Mechanical Engineer III - Ehouse

Job Duties

Description:

Position Summary

The Mechanical Engineer III assists in leading the design and development of complex E House structures for switchgear and related support equipment. This role focuses on structural integrity, thermal performance, manufacturability, and cost optimization of E House designs, including consideration of environmental and seismic requirements. The position provides technical leadership across cross-functional teams and drives continuous improvement in design standards, processes, and product performance.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Leadership & Execution

• Assist in leading the design and development of E House structures and associated mechanical assemblies

• Ensure designs meet structural, thermal, environmental, and seismic requirements

• Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) to reduce fabrication complexity and assembly time

• Serve as the technical authority for E House-related design decisions and risk mitigation

Structural Design & Validation

• Apply advanced structural design principles to E House structures, including: framed structures and load-bearing systems, sheet metal and panelized assemblies, mounting, lifting, transportation, and anchoring systems

• Incorporate seismic design considerations, including load paths, anchoring, and structural reinforcement where required

• Perform or interpret analyses such as: structural/deflection analysis, thermal performance evaluations, load, transport, vibration, and seismic force considerations

• Validate designs through testing and simulation to ensure performance under real-world conditions

Manufacturing Integration & Cost Optimization

• Design E House structures optimized for fabrication processes such as: structural fabrication and welding, panel fabrication and integration, finishing and assembly processes

• Integrate advanced manufacturing techniques, including automated fabrication and robotics where applicable

• Lead cost reduction and value engineering efforts without compromising performance or quality

• Partner with manufacturing to improve production efficiency and reduce variability

Standards, Process & Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain E House design standards, best practices, and component libraries

• Lead Lean design initiatives and cross-site collaboration to standardize and improve design approaches

• Drive continuous improvement in engineering processes, tools, and workflows

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Application Support

• Work closely with mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams to resolve complex design challenges

• Support application engineering and Sales with E House configurations, scope definition, and cost estimating

• Participate in quoting, design reviews, and customer-specific customization efforts

• Ensure smooth transition from design to production

Team Leadership & Mentorship

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and designers

• Lead project teams and coordinate engineering efforts

• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

• 7+ years of experience in mechanical design of E House systems, enclosure systems, or similar large fabricated structures

• Demonstrated experience leading projects and delivering designs into production

• Strong expertise in structural design of large assemblies or enclosures and welded and fabricated structures

• Experience considering environmental and seismic design requirements

• Experience in a leadership role (project or team lead)

• Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or similar)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with complex, configurable, or custom-engineered products

• Background in manufacturing engineering or production support

• Experience supporting application engineering or sales functions

Key Competencies

• Deep understanding of structural trade-offs (strength, cost, manufacturability, thermal performance, seismic considerations)

• Strong problem-solving and technical decision-making skills

• Excellent communication skills, including presenting design trade-offs to stakeholders

• Proven leadership and mentoring capability

• Continuous improvement mindset with a focus on efficiency and quality

What Success Looks Like

• Robust, manufacturable E House designs delivered on time and within budget

• Designs that perform reliably under operational, environmental, and seismic conditions

• Measurable improvements in fabrication efficiency and cost reduction

• Standardized and scalable design practices

• Strong collaboration across engineering and manufacturing teams

• Development of team capability and technical expertise

Benefits

• PTO/ESST

• Paid holidays

• $100 individual deductible and $300 family deductible health insurance

• Paid Weekly

• Vision and Dental Insurance

• 401K / Life Insurance / STD
