This role works under the direction of the Project Proposals & Global Engineering Lead, producing product design layouts with tolerance analysis, system assembly and integration documentation, connection/interface definitions, and manufacturing/assembly considerations. A key responsibility is ensuring proposed designs are buildable, properly toleranced, and aligned with customer requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Develop product design layout drawings for customer packages - module arrangements, shelf configurations, and cabinet assemblies
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to verify fit, form, and function across mating components and assemblies
• Define system assembly sequences and integration procedures for modular DC power configurations
• Document all mechanical connections and interfaces - power bus, signal cable routing, cooling interfaces, grounding paths, and mating sequences
• Create site fit documentation - physical footprint, clearance requirements, and interface dimensions with customer infrastructure
• Coordinate with DFM Engineer on manufacturability of proposed configurations and assembly processes
• Review project designs (mechanical) under Proposals Lead for accuracy to customer site expectations
• Verify requirements traceability - ensure every customer mechanical requirement has a corresponding specification response
• Collaborate with team to ensure mechanical and electrical package content is consistent

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical product design, system integration, or product engineering
• Experience with product layout drawings, assembly documentation, and tolerance stack-up analysis
• Proficiency in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) for multi-component assemblies
• Experience defining assembly sequences, mechanical interfaces, and connection specifications
• Understanding of assembly processes, tooling, and DFM/DFA principles
• Ability to produce clear, customer-ready specification and integration documents
• Proficiency with Creo (preferred), SolidWorks, or equivalent for product layouts and assembly documentation
• Experience with BOM maintenance MRP programs (Oracle Cloud) and lifecycle PLM vaults (Agile, Windchill)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in telecom or data center power equipment design
• Familiarity with modular/hot-swappable product architectures
• Experience with tolerance analysis software (Vis VSA, 3DCS, or manual stack-up methods)
• Knowledge of sheet metal fabrication processes and tolerances
• Experience with seismic qualification (GR-63, Zone 4)
• Previous proposal, bid, or design engineering role
• Familiarity with rack-mount and floor-standing power equipment interfaces
• Experience coordinating with manufacturing/production engineering teams

Travel Requirements:

• 5-10%, including internationally
