Job OverviewAs the Industrial Enclosures Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and delivering high-volume shipping-container-sized enclosures for power converters as part of a small, multidisciplinary engineering team. You will design a wide range of parts and assemblies using a first principles design approach. Your role will involve performing a variety of tasks, including CAD, analysis, prototyping, testing, and hands-on work. You will collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, test, and manufacturing engineers, as well as external suppliers. You will own your designs from concept through high-volume production.
How You Will Contribute- Design mass-manufacturable parts and assemblies for large industrial enclosures, structural plastics, electrical insulators, seals, welded joints, riveted joints, bolted joints, and adhesive joints
- Own parts and assemblies from initial concept to high volume production
- Design with a first principles approach, optimizing parts through analysis (e.g. structural, tolerance)
- Create 3D designs and 2D drawings using CATIA V6/3DX
- Perform hands-on work such as prototyping and testing
- Collaborate with different engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and reliability teams, as well as external partners and suppliers
What You Will BringWe have a short list of must-have requirements. We prioritize a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and a sense of initiative. Domain-specific knowledge and experience will help determine the career level for each hire.
Must-Have Requirements - Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or similar
- 5+ years of full-time industry experience designing outdoor-rated industrial enclosures for electromechanical parts or assemblies
- 5+ years of full-time industry experience working with 3D CAD (bonus if there is experience with CATIA V6/3DX)
- Strong engineering fundamentals including a basic understanding of electronics
- Experience with high volume manufacturing and processes such as sheet metal bending, stamping, injection molding, diecasting, extruding, fastening, riveting, welding, and dispensing
- Experience with ingress ratings and seals
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Nice-to-Haves- Experience with paintings and coatings
- Experience with composites
- Experience with PCBAs, connectors, fuses, and other electronic components
- Experience with FEA, CFD, multi-physics modeling, or associated software (Ansys, MATLAB, Python, Simulink, StarCCM, etc.)
- Experience with GD&T and tolerance analysis
- Experience with reliability and validation testing, as well as DFMEAs
- Experience with product lifecycle management (PLM) and controlled release processes
- Experience with medium voltage (34.5kV) or grid-related products, such as converters, switchgear, circuit breakers, insulation, and shielding
