• Collaborate closely with Electrical and Controls Engineering teams to integrate electrical hardware into complete engine and generator assemblies.
• Design and release mechanical components and assemblies using CAD.
• Create detailed drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and engineering documentation.
• Support prototype builds, assembly, integration, troubleshooting, and design validation.
• Participate in design reviews and DFMEA activities.
• Work with suppliers to develop manufacturable solutions for integrated assemblies.
• Support product testing and incorporate lessons learned into future designs.
• Help optimize packaging for weight, durability, and cost while maintaining performance requirements.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline.
• 2+ years of mechanical design experience.
• Experience integrating electrical or electromechanical systems into complex products.
• Strong mechanical packaging and system integration experience.
• Experience designing around electrical components such as:

Power electronics
Control modules
Wiring harnesses
Connectors
Sensors
Batteries or energy storage systems
Electrical distribution hardware

• Proficiency with 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred).
• Understanding of DFM/DFA, GD&T, and mechanical tolerancing.
• Experience supporting prototype builds and engineering validation.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills.
