Mechanical Engineer

Purpose of the Position:

The Mechanical Engineer will design, analyze, and optimize mechanical components and systems used in solar energy products production. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical engineering, CAD design, and manufacturing processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and systems for solar energy products, including solar panels, mounting structures, trackers, and balance of system (BOS) components.
• Perform engineering analysis and simulations to validate design concepts, optimize performance, and ensure compliance with technical specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and quality assurance, to translate design requirements into manufacturable products.
• Utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA) to create detailed 3D models, drawings, and specifications for mechanical parts and assemblies.
• Generate engineering documentation, including bill of materials (BOM), design documentation, test plans, and technical reports, to support product development and manufacturing processes.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing teams, resolving design-related issues, implementing process improvements, and optimizing production workflows.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices in mechanical engineering, participating in professional development activities and knowledge-sharing sessions.

Work Hours:

• Standard Hours (Monday – Friday, 8am-5pm)
• Managing a 24/7 plant structure, so occasional support when needed. 

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering field
• 3+ years of manufacturing experience
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials selection, and fabrication techniques used in producing mechanical components and systems.
• Familiarity with regulatory standards and codes applicable to mechanical design, such as ASME, ANSI, and ISO.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex issues, identify root causes, and implement effective solutions.
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Desired Skills:

• Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software, with experience in 3D modeling, drafting, and simulation.
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including statics, dynamics, materials science, and thermodynamics.
• Experience with finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and other engineering analysis tools is desirable.

Soft Skills:

• Able to communicate equally well with various levels of the organization (engineers, production associates, and managers).
• Able to work in a team-oriented environment
• Self-motivated
• Good presentation skills
• Able to handle multiple priorities
• High commitment level
• Ability to communicate to management
