This role will serve as a technical authority for mechanical system design, structural and thermal analysis, equipment integration, and troubleshooting while supporting projects from concept through manufacturing, testing, and production.\nThe ideal candidate brings extensive hands-on experience designing industrial equipment, generator enclosures, fabricated steel structures, equipment skids, and modular systems, along with strong engineering calculation capabilities and the ability to mentor engineers and solve complex cross-functional technical problems.\nKey Responsibilities\nMechanical System Design & Technical Leadership\nLead mechanical system architecture and design for complex modular power and industrial systems.\nDevelop and review mechanical designs for generator enclosures, structural frames, equipment skids, sheet metal assemblies, weldments, and integrated mechanical systems.\nDesign and integrate generators, cooling systems, fuel systems, piping, exhaust systems, and associated mechanical equipment.\nPerform and review engineering calculations involving structural loads, stress, deflection, vibration, fatigue, thermal performance, and fluid systems.\nPerform and validate finite element analysis (FEA) on structural frames, welded assemblies, lifting structures, and equipment supports.\nEstablish technical direction and provide guidance on complex or first-of-kind mechanical designs.\nLead design reviews and resolve high-level technical issues across multiple projects.\nStructural, Thermal & Mechanical Integration\nEvaluate structural designs for operational, lifting, transportation, wind, seismic, and other applicable loading conditions.\nDevelop mechanical layouts supporting equipment integration, service access, thermal management, and manufacturability.\nSupport cooling system design, airflow analysis, heat rejection, and thermal management for generator systems, BESS, and modular infrastructure.\nCollaborate with Electrical and Structural Engineering teams on equipment interfaces, system requirements, and integration challenges.\nSupport mechanical testing, design validation, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations.\nProvide technical support to manufacturing, integration, field service, and customers.\nManufacturing & Product Development\nEnsure mechanical designs are manufacturable, serviceable, safe, and aligned with customer requirements.\nWork closely with Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Program Management, and Operations.\nSupport prototype builds, production launches, design changes, and continuous product improvement.\nDevelop and maintain production-ready mechanical drawings, engineering calculations, BOMs, specifications, and design documentation.\nProvide technical guidance on fabrication, welding, machining, assembly, and mechanical integration.\nResolve complex manufacturing and product performance issues through engineering analysis and practical design solutions.\nMentorship & Engineering Excellence\nMentor Senior and Mechanical Engineers and provide technical review of engineering work.\nHelp establish mechanical engineering standards, calculation methods, design guidelines, documentation practices, and validation methodologies.\nServe as a technical resource for complex customer, certification, manufacturing, and field issues.\nLead technical design reviews and provide guidance on engineering assumptions, analytical methods, and design decisions.\nIdentify opportunities to improve design quality, efficiency, reliability, and repeatability across programs.\nQualifications\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.\n12+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience, preferably in industrial equipment, power generation, modular systems, or custom manufacturing.\nDemonstrated experience leading complex mechanical designs from concept through manufacturing and production, including collaboration with fabrication and assembly teams.\nStrong experience designing fabricated steel structures, industrial enclosures, equipment skids, weldments, or integrated mechanical systems.\nAdvanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including large assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, and manufacturing documentation.\nStrong experience performing mechanical engineering calculations, structural analysis, and FEA.\nDemonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems, lead design reviews, and mentor engineers.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with generator systems, BESS, modular data centers, or mission-critical power infrastructure.\nExperience with thermal management, airflow, cooling systems, or fluid system design.\nFamiliarity with ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or similar engineering analysis tools.\nKnowledge of applicable ASME, AISC, UL, or related engineering standards.\nProfessional Engineer (PE) license or FE/EIT certification.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5079,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"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":["Manufacturing","Energy
