Senior Mechanical Engineer

About this role

Job Description Summary We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the packaging, structural, and thermal design of next-generation high-power electrical systems, including inverters, converters, variable frequency drives, and energy storage solutions. This role sits at the intersection of electrical performance and physical implementation, with responsibility for developing cooling systems, enclosures, and packaging architectures for high-density power electronics operating in demanding environments. As part of the Advanced Concepts and Technology team, you will apply first-principles engineering, FEA/CFD modeling, rapid prototyping, and hands-on testing to solve complex challenges in heat transfer, structural integrity, electronics packaging, and manufacturability

The role supports advanced applications such as energy storage, propulsion systems, naval/marine power systems, and building block converters, including designs using SiC and GaN devices. This position requires deep expertise in thermal management, mechanical integration, and product development, with a strong focus on practical, scalable, design-for-manufacturing solutions. You will also help strengthen the team through mentoring and training junior engineers

Job Description Review customer requirements and develop mechanical/thermal specifications for high-power converter systems across industrial, marine, renewable, and naval applications. Lead system architecture and trade studies that influence component selection, materials, board layout, and packaging design. Own the thermal management strategy for power converters, including heat sinks, cold plates, heat exchangers, and thermal interface materials

Perform and guide FEA/CFD modeling to evaluate cooling performance, fluid flow, thermal balance, structural integrity, shock, vibration, and thermal stress. Develop and validate cooling loop hardware and thermal solutions for magnetics, power devices, and PCBs through testing, instrumentatio
