Job Title: Mechanical Team Lead - Hybrid

Department: Engineering

Work Location: US/Canada

Position Description:

The Mechanical Team lead will be responsible for managing a team of mechanical engineers and designers responsible for the design and manufacture of distribution transformers in accordance with IEEE, CSA, and customer specifications. This is a hands-on role requiring both technical guidance and active participation in the design process. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in mechanical engineering as it applies to transformer applications, and a collaborative mindset to ensure timely, cost-effective, and manufacturable designs that meet industry standards and customer expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

Team Leadership:

  • Plan and prioritize team workload to meet project schedules and organizational objectives.
  • Conduct performance reviews, training, and technical development of team members.
  • Supervise, mentor and support a team of mechanical engineers and designers, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.

Design & Development:

  • Design, develop and review mechanical specifications for distribution transformers, ensuring compliance with customer requirements.
  • Develop and review mechanical designs for distribution transformers, including tanks, enclosures, radiators, lifting/grounding provisions, core-coil frame assemblies, and mounting structures.
  • Perform mechanical calculations such as structural strength for short circuit forces, thermal performance, and tolerance stack-ups.
  • Utilize engineering software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidEdge, or proprietary transformer design tools) for mechanical design, modeling and simulation.
  • Prepare and review manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and 3D CAD models, as required.
  • Ensure designs meet applicable industry regulations and standards including utility and customer specifications.
  • Stay updated on evolving industry standards, participating in and representing the company on industrial committees and technical events as required.
  • Support all mechanical certification and testing requirements, including short circuit and thermal performance validation.

Process and Quality Improvement:

  • Support initiatives to standardize and optimize mechanical design processes.
  • Lead and support root cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical design-related issues during production or testing.
  • Manage mechanical design review processes to ensure accuracy, adapting as necessary to different product types and configurations.

Collaboration and Coordination:

  • Interface with electrical design, production, quality, and supply chain teams to support manufacturability, testing, and cost-efficiency of mechanical designs.
  • Drive process improvement initiatives to enhance efficiencies and design quality.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical design-related issues encountered during manufacturing.
  • Participate in pre-order and post-order design reviews to confirm technical compliance and mitigate risks.
  • Provide technical guidance and direction to junior designers and engineers, contributing to the development of engineering standards and best practices.

Requirements

Education:

  • Bachelor’s degree, or higher, in mechanical or electrical engineering.

Experience:

  • 15+ years of experience in design engineering of electrical distribution equipment, transformer design beneficial.
  • 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams or acting as a technical lead.

Skills and Competencies:

  • Proficiency with 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidEdge, AutoCAD, etc.) and ERP systems.
  • Proficiency in distribution transformer design, associated manufacturing processes, and application of applicable industry standards such as ANSI, ASTM, IEEE, and CSA.
  • Strong knowledge of fabrication, welding, and sheet metal design principles.
  • Understanding of electrical wiring and related systems.
  • Strong problem-solving and project management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa.
  • Strong ability to work with, and manage, diverse and distributed teams.
