Essential Functions:
- Design and develop enclosures for multilevel converter systems ensuring structural integrity protection from environmental factors and compliance with safety standards such as IP ratings and IEC guidelines.
- Engineer cooling systems including liquid cooling (e.g. water-glycol loops) or air-cooling solutions (e.g. forced convection with heat sinks or fans) tailored for high-power modules to manage thermal loads and prevent overheating.
- Lead mechanical integration efforts coordinating the assembly of components like converters capacitors and switches into cohesive systems while optimizing for space weight and manufacturability.
- Ensure system reliability under environmental stresses such as temperature extremes humidity vibration and shock through stress analysis material selection and accelerated life testing.
- Perform thermal simulations and modeling using tools like ANSYS COMSOL or SolidWorks Flow Simulation to predict heat dissipation airflow patterns and temperature distributions in system prototypes.
- Collaborate with power electronics and control systems teams to align mechanical designs with electrical requirements addressing issues like thermal expansion electromagnetic shielding and modular scalability.
- Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for mechanical and thermal aspects implementing design improvements to enhance longevity and fault tolerance in field deployments.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation including CAD drawings thermal reports and assembly instructions for internal teams and regulatory approvals.
- Support internal audits and enforce adherence to documented policies and procedures to uphold quality of designs.
- Support prototyping testing and validation phases by overseeing mechanical assembly thermal cycling tests and environmental chamber evaluations to verify design performance.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering Thermal Engineering or a related field.
- At least 5 years of professional experience in mechanical design and thermal management preferably in power electronics high-voltage systems or industrial equipment.
- Proven expertise in designing enclosures cooling systems (liquid or air-based) and mechanical integration for high-power applications.
- Strong proficiency in CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks AutoCAD) and thermal simulation tools (e.g. ANSYS Fluent).
- Solid understanding of environmental stress factors and reliability engineering principles including vibration analysis and material science for harsh conditions.
- Experience with prototyping testing and integration of mechanical systems in multidisciplinary projects.
- Excellent problem-solving skills attention to detail and the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
- Strong communication skills for documenting designs and presenting technical findings.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Masters or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Thermal Sciences or Mechatronics.
- 7 years of experience including work on HVDC FACTS devices or similar high-power converter systems in grid or renewable energy sectors.
- Familiarity with advanced cooling technologies such as phase-change materials or hybrid cooling systems and standards like IEEE or IEC for thermal management.
- Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) for structural and thermal simulations and knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
- Proficiency in additional tools like MATLAB for thermal modeling or LabVIEW for test automation.
- Knowledge of sustainable design practices including lightweight materials and energy-efficient cooling for eco-friendly applications.
