Graduate Mechanical Engineer 3D Printing Hardware

About HP and the 3D Printing Organization

The HP Barcelona campus is the worldwide headquarters for HPs 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing (HPAM) business hosting one of the largest R&D hubs outside the United States. We are seeking a graduate Mechanical Engineer to join our R&D hardware team to support the development testing and industrialization of next-generation digital manufacturing systems.

Job Summary

This roleis responsible fordesigning portions of engineering solutions and collaborating with internal and outsourced development partners. The position involves implementing and validating test plans conducting basic feasibility studies and evaluating device orcomponentfailures. The engineer will apply a foundational understanding of mechanical engineering principles theories and concepts to assignments of limited scope whileutilizingmodern digital and AI-assisted workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• ComponentDesign:Design portions of engineering solutions for mechanical hardware thermal systems and enclosures using 3D CAD tools gradually incorporating AI-assisted tools.

• Testing & Validation:Execute established test plans for existing designs including validation of tolerances form/fit/function shock and vibration safety and thermal performance.

• Data Automation:Collect and analyze empirical data from test setupsutilizingbasic scripting (mainly Python) and AI coding assistants to automate routine data collection and process test logs.

• Failure Analysis:Evaluate physical or operational failures of components and subsystems todeterminethe root causeleveraginginternal databases and AI search tools to reference historical engineering data.

• Prototyping:Assistin building testing and refining early-stage prototypes that integrate mechanical electrical and fluidic components.

• Team Collaboration:Participateas an active member of a multi-disciplinary project team providing objective information analysis and data-driven recommendations to support teamobjectives.

Education & Experience Required

• Bachelors orMasters degree in Mechanical Engineering graduated within the last 12 months

• No previous experience is required but internships on a related field will be a plus

Technical Competencies

• 3D CAD & Modeling:Solid foundational knowledge of PTC Creo SolidWorks or equivalent 3D modeling tools.

• Manufacturing Processes:Basic understanding of design parameters for sheet metal injection molding traditional machining alongside an introduction to Design for Additive Manufacturing / 3d Printing.

• Thermal & Fluid Fundamentals:Clear understanding of heat transfer fluid mechanics and the thermal properties of engineering materials.

• Simulation & Engineering Tools:Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software (e.g. Ansys) for basic design validation.

• AI & Data Literacy:Practical experience using AI productivity tools LLMs for technical document synthesis and AI-assisted coding to accelerate basic data analysis or scripting tasks.

Cross-Org Skills

• Learning Agility:Ability to quickly assimilate new engineering methodologies corporate standards and digital workflows.

• Problem Solving:Strong analytical approach to diagnosing physical failures or mechanical interferences.

• Communication:Professionalproficiencyin written and verbal English; ability to present technical data clearly to peers.
