About The Position

BorgWarner is seeking a Senior Mechanical CAD (MCAD) Designer for its Industrial Power Solutions team in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The role drives clean-sheet mechanical designs from concept through production and owns MCAD work ranging from top-level assemblies to detailed components and complex tooled parts. The designer creates large, detailed MCAD models, building robust geometry efficiently to support rapid iteration and design maturity. The Industrial Power Solutions team designs and manufactures hardware for industrial power systems, including grid-tied inverters, in-rack power supply units, and DC/DC converters. It works with lean processes and relatively short design cycles, typically around one year, in an agile environment that encourages quick decisions and close team engagement. The position includes mentoring junior designers, organizing work to meet project milestones, communicating recovery strategies when challenges arise, and conducting design reviews. The role must follow BorgWarner’s Global Star Safety Program and applicable local safety policies, including required safety practices, training, equipment, and reporting of injuries or potentially dangerous situations. The position is based in a hybrid work environment. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; visa sponsorship may be available based on business need.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Engineering Technologies.
At least 5 years of experience in the design and release of HV bus bar, sheet metal, machined, injection-molded, and cast metal parts.
Strong engineering foundation and ability to work with limited information to solve problems quickly and meet project timelines.
At least 5 years of on-the-job experience with 3D CAD.
At least 5 years of on-the-job experience with 2D drafting.
General understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
Currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.

Nice To Haves

Experience in mechanical design related to power electronics, especially high-power inverters for industrial applications.
Expert-level NX proficiency, at least 10 years of experience, and ability to rapidly create complex parts.
Ability to develop blank-sheet GD&T schemes for complex parts per ASME Y14.5.
Working knowledge of FEA and CFD.

Responsibilities

Own MCAD design and release of new products from project kick-off through production launch.
Mentor junior MCAD designers and provide technical guidance to team members as needed.
Organize and plan work to meet project milestones; communicate clear recovery strategies when challenges arise.
Create clean-sheet MCAD designs for industrial power system products, including inverters, power supply units, and DC/DC converters.
Create clean-sheet MCAD designs for components including cast housings, isolation systems, HV bus bars, harnesses, liquid-cooled heat sinks, PCB packages, and stampings.
Create expert-level 3D CAD models using NX.
Create 2D drafting sheets in NX and apply GD&T to communicate design intent.
Conduct peer-level and executive-level design reviews.
Follow the Global Star Safety Program and local safety policies, take reasonable precautions to protect self and coworkers, and report injuries or potentially dangerous situations.
