Mechanical Engineer I - Power Equipment

Location: Marietta, OH

Job Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

Position Overview

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer I to support the design and development of power protection equipment, including switchboards, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and power panels.

This role works across engineering and manufacturing to develop practical, high-quality designs, support prototype builds, and improve existing products. The position also provides opportunities to independently manage smaller engineering projects.

What You'll Do

• Create mechanical designs and engineering documentation for new and modified power equipment.
• Develop designs that meet customer requirements, project objectives, quality expectations, and manufacturing needs.
• Participate in design reviews and verification activities; evaluate feedback and update designs as needed.
• Model and release mechanical prototypes and work with fabrication teams during prototype builds.
• Evaluate prototype results and lead design improvements following fabrication and testing.
• Independently coordinate smaller engineering projects and organize the work required to meet project goals.
• Collaborate with Production, Supply Chain, Service, and other business functions to ensure new and updated products are practical throughout their lifecycle.
• Support product customization, lifecycle management, ECN (Engineering Change Notice) activities, and product optimization.
• Contribute to technical documentation and other engineering deliverables.
• Apply design-for-manufacturing principles to improve manufacturability and product quality.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 2+ years of relevant professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of power protection equipment and the data center market.
• Familiarity with applying electrical safety standards, including UL and IEC, to power equipment.
• 2+ years of experience with SolidWorks CAD, including mechanical modeling and thermal and structural evaluation.
• Experience with PLM software.
• Knowledge of sheet metal design, detail part drawings, assembly drawings, and design for manufacturing (DFM).
• Experience with test fixture design.
• Familiarity with switchboards, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), UL 891, and UL 508 panels.
• Strong technical writing, written communication, and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while working effectively in a collaborative engineering environment.
• Solution-focused approach with strong attention to quality and detail.

Work Environment

This is a collaborative engineering role that works closely with manufacturing and other functional teams. The position involves supporting prototype fabrication, product testing, design reviews, and ongoing product improvement.
