Job summary

Generac Power Systems seeks a Mechanical Design Engineer to craft the mechanical hardware for interconnect products, including enclosures, switching mechanisms, and thermal packaging for transfer switches, generator controllers, and related devices.

You will own Creo Parametric models and 2D drawings, work with electronics, firmware, and manufacturing teams across time zones, and drive DFx, NPI, and production readiness while ensuring safety and reliability of energy-dense assemblies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of mechanical design and development of electromechanical or electrical products.
• Proficiency creating and modifying complex 3D models and complete 2D drawing sets in Creo Parametric.
• Ability to create detailed 2D drawings using Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards.
• Experience performing 1D tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Experience designing mechanical components for electromechanical systems, including enclosures, sheet metal, plastics, and mechanisms.
• Working knowledge of common manufacturing processes – sheet metal, injection molding, machining, and casting – and design for manufacturability.
• Ability to prototype baseline designs using typical shop tools.
• Strong attention to detail with good written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience working with U.S.-based teams or customers, with strong communication and collaboration across time zones.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical components and assemblies for electromechanical products – enclosures, sheet-metal and molded parts, brackets, and switching mechanisms for transfer switches, generator controllers, and related interconnect devices.
• Create and modify detailed 3D CAD models and complete 2D drawing sets in Creo Parametric, with attention to assembly construction and design intent.
• Produce manufacturing-ready 2D drawings applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards.
• Perform 1D tolerance stack-up analysis and design fixtures and methods to qualify first articles.
• Translate product and system requirements into mechanical designs and evaluate tradeoffs across cost, performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Design for thermal management and environmental protection, including enclosure ratings (e.g., NEMA/IP).
• Select materials, finishes, and off-the-shelf components – fasteners, seals, hinges, contactors, and actuators – appropriate for cost, environment, and reliability.
• Design to applicable product-safety and agency standards and support certification testing.
• Build and test prototypes using typical shop tools to validate baseline designs.
• Design and conduct experiments, then analyze results to inform and drive design decisions.
• Collaborate with the Electronics and Firmware teams to package boards and energy-dense elements into robust mechanical assemblies.
• Work closely with Manufacturing to ensure designs are optimized for production and assembly (DFM/DFT).
• Work with suppliers and prototype shops to evaluate parts, obtain quotes, and resolve technical issues.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) through pilot builds, design verification, and production launch, and help root-cause mechanical failures across development, validation, manufacturing, and the field.
• Contribute to mechanical design standards, documentation, and continuous improvement of engineering processes.

Job description

We are Generac, a leading energy technology company committed to powering a smarter world.

Over the 60 plus years of Generac’s history, we’ve been dedicated to energy innovation. From creating the home standby generator market category, to our current evolution into an energy technology solutions company, we continue to push new boundaries.

Mechanical Design Engineer

Home Interconnect & Controlsis responsible forinterconnecting sources and loads across Generac’s product portfolio. We own the controls and hardware that tie generators, energy storage, transfer switches, load-management devices, and metering together into a coordinated home energy system.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will design the mechanical hardware behind our interconnect products – the enclosures, switching mechanisms, and structural and thermal packaging for transfer switches, generator controllers, and related interconnect devices. You willtakecomponents and assemblies from concept and CAD through drawings, prototyping, verification, and production,acting as the technical owner of the mechanical design while collaborating closely with project and product teams in our U.S. offices. You will partner day to day with electronics, firmware, manufacturing, and test engineering to bring robust, cost-effective products to market.
