Mechanical Design Engineer - Medium voltage

I’m recruiting on behalf of an established manufacturer that develops customised electrical power and energy-management systems for industrial, telecommunications, medical, IT and mission-critical environments.

The business designs and builds equipment such as UPS systems, rectifiers, inverters, battery chargers and power-distribution solutions.

They are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer who can take responsibility for the physical design of electrical equipment, including cabinets, enclosures and internal component layouts.

The role will involve:

• Designing sheet metal enclosures, panels, brackets, frames and supporting components
• Creating detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using Solid Works
• Planning the layout of electrical components inside cabinets and assemblies
• Working with electrical engineers to understand schematics and design requirements
• Producing Bills of Material, general arrangement drawings and assembly documentation
• Supporting fabrication partners and manufacturing teams through the build process
• Investigating and resolving design, assembly and production issues
• Contributing to new product development and improvements to existing designs
• Reviewing designs against UL, CSA and IEC standards
• Providing technical support to wider engineering, service and commercial teams when required

The ideal background:

• Three or more years of mechanical design experience
• Strong Solid Works capability
• Hands-on experience designing sheet metal products, cabinets or electrical enclosures
• Experience working on equipment designed for manufacture
• Ability to read and understand electrical drawings and schematics
• Exposure to medium-voltage equipment, switch gear, transformers, power distribution or power-conversion products
• Experience producing manufacturing drawings, documentation and BOMs

Candidates from switch gear, UPS, power-distribution, electrical equipment or industrial manufacturing backgrounds would be particularly relevant but not necessary.

This is a strong opportunity to join a technically focused engineering team working on customised products from concept through to manufacture and testing.
