The successful candidate will work closely with Mechanical Engineers, Structural Engineers, Manufacturing, and Product Development teams to transform concepts into production-ready designs.
The ideal candidate has experience designing skid-mounted systems, E-Houses, modular buildings, battery energy storage systems (BESS), shipping container modifications, or other large industrial assemblies.
Roles and ResponsibilitiesThe Designer will support the goals and programs established by the management team. These roles and responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies using SolidWorks and/or Creo.
- Create fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, weldment drawings, and manufacturing packages.
- Prepare detailed equipment layouts for modular and containerized data center systems.
- Design structural framing, equipment supports, mounting arrangements, cable tray supports, access platforms, and mechanical integration features.
- Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and drawing packages.
- Support engineering teams with concept modeling and design development activities.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and fabrication teams to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable, and cost-effective.
- Support prototype build and manufacturing activities by resolving design issues and implementing design improvements.
- Prepare engineering change documentation and drawing revisions.
- Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback into released designs.
- Develop components, assembly, and installation drawings in accordance with company drafting standards.
- Ensure compliance with applicable drafting, GD&T, fabrication, and manufacturing standards.
- Support value engineering and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Assist with physical measurements, prototype evaluations, and fit-up verification activities.
- Develop designs that consider transportation, lifting, installation, and field service requirements.
- Coordinate with multiple disciplines to ensure accurate integration of mechanical, structural, electrical, and cooling equipment within modular platforms.
Qualifications and Experience- Associate's Degree, Technical Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Drafting, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical design or product design.
- Advanced proficiency with SolidWorks and/or Creo.
- Experience creating detailed fabrication and manufacturing drawings.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T and engineering drawing standards.
- Experience developing large assemblies and complex equipment layouts.
- Experience with weldments, sheet metal, structural members, and fabricated assemblies.
- Familiarity with manufacturing, machining, welding, fabrication, and assembly processes.
- Proficiency creating and managing Bills of Materials (BOMs).
- Strong attention to detail and drawing accuracy.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Candidates must be able to legally work and reside in the US without sponsorship.
