Electromechanical Design Engineer

The Electromechanical Design Engineer will work for Low Voltage Switchboard products and will be responsible for sustaining and maintaining the existing offer from a design and technical perspective. In this role you will support manufacturing plants across North America, quality, customer support, industrialization, and other cross‑functional teams by evaluating design‑related issues, approving deviations, reviewing technical documentation, and ensuring that product changes preserve safety, reliability, manufacturability, cost effectiveness, and compliance with applicable standards.

• Maintain the existing Low Voltage Switchboard offer from a design perspective.
• Support manufacturing plants with design‑related questions, issues, deviations, and product clarifications.
• Evaluate plant requests and determine potential impacts on product performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and compliance.
• Support technical resolution of recurring issues in manufacturing, assembly, documentation, or product configuration.
• Ensuring changes or deviations do not create unintended consequences for other plants, product variants, or customer applications.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
• > 3 years of experience responsible for usability testing and design of high-tech products (hardware or software) in support of end user’s needs
• Product experience related to the design of Low Voltage Switchboard
• Previous product development experience is preferred
• Creation of multiple component/assembly solutions to envision product concepts. Development to be synchronized with changes/advances to existing product releases. This includes manipulation of appropriate CAD software.
• Assist in verification of design to performance requirements. This activity includes participation in test plan, results analysis, and the feedback of appropriate design parameters back into component/assembly design.
• Interface with manufacturing organization to ensure that a well‑optimized component/assembly is developed from fabrication/assembly concerns (Tolerance Analysis).
• Develop electronic and hard copy records that conform to internal standards and support the development, implementation and maintenance stages of the projects/products. Examples include up to date BOM (part number, description, material, processes, where used), Component Drawings (geometry, functional dimensioning, process callout), and Project General Files
• Prepare instructional/operational information as required.
• Prepare preliminary sketches or diagrams reflecting basic design concept.
  
  Makes mathematical calculations and adjustments in drawings and specifications.
• Recommends changes or modifications as appropriate to meet manufacturability, functionality and measurability requirements.
• Prepares and oversees final layout, detail, assembly drawings, and other required documentation.
• Creates computer models of the product design concept
• Generates and maintains organized database and/or B.O.M., change reports and/or other documentation.
• Prepares and maintains schedule estimates
• Good verbal and written communication skills, which includes ability in writing technical documents.
• Self‑starter, team player, multi‑tasking with good time management skills and the ability to function across organizational boundaries.
• Provide support to manufacturing and quality organization on customer and production issues as necessary.
