Mechanical Engineer – Power Distribution & Control Products Low- and Medium-Voltage (LV/MV) Systems
Integrated Circuit SolutionsAbout the Role Integrated Circuit Solutions (ICS) is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support the design, packaging, integration, and structural development of low- and medium-voltage power distribution equipment and packaged electrical systems for industrial, utility, renewable energy, mission-critical, and data center applications. This role focuses on enclosure design, equipment layout and integration, structural analysis, sheet metal and steel fabrication design, thermal management coordination, design-for-manufacturability, engineering documentation, code-compliance support, and manufacturing support. You will work with electrical engineering, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, project management, and customers to develop safe, reliable, cost-effective, manufacturable solutions from concept through manufacturing, testing, installation, and commissioning. Equipment and Systems Panelboards, switchboards, and switchgear Low- and medium-voltage automatic/manual transfer switches Disconnect and load-break switches Transformers and motor control centers (MCCs) Medium-voltage metal-clad and metal-enclosed switchgear and circuit breakers VFD and soft-starter packaged solutions E-Houses, power distribution centers (PDCs), and integrated power racks/skids Energy storage systems Key Responsibilities Mechanical Design and Product Application Review customer requirements, specifications, and equipment layout drawings to develop power distribution and motor control solutions. Develop layouts considering accessibility, maintenance clearances, cable and busway routing, arc-resistant requirements, thermal performance, transportation limitations, and installation needs. Perform structural calculations and engineering analysis for dead, operating, seismic, wind, transportation, lifting, and rigging loads. Design support structures, internal partitions, equipment mounting systems, bus supports, and enclosure reinforcement. Develop sheet metal assemblies and welded structural frames using accepted fabrication practices and design-for-manufacturability principles. Coordinate mechanical interfaces with electrical equipment, HVAC, cable management, fire detection/suppression, grounding, and auxiliary systems. Design mounting and operator mechanisms for medium-voltage disconnect and load-break switch assemblies, considering clearances, alignment, interlocking, and operating forces. Create and maintain 3D models, fabrication/assembly/installation drawings, bills of material (BOMs), and engineering change documentation. Apply GD&T and tolerance analysis to support manufacturability, interchangeability, and assembly performance. Technical Support and Compliance Support mechanical design and packaging in accordance with applicable UL, ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards. Design enclosures and compartments to meet environmental, personnel safety, arc-resistance, and equipment-segregation requirements. Support low-voltage switchboard/switchgear designs to applicable UL 891, UL 1558, and ANSI C37 requirements, and medium-voltage designs to applicable ANSI/IEEE C37 standards. Support UL/ETL certification activities, including construction reviews, test sample preparation, factory audits, and documentation packages. Perform tolerance stack-up evaluations and support first-article inspections. Investigate mechanical issues involving fabrication, assembly, transportation, installation, and field operation; support root-cause analysis and corrective actions. Coordinate enclosure ventilation and thermal management, including forced-air cooling, heat exchangers, air conditioning, filtration, and equipment-specific cooling. Codes, Standards, and Risk Management Apply relevant requirements from NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, NEMA, UL, IEEE, ANSI, the International Building Code (IBC), ASCE 7 seismic and wind-loading requirements, and applicable local codes. Apply product-specific standards, including UL 891, UL 1558, UL 508A, UL 1008, UL 845, and the ANSI/IEEE C37 series, a…
