Job Description

Lead Engineer Low Voltage Switchgear Mechanical
The Lead Mechanical Design Engineer – Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear is responsible for leading the mechanical design, development, validation, industrialization, and lifecycle support of low-voltage switchgear and power distribution products. This role serves as the technical leader for assigned programs and owns mechanical engineering execution from concept through production release, ensuring alignment with customer requirements, manufacturing capabilities, quality objectives, cost targets, and Jabil product lifecycle processes.

Key Responsibilities

Own the mechanical design and architecture of LV switchgear, switchboards, MCCs, and power distribution equipment.
Translate customer requirements into engineering specifications and design deliverables.
Lead mechanical design and specification of enclosure systems, structural assemblies, busbar support systems, insulation interfaces, short-circuit resistant mechanical assemblies, mechanical interlocks, doors, hinges, latching mechanisms, seismic features, and associated switchgear mechanical hardware to achieve safety, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability objectives.
Contribute to enclosure architecture development and lead definition of compartmentalization strategies, equipment layouts, accessibility, maintainability, cable routing concepts, and serviceability requirements in alignment with system architecture, safety, and operational objectives.
Lead thermal engineering activities including airflow design, ventilation strategies, heat dissipation analysis, CFD modeling, temperature-rise assessment, and thermal validation testing to ensure compliance with applicable standards and product performance requirements.
Lead concept development, prototype builds, design verification, pilot production, and production release activities.
Drive engineering decisions that optimize product cost, performance, manufacturability, schedule, and quality.
Lead design transfer, support manufacturing readiness reviews, provide production ramp support, and conduct engineering change implementation across global manufacturing sites.
Ensure compliance with UL 891, UL 1558, NEC, IEC 61439, NEMA, and customer-specific requirements.
Serve as the primary mechanical engineering interface for customers during design reviews, issue resolution, and product development activities.
Lead DFx initiatives including Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Reliability (DFR), Design for Automation (DfA), and VAVE activities.
Oversee qualification testing including environmental, thermal, short-circuit, seismic, arc-flash, and safety evaluations.
Support customer witness testing, FAT activities, and field issue resolution as required.
Lead technical risk reviews, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and continuous improvement efforts.
Collaborate with global engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and regulatory teams.

Qualifications & Requirements
Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related field.
10+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including 5+ years in low-voltage switchgear, switchboards, MCCs, or power distribution products.
Demonstrated technical leadership on mechanical engineering execution for NPI programs from concept through production release, ensuring achievement of cost, quality, schedule, and manufacturability objectives.
Strong CAD proficiency using Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, or equivalent 3D CAD platforms.
Knowledge of sheet metal, busbar systems, manufacturing processes, and applicable standards.
Knowledge of UL 891, UL 1558, IEC 61439, NEMA, IEEE C37.20.1, ANSI/IEEE switchgear standards, and associated mechanical design requirements.
Familiarity with tolerance stack-up analysis, GD&T, welding design, and sheet metal design for manufacturability.
Experience supporting sheet metal fabrication, punching, bending, welding, coating, copper bus fabrication, and assembly process development.
Experience with FEA, CFD/thermal analysis, and structural simulations.
Experience with seismic design considerations and qualification requirements for power distribution equipment.
Experience with service entrance equipment, switchboards, and low-voltage power distribution assemblies.
Experience with PLM systems such as Windchill, or equivalent.
Preferred Qualifications

Lean/Six Sigma experience.
Experience supporting global manufacturing operations and design transfers.
Experience in data centers, industrial, utility, or critical power markets.
Experience with arc-resistant switchgear design concepts, pressure relief methods, personnel protection strategies, and enclosure integrity considerations.
Leadership Expectations

Lead switchgear design reviews, technical risk assessments, and engineering governance activities throughout the product lifecycle.
Mentor engineers and establish engineering standards, best practices, and governance processes.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

NPI milestone achievement and on-time product launch.
First-pass qualification and certification success.
Design-related field quality and warranty performance.
Product cost competitiveness and margin improvement.
Manufacturing readiness and production ramp effectiveness.
Customer satisfaction and issue closure responsiveness.
Working Conditions

Standard full-time position with a typical work schedule of 40 hours per week.
Employees are expected to work on-site for a minimum of three (3) days per week.
Collaboration with global teams may occasionally require flexibility in working hours to accommodate different time zones.
Travel up to 20% domestic and international as required.
Office, laboratory, manufacturing, supplier, and customer-site environment exposure may be required.
