• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs).
• Support new product development from concept through production.
• Review customer specifications and ensure design compliance.
• Evaluate materials and components for performance and manufacturability.

• Provide technical support to Manufacturing, Production, and Quality.
• Troubleshoot product and manufacturing issues.
• Implement engineering change requests and design revisions.
• Participate in design reviews and prototype builds.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives.

• Maintain engineering drawings and revision records.
• Ensure compliance with customer requirements and applicable standards.
• Support document control and engineering change processes.
• Develop work instructions and assembly documentation.
• Participate in validation and verification activities.

• Coordinate engineering tasks to meet project schedules.
• Collaborate with Purchasing and suppliers on technical matters.
• Support Project Managers during execution.
• Identify cost reduction and value engineering opportunities.
• Communicate technical updates to stakeholders.

• Work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Sales, and Operations.
• Assist with training on new products and design changes.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes.
• Support customer visits and factory acceptance testing when required.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
• Experience with electrical distribution equipment or industrial products preferred.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar CAD software.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems preferred.
• Strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment and occasionally lift up to 25 pounds.

Level Expectations

Mechanical Engineer I

• Typically 0–3 years of mechanical design or related engineering experience; exposure to electrical distribution equipment manufacturing preferred.
• Supports component design, CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and engineering changes with guidance from experienced engineers.
• Assists with production troubleshooting, prototype builds, design reviews, and validation activities.
• Works with Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to resolve assigned technical issues and maintain accurate documentation.

Mechanical Engineer II

• Typically 5 years of mechanical design experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Independently completes assigned product design, drawing, BOM, and engineering change work within established processes.
• Troubleshoots product and manufacturing issues and participates in design reviews, prototype builds, and validation activities.
• Coordinates assigned engineering tasks and works cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Production, and Project Management.

Mechanical Engineer III

• Typically 7 years of progressive mechanical design experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Independently leads complex product design and development work from concept through production, including technical decisions, drawings, BOMs, and design revisions.
• Leads or provides technical direction during design reviews, troubleshooting, validation, and continuous improvement efforts.
• Serves as a technical resource to other engineers and cross-functional teams and may mentor less-experienced engineers.
• Takes greater ownership of project coordination, technical risk, manufacturability, cost reduction, and communication of technical updates to stakeholders.
