Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer will lead end-to-end mechanical design efforts for innovative power generation and power distribution products, with a strong focus on new product development for data centers and microgrids. This role combines detailed 3D/2D design work, design-for-manufacturing collaboration, and client-facing technical support, enabling full product life cycle ownership from concept through commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Perform detailed mechanical design using Solid Works, including the creation of 3D models, 2D drawings, schematics, finite element analyses (FEAs), engineering calculations, and testing documentation.
• Develop assembly drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and design change documentation to support manufacturing and product lifecycle management.
• Ensure all mechanical designs meet applicable specifications, standards, safety requirements, and project scope, maintaining high quality and reliability.
• Lead mechanical design efforts on assigned projects, taking ownership of technical solutions and providing guidance to other engineers and designers.
• Review, check, and approve mechanical designs and drawing libraries to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with engineering best practices.
• Identify mechanical and technical risks early in the design process and communicate them clearly to engineering leadership for mitigation.
• Coordinate closely with operations, manufacturing, production engineering, and other departments to ensure design-for-manufacturing principles are applied and information flows smoothly.
• Support onsite customer technical needs, including troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and resolution of mechanical issues in the field.
• Select mechanical components and parts with careful consideration for cost, availability, and lifecycle factors such as obsolescence and long-term support.
• Track design-related costs as projects progress and report status and variances to engineering and project management stakeholders.
• Contribute to new product development efforts in power generation and power distribution, helping to expand product lines and support organic growth.
• Provide client-facing engineering support, including participation in commissioning activities and service-related engagements when required.
• Manage a project load of approximately one to two concurrent projects, maintaining schedules, deliverables, and design quality.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience as a mechanical engineer in a manufacturing environment.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Solid Works for 3D modeling and 2D drafting.
• Strong proficiency with AutoCAD for mechanical drawings and documentation.
• Expertise in new product development and mechanical design in power generation applications.
• Experience with power distribution systems and protective relay-related mechanical design considerations.
• Ability to perform and interpret FEAs, engineering calculations, and testing documentation for mechanical components and assemblies.
• Demonstrated experience designing for manufacturing and collaborating with production and operations teams.
• Ability to lead mechanical design efforts and review, check, and approve mechanical drawings and libraries.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for troubleshooting and root cause analysis in the field.
• Capability to track and report design costs and project status to engineering and project management.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience supporting mechanical designs for data centers, including modular data center solutions.
• Experience in microgrid-related mechanical design and integration.
• Familiarity with mechanical considerations for power generation and power distribution equipment in industrial environments.
• Comfort in client-facing roles, including onsite technical support and participation in commissioning activities.
• Ability to balance work across office and shop environments, adapting to different phases of the design and build process.
• Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and clear risk and status reporting.
• Interest in full product life cycle engineering, from…
