Senior Mechanical Engineer

Our people are our brand. We’re proud to be powered by a team that leads with expertise, grit, and purpose.

We are currently looking for Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design and engineering of retrofit and retro-fill solutions for low-voltage and medium-voltage switch gear. You will play a key role in designing, developing, and improving mechanical systems and equipment that support RMS Energy’s customers and field operations.

This position offers the opportunity to take your engineering expertise beyond the desk and see your work make a direct impact in the field.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, operations, field personnel, and project teams to develop practical, reliable, and cost-effective solutions while maintaining high standards for safety, quality, and performance. From concept through implementation, you’ll solve real-world engineering challenges and help ensure projects are successfully delivered on time.

• Develop mechanical designs for LV and MV switch gear retrofit and retro-fill applications, including replacement breakers, compartments, cell structures, bus interfaces, mounting systems, shutters, barriers, doors, and related components.
• Review existing switch gear designs, drawings, photographs, field measurements, bills of material, and customer documentation to determine retrofit feasibility and develop replacement solutions.
• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings using CAD software.
• Design mechanical interfaces between new equipment and existing/legacy switch gear.
• Perform dimensional analysis, tolerance stack-ups, fit-up evaluations, and interference checks to ensure successful installation and operation.
• Develop designs that account for manufacturability, serviceability, installation, structural integrity, clearances, and applicable industry standards.
• Work with electrical engineers to coordinate bus, conductor sizing, breaker control, protection and maintain insulation integrity.
• Review legacy drawings and reverse-engineer existing equipment when necessary.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical recommendations for challenging retrofit applications.
• Support prototype builds, first-article inspections, testing, troubleshooting, and field installation activities.
• Investigate design issues and implement corrective actions when problems are identified during fabrication, assembly, testing, or installation.
• Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including drawings, bills of material, specifications, engineering change documentation, and design calculations.
• Collaborate with suppliers and field service personnel to resolve fabrication and assembly issues.
• Perform engineering calculations, analysis, and evaluations to support projects and equipment improvements.
• Support the selection, specification, and evaluation of mechanical equipment, materials, and components.
• Participate in project planning, estimating, scheduling, and implementation as needed.
• Conduct inspections, testing, and evaluations of equipment and systems.
• Identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability, efficiency, safety, and performance.
• Ensure engineering designs and recommendations comply with applicable codes, standards, and company requirements, such as IEEE C37, IEEE/IEC 62271-37 and UL891
• Perform other duties and special projects as assigned.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
• 5+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience, preferably with significant experience in electrical distribution equipment, switch gear, switchboards, breakers, or related…
