  • Develop manufacturable weldments, sheet metal assemblies, and structural components
  • Design service access, maintenance pathways, and equipment layout for field operations
  • Coordinate mechanical systems with electrical switchgear, control panels, and cable routing zones
  • Support prototype builds, testing, and manufacturing integration of generator platforms
  • Lead root cause investigations related to vibration, structural behavior, or thermal performance

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical design for industrial equipment, power systems, or heavy machinery
  • Strong experience designing structural steel assemblies and heavy equipment packaging
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks for large assemblies and mechanical system integration
