Sr Mechanical Engineer
About The Position
Advanced Energy is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to design and develop mechanical systems for advanced power supply solutions. The role focuses on balancing performance, reliability, and cost across components such as enclosures, heatsinks, cable assemblies, and molded parts. The engineer will use thermal, acoustic, and vibration simulations, 3D board layouts, and hands-on prototype testing to develop robust products that meet customer needs and industry standards. The position works closely with hardware, electrical, and firmware engineers and program managers throughout product development, from concept through production. It also involves analyzing test data, supporting design reviews, investigating issues with existing products, and coordinating with internal departments to meet cost and schedule goals. The role is based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, in a standard office environment, with possible interaction in a production factory environment. Work may involve electronic equipment and high voltage. Some domestic and international travel may be required, including onsite technical support at customer locations.
