About The Position

Siemens Smart Infrastructure is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to support the PACS manufacturing facility in Wendell, North Carolina. This advanced individual-contributor role supports engineering execution for the SIPANEL Protection & Automation product line and develops manufacturing-ready mechanical designs for a made-to-order production environment. The engineer provides technical guidance to the design team through coaching, training plans, work instructions, design guidelines, and engineering-quality practices, without direct people-management responsibility. The role owns mechanical naming conventions and part-library governance and helps deploy integrated digital design tools, including NX X and Teamcenter X. It requires advanced 3D CAD capability, preferably Siemens NX, and experience with configuration management and manufacturing systems. The engineer works across engineering, production, systems engineering, quality, and external partners to turn customer and system requirements into controlled, production-ready design packages. The role reports to the PACS Design Engineering Manager. Flexible hours may occasionally be needed to support production schedules.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering field; equivalent practical experience may be considered where permitted.
At least 5 years of mechanical design engineering experience, including at least 3 years creating production-ready 3D models, assemblies, drawings, and bills of material in a complex engineered-to-order or made-to-order environment.
Advanced 3D CAD skills, including complex assembly modeling, design intent, drawing creation, tolerance application, and design for manufacturability.
At least 2 years of experience guiding, mentoring, or training engineers and creating technical work instructions, design standards, or structured training content.
At least 2 years of experience performing formal peer reviews or quality checks of engineering models, drawings, bills of material, and release documentation.
At least 2 years of experience with a PLM or product-data-management system and an ERP/MRP system, including controlled part, BOM, and order releases to production.
At least 2 years of experience managing engineering changes or order changes through documented workflows, including impact analysis and implementation tracking.
Experience using structured root cause analysis and reporting operational or engineering KPIs.
Ability to work in the United States without current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.

Nice To Haves

At least 7 years of mechanical design engineering experience in industrial control panels, electrical distribution equipment, automation systems, or a comparable configured manufacturing environment.
Advanced hands-on experience with Siemens NX, including large assemblies, reusable content, routing, or wiring-harness applications.
Hands-on experience with Siemens Teamcenter and participation in an NX X and/or Teamcenter X implementation, migration, integration, or adoption program.
At least 3 years of experience with SAP production release workflows and complex multi-level bills of material.
At least 2 years of experience with Salesforce engineering, order-management, case-management, or approval workflows.
Experience governing CAD naming conventions, part classifications, standard parts, and reusable mechanical libraries.
Experience with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical and knowledge of UL 508A panel-building standards.
Experience applying Lean or continuous-improvement methods to engineering cycle time, defects, rework, or release quality.

Responsibilities

Provide technical guidance, coaching, and structured knowledge transfer to mechanical design engineers without direct supervisory responsibility.
Create and maintain role-based training plans, work instructions, design checklists, and practical design guidelines.
Own mechanical naming conventions, CAD standards, reusable design content, and the governed mechanical part library in Teamcenter.
Lead peer design reviews and quality checks for 3D models, drawings, bills of material, release packages, and manufacturing documentation; document findings and drive closure.
Build and maintain high-fidelity Siemens NX 3D digital twins of PACS and SIPANEL assemblies, including layouts, assemblies, components, and manufacturing-ready drawings.
Manage mechanical bills of material end to end, including creation, validation, configuration control, and release of parts, assemblies, and orders to SAP production systems.
Create, coordinate, and manage order change notices and engineering change notices, including impact assessment, documentation, stakeholder alignment, implementation, and closure.
Lead engineering process activities for deployment and adoption of integrated design tools, including NX X and Teamcenter X, emphasizing data quality, migration readiness, workflows, user training, and standard work.
Use Salesforce workflows to coordinate engineering requests, approvals, status, and handoffs across the order lifecycle.
Partner with manufacturing teams to resolve build issues, clarify design intent, reduce rework, and improve manufacturability, material readiness, and schedule performance.
Perform structured root cause analysis for design, release, and build issues; define corrective and preventive actions and verify their effectiveness.
Define, report, and review engineering KPIs, including design quality, first-pass release quality, change volume, cycle time, backlog, rework, and training completion; improve data integrity and follow-through.
Support continuous improvement, automation, and digitalization initiatives that strengthen engineering quality, delivery, and cost performance while maintaining applicable safety and quality requirements.
