Description
The Role
We're looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to lead design for our configure-to-order metering enclosure line. That line includes primary metering pad-mount cabinets, transockets, transformer-rated meter sockets, CT cabinets, VT pack sockets and test switches.
You'll take utility specs and customer drawings and turn them into enclosure designs we can build, then carry each order from the first proposal drawing to release on the shop floor. You'll work every day with customers, sales, fabrication, assembly and quality to ship configured products on a 2-to-4-week lead time. You'll also give technical direction to the CTO engineering team.
What You'll Do
• Review utility specifications and customer requests, and define the enclosure, bus work and wiring setup for each order
• Create proposal and quote drawings in SolidWorks and revise them until the customer approves
• Produce fabrication drawings, flat patterns, weldments, wiring diagrams and customer submittal drawings
• Provide drawings of configurable Meter Sockets Test Switch Vt Boxes Transockets VT/Transockets
• Design new custom or standard products to sales for customer approval
• Make PDFs/DXFs/ STPs of all new files as required
• Build and release BOMs and routings in Infor VISUAL, and manage part numbers and revisions in SolidWorks PDM
• Maintain parametric master models, configurations and design tables for each product family
• Design Sheet Metal, Machined & Molded components and assemblies that can be manufactured at internally in our machine or metal shop
• Lead design of 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV primary metering pad-mount cabinets to IEEE C57.12.28 and IEEE 386
• Process engineering change orders and do first-article reviews with fabrication and quality
• Maintain UL 414 listing files and support UL follow-up inspections
• Support sales with configuration reviews, cost estimates and lead-time commitments, and join customer calls and site visits when needed
• Review other engineers' and designers' drawings, mentor the team, and document our design standards
• Lead the team in using approved AI tools for spec review, drawing and BOM checks, design automation and documentation
What You Bring
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field
• 8+ years designing sheet-metal electrical enclosures, switchgear, meter sockets, service-entrance equipment or similar outdoor utility products
• 5+ years in SolidWorks, including sheet metal, weldments, configurations and design tables
• 2+ years in SolidWorks PDM or a similar vault with formal revision control
• Experience preparing proposal and submittal drawings for customer approval
• Experience releasing BOMs and routings in a manufacturing ERP
• Strong knowledge of sheet-metal and aluminum materials and shop processes (laser, turret punch, press brake, welding, PEM hardware, powder coat)
• Working knowledge of UL 414, UL 50/50E, NEMA 250, ANSI C12.7, ANSI C12.9 and NEC Article 230
• Ability to read utility metering specs, EUSERC drawings, one-lines and wiring diagrams
• Bus work design experience (ampacity, clearances, torque, short-circuit bracing)
• Clear communication. You can explain design options and trade-offs to utility engineers and sales in plain terms.
• Ability to manage several orders at once against committed lead times, with close attention to detail
What you'll Get:
• Equal Employment Opportunity
• Pay and Performance Reviews
• Full HSA medical plan, vision plan, dental plan, and prescription plan
• 401(k) retirement plan with match
• PTO days
• Nine holidays per year
• Long and short term disability, and term life insurance
• Tuition Assistance
• Discounted Gym membership
