Senior Mechanical Design and Development Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design and Development Engineer

Location: Rincon, GA

Reports To: Engineering Manager

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer II with 4–6 years of experience to support the design and execution of transformer products in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.

This role requires strong technical capability, hands‑on problem solving, and the ability to lead design projects from concept through production. You will work cross‑functionally with manufacturing, quality, and production teams to ensure designs are robust, manufacturable, and delivered on time.

• Lead mechanical design projects for transformer components and assemblies from concept through production
• Develop detailed designs, layouts, and drawings using CAD tools
• Perform engineering calculations including stress, thermal, structural, and tolerance analysis
• Design and support development of tools, fixtures, and manufacturing aids to improve production efficiency and quality
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are optimized for fabrication and assembly
• Troubleshoot design and production issues, providing rapid and effective solutions on the shop floor
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives related to product design, cost reduction, and manufacturability
• Review and validate engineering drawings, specifications, and bills of materials
• Support prototype builds, testing, and validation activities
• Ensure compliance with internal standards, customer specifications, and industry requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 4–6 years of experience in mechanical design within a manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering projects from concept through execution
• Strong experience working directly with manufacturing teams and shop floor operations
• Proficiency in CAD software (Solid Works, AutoCAD, or similar)
• Experience performing engineering calculations (structural, thermal, mechanical)
• Hands‑on experience designing tools, fixtures, and production equipment
• Strong understanding of fabrication processes (welding, machining, assembly)
• Ability to troubleshoot and solve complex technical problems in a fast‑paced environment

• Experience in transformer, power systems, or heavy industrial equipment manufacturing
• Knowledge of materials, insulation systems, and high‑voltage equipment design
• Familiarity with ERP/PDM systems
• Experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles

• Designs are delivered on time, accurate, and manufacturable
• Strong collaboration with production results in reduced rework and improved throughput
• Tools and fixtures improve efficiency, safety, and quality on the shop floor
• Engineering solutions are practical, cost‑effective, and scalable
