  • Prepare and review manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and 3D CAD models, as required.
  • Ensure designs meet applicable industry regulations and standards including utility and customer specifications.
  • Stay updated on evolving industry standards, participating in and representing the company on industrial committees and technical events as required.
  • Support all mechanical certification and testing requirements, including short circuit and thermal performance validation.
  • Process and Quality Improvement :

  • Support initiatives to standardize and optimize mechanical design processes.
  • Lead and support root cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical design-related issues during production or testing.
  • Manage mechanical design review processes to ensure accuracy, adapting as necessary to different product types and configurations.
  • Collaboration and Coordination :

  • Interface with electrical design, production, quality, and supply chain teams to support manufacturability, testing, and cost-efficiency of mechanical designs.
  • Drive process improvement initiatives to enhance efficiencies and design quality.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical design-related issues encountered during manufacturing.
  • Participate in pre-order and post-order design reviews to confirm technical compliance and mitigate risks.
  • Provide technical guidance and direction to junior designers and engineers, contributing to the development of engineering standards and best practices.
  • Education :

  • Bachelor’s degree, or higher, in mechanical engineering or a related field.
  • Experience :

  • Proficiency in distribution transformer design, associated manufacturing processes, and application of applicable industry standards such as ANSI, ASTM, IEEE, and CSA.
  • Strong knowledge of fabrication, welding, and sheet metal design principles.
  • Understanding of electrical wiring and related systems.
  • Strong problem-solving and project management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa.
