Mechanical Engineer

Overview

Endeavour has an exciting opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer passionate about sustainability and innovative infrastructure. The role joins a dedicated engineering team responsible for mechanical packaging, structural design, thermal-fluid management, and the commercial release of high-power, grid-connected converters for utility-scale energy storage, data centers, and industrial electrification. The candidate will contribute to multi-megawatt (multi-MW) cabinet-type power conversion systems, with focus on structural mechanics, thermodynamic heat transfer, and physical packaging architectures.

The team owns the electro-mechanical lifecycle from initial volumetric trade studies to detailed thermal/structural designs and ruggedized enclosure design.

The ideal candidate has a proven, referenceable track record translating complex electro-mechanical hardware from concept through prototyping, validation, regulatory approval, to high-volume production. You will collaborate with electrical, firmware/controls, compliance, reliability, and manufacturing teams, as well as external suppliers, to transition novel physical designs into robust, production-ready platforms.

This role requires an agile, self-motivated professional who is highly organized, an excellent communicator, and capable of operating with complete discretion.

• Mechanical Architecture & Cabinet Design:
  Lead the physical packaging and structural design of multi-MW, industrial-grade cabinets and utility enclosures, including IP-rated and outdoor-rated power equipment. Drive comprehensive trade studies on design, architecture, materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Thermal Management & Multi-Physics Simulation:
  Design, model, simulate, and implement advanced thermal dissipation systems (forced-convection air and liquid cooling, including cold plates, thermal interface materials, and optimized airflow paths). Familiarity with structural finite element analysis, thermal computational fluid dynamics, vibration, and fatigue assessments.
• Power Stacks & Electro-Mechanical Integration:
  Design and pack high-density electronic assemblies, PCBA interfaces, custom magnetic components, insulators, heavy-duty busbars, and high-voltage/high-current connectors. Balance electrical isolation, EMI/EMC shielding, and mechanical constraints.
• Documentation & PLM Releases:
  Create detailed 3D CAD models and professional 2D drawings utilizing Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Perform tolerance stack-up analyses. Assist with engineering documentation, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and help manage engineering change orders (ECOs) through PLM systems.
• FMEA, Validation, & DVP&R:
  Participate in mechanical Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) activities.
• Prototype Development & Lab Testing:
  Physical prototype fabrication, electro-mechanical assembly, custom test-rig setup, and hands-on mechanical testing of new designs. Support root-cause analysis of pilot or production failures and drive iterative hardware revisions.
• DFA/DFM & Production Scaling:
  Collaborate with industrial design, quality, manufacturing, and external suppliers to optimize Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), assembly procedures, and tooling strategies. Develop detailed assembly procedures and instructions to support scalable, high-yield production.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field (PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering is a plus).
• Experience:
  
  10+ years of industry experience in mechanical design and product packaging for power electronics, industrial, or energy products.
• CAD & Simulation Mastery:
  Expert-level proficiency in CAD modeling software, including 3
  
  DEXPERIENCE (CATIA V5/V6), Solid Works, NX, or Creo. Theoretical and practical understanding of physics, dynamics, heat transfer, and materials.
• Advanced Multi-Physics Tooling:
  Strong background in advanced structural, thermal, and vibration analysis using commercial software (e.g., Ansys, Comsol).
• Manufacturing Process Knowledge:
  Demonstrated experience in designing and packaging for injection molding, die casting, extrusion, and sheet metal forming. Working knowledge of metals (aluminum, steel), engineering plastics, ceramics, structural insulators, gaskets, and potting compounds.
• Mass Production Track Record:
  Referenceable hands-on experience taking complex, physical electro-mechanical designs from early-stage concept through prototyping, supplier tooling development, pilot runs, and successful high-volume production deployment.
• Safety & Regulatory Compliance:
  Familiarity with the documentation, testing, and design integration required to meet international regulatory standards (e.g., UL, IEC, NFPA, ISO, etc.).
• Communication &
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Exceptional communication skills with the ability to actively participate in technical deep-dives, coordinate concurrent engineering…
