Senior Mechanical Engineer I
About The Position
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer I, you will lead the design and development of UL891 Switchboards, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Remote Power Panels (RPPs), and related mission-critical electrical power distribution products. You will transform product requirements into scalable, manufacturable, production-ready designs and serve as a key technical contributor across the product portfolio. The role drives mechanical design decisions and provides technical leadership to cross-functional teams. You will help ensure products meet quality, reliability, manufacturability, and customer requirements while supporting product growth. The position includes leading product development from concept through commercialization, mentoring teammates, and supporting continuous product improvement.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
- 5–8 years of experience in mechanical product design, development, and engineering execution.
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including complex assemblies, sheet metal design, and detailed drawing creation.
- Strong experience designing sheet metal enclosures, welded assemblies, and fabricated components.
- Experience leading mechanical design efforts through product development lifecycles.
- Strong understanding of mechanical integration within electrical products, industrial equipment, or similar engineered systems.
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes including laser cutting, punching, forming, welding, machining, and finishing operations.
- Experience performing tolerance analysis and design for manufacturability reviews.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills and a high attention to detail.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.
Nice To Haves
- Experience designing Switchboards, Switchgear, PDUs, RPPs, busway systems, or similar electrical infrastructure products.

- Familiarity with applicable UL, NEC, and related industry standards.
- Experience in mission-critical infrastructure, power distribution, data center, or industrial manufacturing environments.
- Experience with Product Data Management (PDM) systems and engineering revision control processes.
- Experience managing BOM structures within ERP environments.
- Prior experience mentoring engineers or leading technical project teams.
Responsibilities
- Lead design and development of mechanical enclosures, assemblies, and supporting hardware for Switchboards, PDUs, RPPs, and related power distribution equipment.
- Own mechanical design activities from concept generation through production release and ongoing product support.
- Create and review detailed 3D models, engineering drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs) using SolidWorks.
- Design sheet metal components and assemblies for manufacturability, cost, quality, and assembly efficiency (DFM/DFA).
- Partner with Electrical Engineering to integrate electrical components, cabling systems, thermal considerations, and mounting features into product solutions.
- Provide technical leadership during design reviews, prototype evaluations, and validation testing.
- Collaborate with fabrication and manufacturing partners to resolve design and manufacturability challenges.
- Lead root cause investigations related to design, product quality, field issues, or manufacturing concerns and implement corrective actions.
- Drive engineering change management and ensure design documentation remains accurate and compliant.
- Develop and maintain engineering standards, design best practices, and product design guidelines.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and engineering technicians.
- Support new product introduction activities, including prototype builds, pilot production, and manufacturing launch readiness.
- Contribute to product improvements focused on reliability, scalability, cost optimization, and performance.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
