What You'll Do
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing, verifying, and supporting the mechanical aspects of transformer production. From generating 3D designs to creating shop drawings and ensuring design accuracy, you'll contribute to delivering high-quality transformers that align with industry standards and customer requirements.
A Day in the Life
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll create 3D core and coil designs using our engineering automation platform (EAP), verifying them against Delta Star standards and technical decisions. You'll generate internal shop drawings, develop internal connection diagrams, and design woodwork structures and lead routing using Autodesk Inventor. Your work will also include generating material usage files for ERP system integration and providing production support by resolving issues and offering technical guidance. Over time, you'll expand your role to include external transformer designs and tank drawings, along with plasma and wood routing machine programming.
Specific Duties
  • Generate 3D core and coil designs using EAP, ensuring compliance with standards.
  • Create internal core, coil, and layout shop drawings and verify for accuracy.
  • Design internal woodwork structures and perform 3D lead routing using Autodesk Inventor.
  • Develop internal connection diagrams based on transformer nameplates.
  • Produce material usage files for ERP system analysis and material ordering.
  • Provide production support by addressing missing dimensions, details, and auxiliary views.
  • Long-term responsibilities include designing external transformer parts, creating tank drawings, and programming plasma and wood routing machines.

What We're Looking For
We're seeking a highly skilled and organized professional with a strong background in mechanical engineering and power transformer design.
Position Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • 2-5 years of combined experience in power transformer design and engineering, with at least 2 years focused on mechanical design.

Must live or be willing to relocate to within a reasonable safe commute to the assigned plant location. Must be authorized to work in the United States for any employer for U.S. based positions.
Skills & Competencies
  • Proficiency in CAD software.
  • In-depth knowledge of power transformer design, materials, and standards.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks with tight deadlines.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with teams.
