Mechanical Designer We are seeking a Mechanical Designer with demonstrated experience in power distribution to design and develop mechanical components and enclosures for electrical equipment. The role focuses on creating manufacturable 3D models, detailed drawings and production documentation while ensuring compliance with industry and safety requirements. The Mechanical Designer will collaborate closely with electrical engineers, manufacturing and suppliers to support prototyping, certification and production readiness. Key Responsibilities Design and develop mechanical components, enclosures and assemblies for power distribution equipment to meet electrical and thermal requirements. Create and maintain detailed 3D models and drawings suitable for manufacturing, assembly and quality control. Translate electrical layouts into mechanical enclosures and ensure adequate clearances, mounting and routing for wiring and components. Prepare production documentation including bills of materials (BOMs), manufacturing drawings, sheet metal flat patterns, and assembly instructions. Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure parts meet functional and assembly requirements. Collaborate with electrical engineers, test engineers and suppliers to resolve design issues and drive manufacturability improvements. Support UL and other certification processes by providing required documentation and design changes to meet standards. Assist with prototyping, build support and design verification activities, including participating in design reviews and field tests. Maintain and revise engineering documentation, manage revision control and support change management processes. Provide technical input for supplier selection, cost estimates and production transfer activities. Qualifications Associate or Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design Technology or related technical discipline, or equivalent experience. Minimum 3 years of mechanical design experience, preferably working on power distribution products or electrical enclosures. Demonstrated experience with power distribution equipment and understanding of electrical/mechanical interface requirements. Proven ability to produce detailed 3D models and manufacturing drawings; experience with SolidWorks is a strong plus. Familiarity with AutoCAD Electrical for coordinating electrical layouts is desirable. Experience designing electrical enclosures and sheet metal components, including flat patterns and fabrication considerations. Working knowledge of UL standards such as UL508A, UL67 and UL1008 is desirable and helpful for certification work. Competence applying GD&T and preparing precise assembly instructions and production documentation. Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) or Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) are nice-to-have credentials. Benefits Medical, dental, and vision insurance Paid time off 401k with company match
