analysis, and part and drawing release.

Digital Hardware Designer Jobs

The Digital Hardware Designer is responsible for the design, prototyping, debugging and verification of digital hardware for wireless devices. This job requires extensive knowledge of digital electronics design with a strong bias towards mobile processor, memories, and digital and analog baseband circuitry.

Job responsibilities include defining test hardware, developing test software, writing up verification plans and reports, as well as verifying processor-based sub-systems with logic analyzers and high-speed scopes. The person will interface regularly with other engineering groups (including hardware, software, factory and component qualification) and external electronic components suppliers.

Audio Engineer Jobs

This job is suitable for a seasoned engineer with cell phone experience, ranging from component selection to DSP tuning. The role demands implementing hardware and acoustic devices, as well as optimizing the DSP parameter to yield world-class audio performance.

Reliability Test Engineer Jobs

The Reliability Test Engineer works closely with different engineering design groups on new product introduction. This includes reliability testing and reliability monitoring activities, design, and development and validation of RF/electrical test software and related hardware fixtures to automate test stations for new products.

Additionally, the person in this job maintains and improves reliability test stations for existing products and works with other reliability personnel to perform and supervise failure analysis activities (after reliability tests to identify failure root cause and feed back the information to engineering design groups).
