About The Position

BorgWarner is hiring a Senior Mechanical CAD (MCAD) Designer for its Industrial Power Solutions team in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The designer will own mechanical CAD design from top-level assemblies through detailed components and complex tooled parts, driving clean-sheet designs from concept through production. The work includes creating large, detailed MCAD models and building robust geometry efficiently to enable 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 operates with lean processes tailored to customer needs, supporting quick decisions and project progress. Typical design cycles are around one year. The role includes creating 3D CAD models and 2D drawings in NX, applying GD&T, and conducting peer-level and executive-level design reviews. The designer will also mentor junior designers and organize work to meet project milestones. The position adheres to BorgWarner’s Global Star Safety Program and local safety policies. This is 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 designing and releasing high-voltage bus bars, sheet metal, machined, injection-molded, and cast-metal parts.
Strong engineering foundation and ability to solve problems quickly with limited information while meeting project timelines.
Proficiency in 3D CAD, with at least 5 years of on-the-job experience.
Proficiency in 2D drafting, with at least 5 years of on-the-job experience.
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

At least 10 years of experience designing and releasing high-voltage bus bars, sheet metal, machined, injection-molded, and cast-metal parts.
Experience in mechanical design related to power electronics, particularly high-power inverters for industrial applications.
Expert-level NX skills, 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, taking swift action when required and communicating recovery strategies when challenges arise.
Create blank-sheet MCAD designs for industrial power systems products, including inverters, power supply units, and DC/DC converters.
Create blank-sheet MCAD designs for components including cast housings, isolation systems, high-voltage 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 prevent accidents and illnesses, and report injuries or potentially dangerous situations to the immediate supervisor.
