Mechanical Engineer

Overview

Supports the mechanical design, analysis, and testing of components used in industrial motor drive products, executing defined engineering tasks under the guidance of senior engineers.

What you'll do

• Execute mechanical design engineering tasks such as modeling sheet metal, plastics, heatsinks, and mechanical assemblies using Creo.
• Support basic thermal and mechanical simulations using tools such as Ansys.
• Create and update engineering drawings applying GD&T fundamentals.
• Use development CMM tools for inspection.
• Complete assigned user stories each sprint and support backlog refinement activities.
• Participate in team meetings and provide clear updates on task status.
• Make task-level engineering decisions within defined constraints, escalating complex issues as needed.
• Prepare models, documentation, and test results for design reviews.
• Build and test prototype hardware while following safe work practices.
• Execute test procedures for thermal, vibration, and mechanical validation.
• Work with electrical, manufacturing, and test engineering teams to resolve design challenges.
• Maintain BOMs and documentation within Windchill and SAP under direction.
• Support senior engineers in identifying root cause of mechanical or thermal issues.
• Provide input to design process improvements based on day-to-day engineering work.
• Apply basic GD&T and tolerance analysis.
• Support compliance activities related to UL/IEC regulatory standards through test preparation and documentation.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical design (internships or co-op may apply).
• Basic proficiency with Creo and foundational mechanical analysis concepts.
• Ability to execute defined engineering tasks and collaborate effectively within a scrum team.
• Understanding of GD&T and mechanical drawing practices.

Nice to have

• Experience with enclosure design or thermal/mechanical components.
• Exposure to Ansys or similar simulation tools.
• Knowledge of UL/IEC standards related to industrial electrical equipment.
• Familiarity with AC drives or power electronics concepts.
• Ability to assist onboarding of interns or new engineers.
