Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the mechanical design and development of transformers and related electrical power equipment for custom-engineered customer projects. AMSC’s equipment is primarily engineered to meet project-specific customer requirements rather than produced as standard, repetitive products. This position develops mechanical designs for transformer tanks, cores and clamping structures, winding assemblies, bus and connection systems, enclosures, piping systems, control cabinets, and other associated components.

The role utilizes Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and other engineering tools to develop 3D models, equipment layouts, manufacturing drawings, and supporting technical documentation. The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will work to ensure designs meet customer specifications, applicable industry standards, manufacturing requirements, and project objectives.

• Develop mechanical designs for custom-engineered transformer and power equipment projects based on customer specifications, application requirements, and project-specific design criteria.
• Review customer specifications and technical requirements and translate them into mechanical designs appropriate for each project.
• Create and maintain 3D models, detailed part drawings, assembly drawings, equipment layouts, installation drawings, schematics, flow diagrams, and other manufacturing documentation.
• Develop mechanical equipment layouts and interfaces while considering electrical clearances, structural requirements, accessibility, manufacturability, serviceability, and overall equipment configuration.
• Design transformer tanks, structural components, core and clamping assemblies, winding support structures, bus and connection systems, enclosures, piping, cooling systems, and other mechanical components.
• Define and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation required to support procurement and manufacturing for assigned projects.
• Prepare drawings, specifications, and technical documentation required for the manufacture and purchase of custom components and assemblies.
• Collaborate closely with Electrical and Project Engineering throughout project execution to ensure mechanical designs support electrical, thermal, insulation, dimensional, and customer requirements.
• Perform mechanical design calculations and engineering evaluations as required to validate project designs and component selections.
• Balance customer-specific engineering requirements with existing designs and standardization opportunities to improve quality, manufacturability, cost, and project delivery.
• Revise and adapt existing designs, drawings, models, and documentation to meet the unique requirements of individual customer projects.
• Provide engineering support to Manufacturing by troubleshooting project-specific design issues and developing practical solutions to production challenges.
• Participate in project and design reviews and provide technical input throughout design, manufacturing, testing, and project execution.
• Interface with customers and suppliers regarding mechanical design requirements, technical questions, design changes, and project-specific issues as needed.
• Develop and process Engineering Change Notices/Orders and ensure drawings and related project documentation are properly released and controlled.
• When assigned as the technical lead on a project, coordinate mechanical design activities and provide technical direction to designers,…
