Key ResponsibilitiesMechanical System Design & Technical Leadership- Lead mechanical system architecture and design for complex modular power and industrial systems.
- Develop and review mechanical designs for generator enclosures, structural frames, equipment skids, sheet metal assemblies, weldments, and integrated mechanical systems.
- Design and integrate generators, cooling systems, fuel systems, piping, exhaust systems, and associated mechanical equipment.
- Perform and review engineering calculations involving structural loads, stress, deflection, vibration, fatigue, thermal performance, and fluid systems.
- Perform and validate finite element analysis (FEA) on structural frames, welded assemblies, lifting structures, and equipment supports.
- Establish technical direction and provide guidance on complex or first-of-kind mechanical designs.
- Lead design reviews and resolve high-level technical issues across multiple projects.
Structural, Thermal & Mechanical Integration- Evaluate structural designs for operational, lifting, transportation, wind, seismic, and other applicable loading conditions.
- Develop mechanical layouts supporting equipment integration, service access, thermal management, and manufacturability.
- Support cooling system design, airflow analysis, heat rejection, and thermal management for generator systems, BESS, and modular infrastructure.
- Collaborate with Electrical and Structural Engineering teams on equipment interfaces, system requirements, and integration challenges.
- Support mechanical testing, design validation, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations.
- Provide technical support to manufacturing, integration, field service, and customers.
Manufacturing & Product Development- Ensure mechanical designs are manufacturable, serviceable, safe, and aligned with customer requirements.
- Work closely with Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Program Management, and Operations.
- Support prototype builds, production launches, design changes, and continuous product improvement.
- Develop and maintain production-ready mechanical drawings, engineering calculations, BOMs, specifications, and design documentation.
- Provide technical guidance on fabrication, welding, machining, assembly, and mechanical integration.
- Resolve complex manufacturing and product performance issues through engineering analysis and practical design solutions.
Mentorship & Engineering Excellence- Mentor Senior and Mechanical Engineers and provide technical review of engineering work.
- Help establish mechanical engineering standards, calculation methods, design guidelines, documentation practices, and validation methodologies.
- Serve as a technical resource for complex customer, certification, manufacturing, and field issues.
- Lead technical design reviews and provide guidance on engineering assumptions, analytical methods, and design decisions.
- Identify opportunities to improve design quality, efficiency, reliability, and repeatability across programs.
QualificationsRequired Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 12+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience, preferably in industrial equipment, power generation, modular systems, or custom manufacturing.
- Demonstrated experience leading complex mechanical designs from concept through manufacturing and production, including collaboration with fabrication and assembly teams.
- Strong experience designing fabricated steel structures, industrial enclosures, equipment skids, weldments, or integrated mechanical systems.
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including large assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, and manufacturing documentation.
- Strong experience performing mechanical engineering calculations, structural analysis, and FEA.
- Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems, lead design reviews, and mentor engineers.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with generator systems, BESS, modular data centers, or mission-critical power infrastructure.
- Experience with thermal management, airflow, cooling systems, or fluid system design.
- Familiarity with ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or similar engineering analysis tools.
- Knowledge of applicable ASME, AISC, UL, or related engineering standards.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or FE/EIT certification.
