Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer

Description

• Develop project-specific designs that balance technical requirements, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Mentoring and providing guidance to junior engineers and designers, fostering skill development within the team.
• Prepare high-quality documentation, including fabrication-level drawings and assembly instructions.
• Reviewing designs to maintain accuracy, quality, and compliance with industry guidelines, such as IEEE/ANSI C37.20 and UL 891/1558.
• Designing and customizing mechanical solutions to meet client-specific requirements, focusing on manufacturability and compliance with industry and internal standards.
• Act as a point of contact for technical inquiries during fabrication and installation.
• Facilitate communication and collaboration across multiple engineering and manufacturing sites to align expectations and processes.
• Assisting in identifying and addressing project challenges, ensuring alignment with timelines and client expectations.
• Collaborating with clients, project managers, and internal teams to ensure designs are aligned with project goals and timelines.
• Drive workflow templating and automation initiatives to increase project throughput and reduce errors.
• Provide constructive feedback during peer reviews to improve the team's technical output.
• Partner with the Lead Engineer, manufacturing engineers, and fabrication teams to refine designs for manufacturability.
• Assist in training junior team members in best practices for 3D SolidWorks modeling, 2D AutoCAD drafting, and compliance with design standards.
• Providing technical support during manufacturing and installation phases to ensure seamless execution.
• Identify and address discrepancies in BOMs promptly to minimize delays and errors during production.
• Performing advanced 3D modeling and creating detailed 2D drawings, including client coordination drawings and fabrication documentation.
• Conducting peer reviews of designs to ensure high-quality deliverables and compliance with engineering standards.

Requirements
