Reporting to the Manager of New Product Development, the Sr Mechanical Designer is responsible for advanced CAD architecture, concept development, and complex system layouts covering G&W Electric’s overhead and underground switchgear product lines. This role serves as a technical authority in Creo-based mechanical design, translating high-level ideas, concepts, and minimal inputs into fully realized design concepts, layouts, and CAD models.

Collaborate closely with Project Engineers, Engineering Managers, and cross-functional teams to support concept development, feasibility studies, and new product initiatives.
Provide mentorship and technical guidance to NPD Mechanical Designers and Design Engineers as needed.
Manage multiple complex assignments with minimal direction while meeting aggressive development timelines.

Concept Development & Layout

Rapidly create conceptual models and system-level layouts to evaluate design feasibility, space requirements, and packaging constraints.
Perform full equipment layouts inside tanks and enclosures to support envelope analysis, clearances, serviceability, and manufacturability.
Develop top-down and bottom-up CAD structures to support early concept exploration through detailed design.

Support design trade studies by quickly iterating multiple concept options.
Ensure models and drawings properly support Bills of Materials, tolerance requirements, and downstream manufacturing needs.
Apply GD&T principles and tolerance stack-up analysis to complex assemblies

Required Qualifications

Associate’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or equivalent practical experience.
10+ years of progressive experience in mechanical design and product development.
Expert-level Creo experience, including advanced modeling, large assemblies, and complex layouts.
Extensive hands-on experience with Windchill.
Demonstrated experience developing designs from concept through production.
Strong understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack analysis.
Proven ability to translate abstract ideas or minimal inputs into robust mechanical designs.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams.
Strong creative problem-solving skills and ability to manage multiple complex tasks simultaneously.
Proficiency with Windows, Microsoft Word, Excel, and project collaboration tools.
Solid mechanical troubleshooting experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Technology.
Extensive experience in Research & Development environments.
