Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop comprehensive mechanical designs for switchboard enclosures, busbars, and structural components, utilizing advanced CAD (SolidWorks PDM) software to create detailed 2D and 3D models.
• Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes for all components, considering cost-effectiveness, performance requirements, and industry best practices.
• Employ simulation and analysis tools to optimize designs for superior performance, reliability, and thermal management.
• Lead the mechanical design process to strictly comply with relevant industry standards and regulations (ANSI, IEEE, IEC, local codes).
• Ensure that switchboard design complies with relevant design practices, electrical codes, and safety standards such as UL891, UL67, UL508A, UL50, the National Electric Code (NEC), ANSI, IEEE, IEC.
• National Electrical Code (NEC 2008-2020), NYNEC, UL 891, UL67, UL 50, UL 508a in product development
• Collaborate closely with electrical engineers, design teams, and project managers to achieve project objectives seamlessly.
• Verify switchboard designs meet stringent mechanical performance and safety standards (e.g., UL, NEC).
• Investigate and resolve any mechanical quality issues or non-conformities identified during production or in the field.
• Generate comprehensive engineering documentation, including detailed mechanical specifications, bills of materials (BOMs), and user-friendly technical manuals.
• Maintain accurate records of all design changes, revisions, and updates.
• Actively monitor project budgets and identify cost-saving opportunities through design optimization without compromising quality or safety.
