Mechanical Design Engineer

As a Mechanical Design Engineer on ERMCOs Transformer development team, youll play a vital role in both product innovation and manufacturing execution. This hands-on, high-impact role requires a blend of mechanical design, manufacturing experience, and collaborative problem-solving. Working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment, you will help drive the development, prototyping, and production of amorphous and silicon transformer cores. We operate in a non-hierarchical, highly flexible structure where input from every team member is valued. Were looking for a motivated, optimistic engineer whos passionate about quality, performance, and continuous improvementand who can jump into critical projects and deliver solutions that make a real difference.

• Contribute to the development of low- and medium-voltage Transformers including physical design, prototyping, production support, and testing.
• Provide clear, accurate design documentation and instructions to support efficient and repeatable product builds.
• Analyze mechanical systems using both classical engineering methods and computer-aided tools (FEA, thermal/structural analysis).
• Interface with vendors to ensure proper manufacture of components.
• Lead or support hands-on assembly and mechanical production in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Train production teams on mechanical assembly procedures and best practices.
• Occasionally travel to support development and manufacturing implementation.

Immediate and high-priority initiatives include:

• Integration of PLC controls and HMI interfaces for both Silicon and Amorphous manufacturing lines.
• Specification and project management of a #6 batch anneal furnace.
• Specification of a purchased amorphous continuous anneal furnace.
• Coordination of component purchases for additional Silicon and Amorphous lines.
• Coordination and integration of uncoilers for the Silicon line.
• Integration and testing of linear servo actuation for the LVDG folder.
• Integration and testing of hydraulic cylinder actuation for the LVDG folder.
• Testing and evaluation of the AM blade feed system.
• Retrofitting existing AM lines with numerically controlled actuation and blade feed systems.
• Retrofitting AM and Silicon lines with updated PLC and HMI systems.
• Mechanical design and component support for AM&Ms amorphous continuous anneal furnace.

BSME or MSME with both analytical and hands-on engineering experience. Minimum of 5 years in mechanical design for electrical infrastructure, with exposure to manufacturing and documentation processes. Strong track record of cross-functional collaboration, including remote work with multi-disciplinary teams. Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results across simultaneous projects. Highly self-motivated with a proactive mindset and problem-solving orientation.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Proficient in CAD software (AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks preferred). Experience with mechanical system analysis including thermal and structural. Strong Microsoft Office skills (Excel, Word, PowerPoint). Demonstrated attention to detail, persistence, and ability to see projects through to completion. Skilled in preparing customer-facing drawings, internal BOMs, and manufacturing documentation. Adaptable leadership style with the ability to lead or support based on project needs.
