About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer, DC Power develops the mechanical product design and system integration content within technical customer proposals for Vertiv's Modular Power Converters product line. This role works under the direction of the Project Proposals & Global Engineering Lead, producing product design layouts with tolerance analysis, system assembly and integration documentation, connection/interface definitions, and manufacturing/assembly considerations. A key responsibility is ensuring proposed designs are buildable, properly toleranced, and aligned with customer requirements.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
2+ years of experience in mechanical product design, system integration, or product engineering
Experience with product layout drawings, assembly documentation, and tolerance stack-up analysis
Proficiency in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) for multi-component assemblies
Experience defining assembly sequences, mechanical interfaces, and connection specifications
Understanding of assembly processes, tooling, and DFM/DFA principles
Ability to produce clear, customer-ready specification and integration documents
Proficiency with Creo (preferred), SolidWorks, or equivalent for product layouts and assembly documentation
Experience with BOM maintenance MRP programs (Oracle Cloud) and lifecycle PLM vaults (Agile, Windchill)

Nice To Haves

Experience in telecom or data center power equipment design
Familiarity with modular/hot-swappable product architectures
Experience with tolerance analysis software (Vis VSA, 3DCS, or manual stack-up methods)
Knowledge of sheet metal fabrication processes and tolerances
Experience with seismic qualification (GR-63, Zone 4)
Previous proposal, bid, or design engineering role
Familiarity with rack-mount and floor-standing power equipment interfaces
Experience coordinating with manufacturing/production engineering teams

Responsibilities

Develop product design layout drawings for customer packages - module arrangements, shelf configurations, and cabinet assemblies
Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to verify fit, form, and function across mating components and assemblies
Define system assembly sequences and integration procedures for modular DC power configurations
Document all mechanical connections and interfaces - power bus, signal cable routing, cooling interfaces, grounding paths, and mating sequences
Create site fit documentation - physical footprint, clearance requirements, and interface dimensions with customer infrastructure
Coordinate with DFM Engineer on manufacturability of proposed configurations and assembly processes
Review project designs (mechanical) under Proposals Lead for accuracy to customer site expectations
Verify requirements traceability - ensure every customer mechanical requirement has a corresponding specification response
Collaborate with team to ensure mechanical and electrical package content is consistent
