Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Summary

The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the independent design, development, and optimization of transformers and related components. This role involves applying well-established expertise to complete tasks and projects with minimal supervision, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and occasionally mentoring less experienced engineers.

Responsibilities

• Independently design and develop transformers and related components, ensuring compliance with industry standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, CSA) and customer specifications.
• Conduct engineering analyses to optimize product performance, cost, and efficiency.
• Perform detailed failure analysis on design-related issues, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions to improve product quality and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, quality assurance, supply chain, sales, and customer service to ensure successful integration of designs into production.
• Participate in design reviews to provide technical input and ensure that designs meet project and customer requirements.
• Prepare and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and technical reports.
• Stay current with industry trends and regulatory changes to ensure product designs remain competitive and compliant.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, promoting innovation and efficiency in the design process.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• More than 5 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering, with a focus on transformer or related product design.
• Proficiency with design and analysis tools, including mechanical and thermal analysis software (e.g., AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, FEA).
• Ability to interact with, maintain, and update ERP system data related to engineering processes.
• Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, CSA) and regulatory requirements (e.g. DOE) for transformers and related components.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills, capable of working in cross-functional teams.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
• Experience conducting failure analysis and implementing corrective actions for design-related issues.
