Job Description

Job Description

We are a family-owned manufacturer with over 40 years of experience in the electrical power distribution industry. Our team designs and manufactures custom switchboard, enclosure, and power distribution solutions, working with products and systems from industry leaders such as Siemens and Schneider Electric.

We are seeking a motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to join our growing engineering team. In this role, you will work alongside experienced engineers to design custom products, develop manufacturing drawings, support production, and contribute to new and existing product development. This is an excellent opportunity for an entry to intermediate-level engineer looking to gain hands-on experience in design, manufacturing, and the electrical power distribution industry.

What We're Looking For

This is a highly hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on 3D modeling and drafting. Successful candidates will have experience creating parts, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using CAD software such as Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar platforms.

While engineering knowledge is important, the primary responsibility of this position is the design and development of products through 3D modeling and detailed drawing creation. Candidates with practical CAD experience and a strong mechanical aptitude are encouraged to apply.

Candidates who enjoy spending the majority of their time creating and refining 3D models and manufacturing drawings will be most successful in this role.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings in Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD for custom steel, copper, aluminum, and GPO-3/Glastic components used in power distribution equipment.
• Develop approval drawings for customer review
• Support the design of enclosures, retrofit trims, termination cabinets, cam-lock cabinets, and related products
• Collaborate with engineers on product development and continuous improvement projects
• Update and revise drawings based on production feedback
• Create and maintain wiring diagram components and standards
• Prepare and release engineering documentation for manufacturing
• Assist with modifications to standard switchboard designs, including bus systems, covers, dimensions, and electrical components
• Opportunity to receive training in CNC programming

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or related field preferred
• Required : Demonstrated experience creating 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar CAD software.
• Knowledge of sheet metal fabrication, materials, and manufacturing processes
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office
• Solid math skills, including arithmetic, geometry, and algebra
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
• Hands-on mechanical aptitude; electrical knowledge is a plus
• Experience in power distribution or electrical equipment design is a plus

Join a company where your ideas matter and where you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills while contributing to innovative products used by customers worldwide.
