Mechanical Design Engineer

Overview

Design and analyze mechanical systems for seismic qualification of HVDC equipment.

Key Responsibilities

• seismic analysis
• fea modeling
• fastener specification
• design documentation
• dfm integration
• lab coordination

Tasks

The purpose of the role is to design, analyze, and support testing of mechanical systems and structures for our HVDC Valve products that must meet stringent seismic and structural requirements. You will perform seismic qualification analyses (e.g., response spectrum, time-history analysis) in accordance with standards such as IEEE 693, ASCE 7. Evaluate and specify fasteners, supports, damping materials, and anchorage systems for seismic performance You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including electrical engineers, cooling engineers, and external compliance experts to ensure that our products are robust, compliant, and manufacturable. Maintain accurate documentation of designs, test results, and engineering change orders. Work with manufacturing, site and quality teams to ensure DFM (Design for Manufacture) and structural integrity during installation. Work with the team to prepare documentation packages for seismic certification through testing or analysis (including FEA and shake table test coordination). Work with the team to prepare documentation packages for seismic certification through testing or analysis (including FEA and shake table test coordination). Collaborate with third-party labs for seismic testing and certification. Collaborate with third-party labs for seismic testing and certification. Evaluate and specify fasteners, supports, damping materials, and anchorage systems for seismic performance. Support structural analysis and design reviews for compliance with regional and global seismic codes.
