About the role

What you would do

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will support the product line from the initial concept stage through production. The position requires both technical design capability and an understanding of manufacturing requirements.

What are the main duties of a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer?

The major responsibilities include

* Designing packages and sheet-metal enclosures for power electronic circuits. * Supporting products from concept development to production. * Creating complete pre-quote and final design documentation. * Preparing component and assembly drawings. * Developing Bills of Material (BOM). * Preparing product routings. * Designing fixtures and tooling where required. * Evaluating suppliers and manufacturing methods. * Identifying opportunities for assembly and equipment cost reduction. * Ensuring designs can be manufactured within required time and budget. * Coordinating prototype builds. * Reassessing manufacturing options after prototype evaluation.

This means the role goes beyond creating CAD models. The engineer must understand how a design will actually be manufactured, assembled, tested, and scaled for production.

What Does a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer Do?

A Senior Mechanical Design Engineer working on power electronics packaging must balance several engineering requirements.

The mechanical package needs to provide adequate protection for electronic components while also supporting manufacturing, assembly, serviceability, thermal management, and cost objectives.

Mechanical Packaging

The engineer will work on sheet-metal packages and enclosures used for power electronic circuits. Design decisions can include:

* Material selection * Sheet-metal thickness * Bending and forming requirements * Fastener selection * Mounting arrangements * Component clearances * Assembly access * Cable and connector interfaces * Manufacturing tolerances

What they are looking for

The job requires a combination of mechanical engineering fundamentals, CAD capability, manufacturing knowledge, and communication skills.

Technical Skills

Candidates should have experience in

* Mechanical product design * Sheet-metal design * Power electronics packaging * Industrialization * Manufacturing documentation * SolidWorks * Component and assembly drawings * Bills of Material * Fixture and tooling design * Supplier and manufacturing evaluation

Communication Skills

Good verbal and written communication is also required. A senior engineer may need to communicate with design engineers, manufacturing teams, suppliers, quality teams, project managers, and other technical stakeholders.

Clear communication helps reduce design misunderstandings and supports faster resolution of manufacturing issues.

The position requires a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Candidates should also have

* 4 to 6 years of experience in a development team. * Experience in packaging power electronic circuits. * Experience with industrialization. * Practical experience with SolidWorks. * Strong verbal and written communication skills.

This makes the position primarily suitable for experienced mechanical engineering professionals rather than fresh graduates.

Desirable Technical Knowledge

The following skills can strengthen a candidate’s profile:

* Thermal and cooling calculations * Electrical interconnect technologies * Cable and harness systems * Connectors * Power distribution * Signal interconnects

Knowledge of these areas can help mechanical engineers collaborate more effectively with electrical and electronics teams.

Why Is SolidWorks Important for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer?

SolidWorks experience is specifically mentioned for this position. It is therefore important for candidates to demonstrate practical CAD capability rather than simply listing the software on a resume.

A candidate should be comfortable with tasks such as:

* 3D part modeling * Assembly creation * Sheet-metal modeling * Engineering drawings * Design modifications * Component relationships * Design documentation * Manufacturing-oriented detailing

If possible, candidates should describe actual projects in their resumes instead of writing only “SolidWorks” under a skills section.

For example, experience with sheet-metal enclosures, industrial equipment, battery systems, power electronics, or similar products can make the relevance of the candidate’s experience easier to understand.

How Does Power Electronics Packaging Affect Mechanical Design?

Power electronics products generate heat and contain electrical components that require appropriate mechanical protection and integration.

The mechanical engineer therefore needs to consider several factors during packaging.

Thermal Considerations

The desirable skills for this role include thermal or cooling calculations. Depending on the product architecture, engineers may need to consider:

* Heat generation * Heat dissipation * Cooling paths * Airflow * Thermal interfaces * Component spacing * Enclosure design

Mechanical and electrical requirements can influence each other. A packaging solution needs to provide adequate physical space while supporting the required electrical and thermal conditions.

Electrical Interconnects

The role also mentions working knowledge of:

* Cable and harness technologies * Connectors * Power distribution * Signal interconnects

Mechanical engineers working with electronics should understand how these components affect packaging, routing, access, assembly, and serviceability.
