Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Denton

The Mechanical Design Engineer plays a critical role in the design and development of mechanical systems supporting mission-critical data center power distribution products, including low-voltage switchgear and switchboards. This role combines deep technical expertise with project leadership and mentorship to deliver high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable designs in a fast-paced, engineered-to-order environment.

Working closely with Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain, this position ensures mechanical designs meet performance, safety, compliance, and serviceability requirements while supporting production, UL certification, and continuous improvement initiatives.

 

Core Responsibilities

  • Lead mechanical design of low-voltage switchgear and switchboard assemblies, including enclosures, structural frames, barriers, cable management, lifting provisions, ventilation, and service access.
  • Develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and assemblies using SolidWorks; maintain complete manufacturing documentation packages including BOMs, fabrication drawings, and revision control.
  • Support large-frame lineup configuration, shipping splits, installation interfaces, alignment, and maintainability for high-current systems (1200A–6000A class).
  • Collaborate with Electrical Engineering to ensure mechanical layouts support bus, breakers, cable entry, metering, safety, and code compliance.
  • Lead DFM and DFA activities, including modularization, standardization, part reuse, and reduction of custom components.
  • Generate and manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), redlines, and deviation requests.
  • Support prototype builds, factory acceptance testing, UL documentation, and certification activities (heat rise, dielectric, functional testing).
  • Mentor junior and mid-level mechanical engineers through design reviews, technical guidance, and standard work.
  • Partner with suppliers and fabricators on sheet metal, machining, welding, painting, gasketing, and assembly processes.
  • Provide shop-floor support, participate in root-cause analysis, and drive corrective actions for build and quality issues.

Additional Responsibilities

  • Support continuous improvement of mechanical design standards, documentation practices, and release processes.
  • Participate in cross-functional design reviews and risk assessments.
  • Support field feedback, serviceability improvements, and product lifecycle enhancements.
  • Assist with MRB activities and nonconformance disposition when required.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; Master’s degree preferred.
  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical design within engineered-to-order, electrical infrastructure, or industrial product environments.
  • Minimum 1–2 years of hands-on mechanical design experience for low-voltage switchgear or switchboards (1200A–6000A class preferred).
  • Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks and PDM systems.
  • Strong knowledge of sheet metal, machining, structural design, and tolerance control.
  • Experience releasing complete manufacturing packages (drawings, BOMs, ECOs, revision control).
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and lead technical execution across projects.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex blueprints, schematics, and mechanical assemblies.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in data center power infrastructure or mission-critical electrical equipment.
  • Background with switchgear OEMs or contract manufacturers.
  • Familiarity with UL witness testing and certification documentation.
  • Working knowledge of UL1062, UL891, NEC, and related safety and compliance standards.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
