Job Overview

Mainspring is looking for a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer — Electromechanical to lead the design and integration of electrical enclosures, busbars, and cable systems for our next-generation energy platforms.

This is a highly visible technical leadership role focused on solving difficult real-world engineering problems across power electronics packaging, harsh-environment durability, manufacturability, and system integration. You’ll help shape core product architecture while working on systems deployed across demanding operating environments ranging from coastal and desert conditions to future megawatt-scale applications.

We’re looking for an engineer who understands how electrical and mechanical systems behave in the real world — and can drive robust electromechanical solutions from concept through production.

Core Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of electrical enclosures, busbars, cable assemblies, and integrated electromechanical systems
  • Drive packaging decisions balancing thermal performance, vibration durability, EMI considerations, creepage/clearance, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost
  • Own hardware through the full product lifecycle including concept development, prototyping, validation, production launch, and sustaining engineering
  • Partner closely with Electrical, Reliability, Manufacturing, Test, NPI, and supplier teams to develop robust hardware solutions
  • Solve challenging environmental durability problems involving corrosion, outdoor deployment, thermal extremes, and vibration-heavy operating conditions
  • Lead root-cause investigations for field and test failures and drive corrective actions into production
  • Mentor engineers through design reviews and technical leadership on complex problems
  • Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • 12+ years of experience designing electromechanical hardware systems
  • Proven experience designing electrical or electronic enclosures through production release
  • Strong background in sheet metal design and mechanical-electrical integration
  • Experience packaging electrical components such as fuses, contactors, relays, PCBAs, busbars, cables, connectors.
  • Experience in designing systems such as inverters, controllers, fuse systems, batteries, or other power electronics. 
  • Understanding of thermal management, vibration, environmental durability, grounding, creepage/clearance, and EMI-related packaging constraints
  • Experience supporting validation, testing, manufacturing launch, and sustaining engineering
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks and PLM systems
  • Preferred Qualications

  • Busbar design experience
  • HV power systems experience
  • Cable harness and routing design experience
  • Experience with corrosive or outdoor deployment environments
  • Familiarity with FEA tools such as Ansys
  • Background in EVs, power electronics, energy systems, industrial equipment, or ruggedized hardware systems

  • Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to positions unless they meet every listed requirement. At Mainspring, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, flexible, and collaborative environment, so if you want to help us transition the world to clean and affordable electricity, and don’t meet all posted requirements for a particular role, we’d still love to hear from you. Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough to shift responsibilities for the right person, or otherwise identify open or upcoming roles that may better fit your professional background.
