About the role
Description The Role
We are seeking a
Manager of Mechanical Engineering
to lead a team of 5–10 engineers focused on the mechanical design and integration of power conversion systems.
This role combines
team leadership with deep technical ownership
. You will be responsible for guiding the mechanical design of power electronics enclosures, integrating inverter systems into larger platforms, and ensuring robust solutions for thermal performance and environmental protection.
You will work closely with electrical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to deliver systems that are not only high-performance but also manufacturable, serviceable, and reliable in the field
Requirements
Lead and develop a team of 5–10 mechanical engineers
Own the mechanical design of power electronics enclosures and inverter packaging
Drive system-level mechanical integration of inverter platforms into multi-megawatt (~5 MW) energy systems
Design and optimize cooling solutions (air, liquid, hybrid) for high-power electronics
Define strategies for environmental protection (IP-rated enclosures, sealing, corrosion resistance, etc.)
Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless system integration
Guide design tradeoffs across thermal performance, structural integrity, cost, and manufacturability
Lead design reviews, prototyping, and validation testing (thermal, environmental, mechanical)
Ensure designs meet reliability, safety, and regulatory requirements
Mentor engineers and build strong technical capability within the team
Take ownership of system performance in real-world operating conditions
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field)
7+ years of experience in mechanical design for complex electromechanical systems
2+ years of experience leading or managing engineering teams
Strong expertise in:
- Enclosure design for industrial or outdoor systems
- Thermal management of power electronics
- Mechanical integration of complex systems
Experience working with high-power systems (power electronics, industrial, energy, or similar)
Knowledge of environmental protection design (IP ratings, sealing, materials, coatings)
Familiarity with manufacturing processes (sheet metal, welding, machining, assembly)
Experience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks or similar) and mechanical simulation tools
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work at both system and component levels
Effective communicator with cross-functional collaboration experience
