About the role

  • This role requires an agile, self-motivated professional who is comfortable navigating a fast-paced environment.
  • We look for passionate changemakers who balance extreme talent with self-awareness and humility.
  • Why Work Here Innovate at Speed: Thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where your ideas actually matter.

Responsibilities

  • Mechanical Architecture & Cabinet Design: Lead the physical packaging and structural design of multi-MW, industrial-grade cabinets and utility enclosures, including IP-rated and outdoor-rated power equipment.
  • Drive comprehensive trade studies on design, architecture, materials, and manufacturing processes.
  • Thermal Management & Multi-Physics Simulation: Design, model, simulate, and implement advanced thermal dissipation systems (forced-convection air and liquid cooling, including cold plates, thermal interface materials, and optimized airflow paths).
  • Power Stacks & Electro-Mechanical Integration: Design and pack high-density electronic assemblies, PCBA interfaces, custom magnetic components, insulators, heavy-duty busbars, and high-voltage/high-current connectors.
  • Documentation & PLM Releases: Create detailed 3D CAD models and professional 2D drawings utilizing Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Perform tolerance stack-up analyses.
  • Assist with engineering documentation, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and help manage engineering change orders (ECOs) through PLM systems.
  • FMEA, Validation, & DVP&R: Participate in mechanical Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) activities.
  • Prototype Development & Lab Testing: Physical prototype fabrication, electro-mechanical assembly, custom test-rig setup, and hands-on mechanical testing of new designs.
  • Support root-cause analysis of pilot or production failures and drive iterative hardware revisions.

Requirements

  • You must be highly organized, an excellent communicator, and capable of operating with complete discretion.
  • Familiarity with structural finite element analysis, thermal computational fluid dynamics, vibration, and fatigue assessments.
  • Expert-level proficiency in CAD modeling software, including 3DEXPERIENCE (CATIA V5/V6), SolidWorks, NX, or Creo.
  • Demonstrated experience in designing and packaging for injection molding, die casting, extrusion, and sheet metal forming.
  • Working knowledge of metals (aluminum, steel), engineering plastics, ceramics, structural insulators, gaskets, and potting compounds.
  • Familiarity with the documentation, testing, and design integration required to meet international regulatory standards (e.g., UL, IEC, NFPA, ISO, etc.).
  • High proficiency in modern PLM databases (e.g., 3DEXPERIENCE, Windchill, etc.) to manage configurations, CAD assemblies, BOMs, and multi-site manufacturing releases.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field (PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering is a plus).
