Senior Mechanical Engineer – Low Voltage Switchgear, Switchboards

Role Overview

• Lead mechanical design of low-voltage switchgear and switchboard assemblies, including enclosures, structural frames, barriers, cable management, lifting provisions, ventilation, and service access
• Develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and assemblies using SolidWorks; maintain complete manufacturing documentation packages including BOMs, fabrication drawings, and revision control
• Support large-frame lineup configuration, shipping splits, installation interfaces, alignment, and maintainability for high-current systems (1200A–6000A class)
• Collaborate with Electrical Engineering to ensure mechanical layouts support bus, breakers, cable entry, metering, safety, and code compliance
• Lead DFM and DFA activities, including modularization, standardization, part reuse, and reduction of custom components
• Generate and manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), redlines, and deviation requests
• Support prototype builds, factory acceptance testing, UL documentation, and certification activities (heat rise, dielectric, functional testing)
• Mentor junior and mid-level mechanical engineers through design reviews, technical guidance, and standard work
• Partner with suppliers and fabricators on sheet metal, machining, welding, painting, gasketing, and assembly processes
• Provide shop-floor support, participate in root-cause analysis, and drive corrective actions for build and quality issues
• Support continuous improvement of mechanical design standards, documentation practices, and release processes
• Participate in cross-functional design reviews and risk assessments
• Support field feedback, serviceability improvements, and product lifecycle enhancements
• Assist with MRB activities and nonconformance disposition when required.

Requirements
