Principal Mechanical Design Engineer – Electrical Enclosures

BHP, Inc dba Global Power Components; United States; In loco; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Global Power Components is seeking a Principal Mechanical Design Engineer to lead enclosure design for electrical power distribution equipment. You will own structural and thermal design, drive simulations, validate concepts, and partner with certification and manufacturing teams to deliver production-ready enclosures.

The role requires 12+ years in enclosure design, deep sheet metal knowledge, and a strong track record in analysis to minimize certification risk.

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Twelve or more years of direct design experience with enclosures for electrical power distribution equipment.
• Demonstrated expertise using ANSYS or comparable simulation software for structural, dynamic, or short-circuit-force analysis.
• Experience modeling thermal performance, airflow, heat transfer, and temperature rise in enclosed electrical equipment.
• Experience owning the mechanical design of enclosures and structures through analysis, prototype, certification testing, and production release.
• Deep knowledge of fabricated sheet metal structures, welded assemblies, bolted joints, fasteners, materials, tolerances, and design for manufacturing.

Mansioni

• Own the mechanical and thermal design of enclosures, frames, doors, covers, barriers, mounting structures, bus supports, and bracing systems for electrical power distribution equipment.
• Translate electrical ratings, short-circuit requirements, thermal loads, environmental requirements, and manufacturing constraints into robust mechanical designs.
• Establish design criteria, safety margins, calculation methods, and reusable engineering standards across product families.
• Lead finite element analysis of short-circuit forces, structural loading, stress, deformation, and dynamic response.
• Lead thermal and airflow analysis to predict heat rise, hot spots, and ventilation performance.
• Document assumptions, calculations, results, and design decisions for the product-development system.
