Location: Fremont, CA

Reports To: Mechanical Design Engineering Manager

Salary Range: $104,920 - $122,000

Position Summary:

The Mechanical Design Engineer II supports the design-to-order (DTO) engineering process for IEM’s low voltage power distribution products. This role involves extensive 3D modeling and 2D drafting, creating and maintaining BOMs, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet project specifications and timelines.  The Mechanical Design Engineer II builds on foundational engineering skills to contribute to project success while developing expertise in DTO project cycles, designing for manufacturability, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Designing and customizing mechanical solutions to meet client-specific requirements, focusing on manufacturability and compliance with industry and internal standards.
• Creating 3D models and 2D drawings, including client coordination drawings and fabrication documentation.
• Creating and maintaining BOMs for standard product line assemblies and DTO project workflow.
• Supporting collaboration with internal teams to ensure designs are aligned with project goals and timelines.
• Providing technical support during manufacturing and installation phases to ensure seamless project execution.

Design to Order Project Workflow:

• Review customer acceptance documentation for accuracy.
• Ensure project deliverables are on time and indicate early when tasks are not achievable.
• Ensure project designs comply with customer specifications, industry standards, manufacturability requirements, and internal quality benchmarks.
• Conduct self-reviews and participate in peer reviews to maintain high-quality deliverables.
• Support DTO workflow templating and automation initiatives to increase project throughput and reduce errors.

Collaboration and Support:

• Support senior group engineers, manufacturing engineers and plant personnel to refine designs for manufacturability.
• Work with manufacturing engineers to develop manufacturable design standards.
• Facilitate communication between design and manufacturing teams across multiple sites to align processes.

Competencies:

• Ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Exposure to sheet metal design is preferred.
• Strong attention to detail, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Pro E; Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experience is a plus.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to collaborate across teams.

Qualifications:

• BSME or equivalent required
• 2 year's experience in mechanical design, preferably in DTO or custom engineering.
• Candidates with EIT certification on the path to Professional Engineer (PE) licensure are preferred.
