The Lead Mechanical CAD Designer is responsible for the end-to-end mechanical CAD design and lifecycle support of complex mechanical systems, ensuring designs meet performance and manufacturability requirements.
Responsibilities
- Independently design and maintain complex mechanical assemblies using advanced parametric CAD modeling in SolidWorks and/or Creo
- Develop detailed layouts and assemblies encompassing structural elements, enclosures, piping systems, thermal components, pumps, valves and mounting interfaces
- Ensure mechanical designs meet performance, thermal, structural, manufacturability, serviceability and customer requirements
- Resolve system level mechanical integration challenges, including packaging constraints and interface definition
- Execute configuration and revision-controlled CAD designs supporting multiple product variants, options and revisions within a common platform
- Maintain stability and integrity of complex models as engineering changes are introduced over time
- Implement engineering changes (ECR/ECNs), ensuring traceability, compatibility with released configurations and minimal disruption to production
- Ensure consistent alignment between CAD models, drawings, BOMs and PLM data across all lifecycle stages
- Produce and maintain production ready manufacturing drawings, applying expert level GD&T, tolerance stack‑ups, materials, finishes and inspection quality requirements
- Design parts and assemblies with strong consideration for DFM/DFA, fabrication methods, welding, machining and final assembly
- Support prototype builds, pilot production and manufacturing issue resolution through rapid design updates and documentation corrections
- Ensure designs support repeatable, high‑yield manufacturing across multiple sites, suppliers, and production volumes
- Work closely with electrical engineering to coordinate mechanical electrical interfaces, routing paths and packaging clearances
- Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, quality and production teams to address build issues, component changes, and all feedback
- Provide technical input during design reviews, release readiness assessments and product change discussions
- Contribute to the refinement of CAD standards, modeling practices and documentation quality through hands on execution
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent professional experience
- 8+ years of hands on mechanical CAD design experience with complex, multi component assemblies
- Expert proficiency in Creo and/or SolidWorks, including advanced parametric modeling methodologies
- Strong command of GD&T, tolerancing and manufacturing documentation
- Proven experience executing configuration controlled designs across multiple product variants and lifecycle phases
- Ability to independently own complex technical work with minimal oversight
- Power and Cooling system experience (Switchgear, PDC, UPS, Busway, chillers, CDUs, liquid cooling platforms, or thermal management systems)
- Experience with fluid systems design, including piping, fittings, valves, pumps, filters and heat exchangers
- Background in industrial, infrastructure or data center class equipment
- Familiarity with PLM systems and formal product release and change processes
- Experience supporting NPI and sustaining engineering in production environments
