Position Overview

• Support the design, testing, certification, and development of new electrical power distribution products.
• Work with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, sales, and product teams to move concepts through prototype, validation, and production release.
• Apply mechanical engineering fundamentals, along with electrical and thermal considerations, to develop reliable and manufacturable product designs.
• Manage assigned product development tasks with limited direction while ensuring quality, accuracy, and alignment with project requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute engineering activities for New Product Introduction projects.
• Support product development from concept design through testing, certification, and release.
• Collaborate with senior engineers, lead engineers, sales, and other stakeholders to define product requirements and engineering specifications.
• Create concept drawings, detailed designs, 3D models, 2D drawings, and bills of material for prototypes and test units.
• Coordinate with NRTLs, including UL, CSA, and similar agencies, to support product evaluation and certification.
• Develop and document test plans based on applicable standards and project requirements.
• Support in-house and third-party testing, including temperature rise, dielectric/BIL, short-circuit, withstand current, mechanical endurance, environmental, functional, and seismic testing.
• Review test results and revise designs based on data, engineering analysis, and product requirements.
• Evaluate electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance through testing, simulation, or analytical methods.
• Work with manufacturing engineering to apply Design for Manufacturability principles.
• Collaborate with mechanical designers to support accurate, production-ready design documentation.
• Conduct failure analysis on existing products and identify opportunities for product improvement.
• Travel up to 20% as needed to support testing, certification, manufacturing coordination, and product development activities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience designing low or medium voltage power distribution equipment, electrical equipment, or related products.
• Experience with NRTL evaluation, testing, and certification processes, including UL, CSA, or similar agencies.
• Knowledge of electrical equipment standards such as UL 891, UL 1558, UL 508A, IEEE C37.20, or similar standards.
• Experience creating 3D models, 2D drawings, and bills of material.
• SolidWorks experience strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design, manufacturability, and product development practices.
• Ability to interpret test results, troubleshoot design issues, and recommend practical engineering solutions.
• Strong analytical, communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage tasks independently in a fast-paced product development environment.
• Willingness to travel up to 20% as needed.
