Responsibilities

• Execute and support the configuration and customization of mechanical designs to meet project- and customer-specific requirements.
• Provide maintenance of line (MOL) support for operational teams across the business.
• Perform advanced 3D modeling and create detailed 2D drawings, including customer coordination drawings, fabrication drawings, and assembly documentation.
• Maintain and update bills of materials (BOMs), ensuring alignment with released designs and manufacturing standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including project managers, R&D engineering, manufacturing, manufacturing engineers and quality, to ensure designs meet functional, schedule, and cost targets.
• Optimizing and configuring the custom designs of mechanical solutions to meet client-specific requirements, focusing on manufacturability and compliance with industry and internal standards.
• Reviewing designs to maintain accuracy, quality, and compliance with industry guidelines, and UL 891/1558.
• Incorporate manufacturing, testing, field, and installation feedback into design updates and product refinements.
• Contribute to peer reviews of designs to ensure high-quality deliverables and compliance with engineering standards.
• Assisting in identifying and addressing project challenges, ensuring alignment with timelines and client expectations.
• Apply established system-level configuration strategies and modules that balance technical requirements, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Translate product requirements into engineering system specifications and technical documentation.
• Support prototyping, testing, validation, and product launches of system configurations.
• Prepare high-quality documentation, including fabrication-level drawings and assembly instructions.
• Design and refine mechanical components and assemblies.
• Identify and address discrepancies in BOMs promptly to minimize delays and errors during production.
• Analyze field and quality data to drive product improvements.
• Contribute to workflow templating and automation initiatives to increase project throughput and reduce errors.
• Provide informal guidance and technical support to junior engineers and designers.
• Share best practices related to 3D modeling, drafting standards, fabrication methods and documentation quality.
• Participate in peer reviews to improve overall team output and consistency.
• Work closely with the senior engineers, lead engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers and fabrication teams to refine designs for manufacturability.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders across engineering and manufacturing locations to support project execution.
• Communicate design intent, assumptions, and changes clearly to relevant teams.
