Job Description

SR Mechanical Design Engineer:

Vertiv is seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled SR Mechanical Design Engineer to supporting high-impact projects in the data center industry with a strong focus on low-voltage (LV) power distribution systems. The Mechanical Engineer will focus and be responsible for designing the Mechanical part for Switchboard / Switchgear product lines. The mechanical Engineer supports the design from start to finish and provides technical guidance to Supply chain and Material Management in global and local locations to support New Product Development and sustaining products. The role will review requirements and specifications, provide feedback, and use 3D CAD software to develop product designs. The product designs are documented in PLM software to release drawings and bills of material.

We are looking for candidate who are self-directed, solution-focused, and thrive in cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities and Measurement Criteria with Time investment Needed on Each:

(This will describe the overall core responsibilities of the role, decision making responsibilities etc.)

• Lead and contribute to the global environment in providing design engineering support for new product development, Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VAVE), and improvement projects.
• Serve as the Mechanical Engineer (ME) to lead concept and detailed design of power systems including the use of sheet metal, busbar, power cable, and wire harnesses.
• Develop complex drawings and bills of material designs, including 2D drawings and/or MBD (Model Based Design) for the mechanical design.
• Collaborate with other Mechanical Engineers to efficiently break down tasks, discuss design ideas, and work towards the best possible solution.
• Write, submit, and release change orders for new and released products into our PLM system using our revision control system.
• Execute diverse projects and assignments, ranging from concept design to NPD, Bills of Materials (BOM), CAD modelling, detailing (using Solidworks Tool), and Change Orders, maintaining organizational quality standards.
• Request and review analysis for Seismic, CFD, and Thermal designs while working with our internal simulation team.
• Work with manufacturing engineers and production associates to build prototypes and provide direction when needed.
• Familiarity with and ability to interpret industry design standards (UL, NEC, and IEC) for application to product designs.
• Order parts/components and support for prototype builds and production.
• Create customer facing product submittal drawings for finished designs.
• Support prototype/product testing as needed – typically assisting in thermal, mechanical layout, and mechanical strength issues.
• Support manufacturing with building issues of new designs.
• Occasional contact with outside vendors and suppliers as needed.
• Identify areas requiring process improvement or documentation. Work with management to execute improvements.

Qualifications:

Required/ Minimum Qualifications:

• Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or directly related degree or equivalent work experience.

Additional / Preferred Qualifications:
