Senior Electrical Engineer (Motor Controller Porting Specialist)

Core Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design for major subsystems (enclosures, thermal management, structural mounts) using SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM.
• Conduct FEA and CFD analysis to validate heat rejection, vibration response, and structural integrity for high-power avionics enclosures.
• Own and manage technical data packages (TDPs) for customer and internal programs, ensuring AS9100-compliant documentation and revision control.
• Collaborate with electrical engineering on packaging, connector placement, and thermal interface design for power electronics assemblies.
• Support prototype fabrication and first-article inspection, including GD&T callout definition and vendor communication.
• Drive design reviews (PDR, CDR) for mechanical subsystems, presenting analysis results and trade studies to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Mentor junior mechanical engineers and co-ops on design standards, simulation workflows, and documentation practices.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering, with a focus on electronic enclosures, thermal management, or electromechanical systems.
• Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings) and SolidWorks PDM or equivalent PLM system.
• Demonstrated experience with FEA (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or equivalent) for structural and thermal analysis.
• Strong command of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and mechanical drawing standards.
• Experience managing technical data packages in a configuration-controlled environment.
• BSME or equivalent; MSME preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing for aerospace or defense applications with DO-160 or MIL-STD environmental qualification.
• CFD analysis experience (ANSYS Fluent, FloTHERM, or equivalent) for forced-air and liquid cooling systems.
• Familiarity with AS9100 design control and document release processes.
• Experience with DFM/DFA for sheet metal, CNC machining, and injection molding.
