AMSC’s equipment is primarily engineered to meet project-specific customer requirements rather than produced as standard, repetitive products. This position develops mechanical designs for transformer tanks, cores and clamping structures, winding assemblies, bus and connection systems, enclosures, piping systems, control cabinets, and other associated components.\nThe role utilizes Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and other engineering tools to develop 3D models, equipment layouts, manufacturing drawings, and supporting technical documentation. The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will work to ensure designs meet customer specifications, applicable industry standards, manufacturing requirements, and project objectives.\nResponsibilities:\nDevelop mechanical designs for custom-engineered transformer and power equipment projects based on customer specifications, application requirements, and project-specific design criteria.\nReview customer specifications and technical requirements and translate them into mechanical designs appropriate for each project.\nCreate and maintain 3D models, detailed part drawings, assembly drawings, equipment layouts, installation drawings, schematics, flow diagrams, and other manufacturing documentation.\nDevelop mechanical equipment layouts and interfaces while considering electrical clearances, structural requirements, accessibility, manufacturability, serviceability, and overall equipment configuration.\nDesign transformer tanks, structural components, core and clamping assemblies, winding support structures, bus and connection systems, enclosures, piping, cooling systems, and other mechanical components.\nDefine and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation required to support procurement and manufacturing for assigned projects.\nPrepare drawings, specifications, and technical documentation required for the manufacture and purchase of custom components and assemblies.\nCollaborate closely with Electrical and Project Engineering throughout project execution to ensure mechanical designs support electrical, thermal, insulation, dimensional, and customer requirements.\nPerform mechanical design calculations and engineering evaluations as required to validate project designs and component selections.\nBalance customer-specific engineering requirements with existing designs and standardization opportunities to improve quality, manufacturability, cost, and project delivery.\nRevise and adapt existing designs, drawings, models, and documentation to meet the unique requirements of individual customer projects.\nProvide engineering support to Manufacturing by troubleshooting project-specific design issues and developing practical solutions to production challenges.\nParticipate in project and design reviews and provide technical input throughout design, manufacturing, testing, and project execution.\nInterface with customers and suppliers regarding mechanical design requirements, technical questions, design changes, and project-specific issues as needed.\nDevelop and process Engineering Change Notices/Orders and ensure drawings and related project documentation are properly released and controlled.\nWhen assigned as the technical lead on a project, coordinate mechanical design activities and provide technical direction to designers, engineers, and other project team members.\nMonitor assigned engineering activities and communicate project status, technical concerns, design changes, and potential schedule impacts to appropriate stakeholders.\nEnsure designs comply with customer specifications, applicable engineering standards, company procedures, and safety requirements.\nPerform other duties and engineering projects as assigned.\nEducation - Experience:\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline required.\nMinimum of 5 years of progressive mechanical design experience in transformers, electrical power equipment, heavy industrial equipment, or a related engineered-product environment.\nExperience working in an engineered-to-order, project-based, or highly customized equipment environment strongly preferred.\nDemonstrated experience interpreting customer specifications and developing or adapting mechanical designs to meet project-specific requirements.\nExperience with the mechanical design and construction of oil-filled power transformers strongly preferred.\nExperience designing transformer tanks, structural assemblies, bus systems, winding support structures, insulation systems, cooling/piping systems, or similar components preferred.\nExperience with high-current bus connections, regulating transformers, multi-tap transformers, or other specialized transformer applications preferred.\nExperience with dry-type transformers, rectifier-duty transformers, or power conversion equipment is a plus.\nExperience supporting custom-engineered equipment from customer specification and design through manufacturing and project completion preferred.\nExperience working directly with manufacturing operations, suppliers, customers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams preferred.\nRequired Skills, Competencies, Authorities and Training Needs:\nStrong knowledge of mechanical design principles, engineering drawings, manufacturing methods, materials, tolerances, and fabrication processes.\nDemonstrated ability to interpret complex customer specifications and project requirements and translate them into practical mechanical designs.\nAbility to develop custom engineering solutions while appropriately leveraging existing designs, standards, and proven design practices.\nProficiency with 3D mechanical design/CAD software; Autodesk Inventor experience strongly preferred.\nProficiency with AutoCAD or similar 2D drafting software.\nAbility to develop and interpret detailed mechanical drawings, assembly drawings, equipment layouts, Bills of Materials, and technical specifications.\nWorking knowledge of transformer mechanical construction and the interaction between mechanical, electrical, thermal, and insulation requirements.\nAbility to evaluate designs for manufacturability, assembly, structural integrity, accessibility, and serviceability.\nStrong mechanical problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, including the ability to address unique technical challenges that arise across customer projects.\nAbility to independently manage mechanical design responsibilities across multiple projects with competing priorities, requirements, and schedules.\nStrong attention to detail and commitment to accurate engineering documentation and configuration control.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Project Management, customers, and suppliers.\nAbility to provide technical leadership and direction to designers and other engineering personnel when assigned as a project lead.\nProficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel.\nExperience with transformer-specific engineering analysis/design software is a plus.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7228,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical
