Principal Mechanical Design Engineer

JOB REQUIREMENTS: . Title: Principal Mechanical Design Engineer - Electrical Equipment Enclosures Company: Global Power Components - www.globalpowercomponents.com Location: Milwaukee, WI (onsite 5-days/week) Hire Type: Direct Hire Position Summary: Global Power Components is seeking a Principal Mechanical Design Engineer to provide expert technical leadership for the mechanical design and analysis of electrical power distribution enclosures. This role will own enclosure integrity, short-circuit withstand, thermal management, simulation, and design validation. The engineer will work directly with product development, certification, and manufacturing teams to turn new equipment concepts into safe, repeatable, production-ready designs. Key Responsibilities: Enclosure Design and Technical Ownership Own the structural and mechanical design of enclosures, frames, doors, covers, barriers, mounting structures, bus supports, and bracing systems for electrical power distribution equipment. Translate electrical ratings, short-circuit requirements, thermal loads, environmental requirements, and manufacturing constraints into robust mechanical designs. Establish structural and thermal design criteria, safety margins, calculation methods, and reusable engineering standards across product families. Make material, thickness, joining, fastening, gasketing, and reinforcement decisions based on analysis, testing, cost, and manufacturability. Simulation, Analysis, and Test Confidence Lead finite element analysis of short-circuit forces, structural loading, stress, deformation, vibration, and dynamic response using ANSYS or comparable simulation software. Lead thermal and airflow analysis to predict heat rise, hot spots, ventilation performance, and component or bus temperature limits. Develop simulation models that represent actual enclosure construction, joints, supports, materials, bus structures, and boundary conditions. Correlate simulation results with prototype and laboratory test data, then continuously improve model accuracy and design rules. Use analysis to identify design risk before certification testing and recommend changes that improve the probability of passing on the first test. Validation, Certification, and Manufacturing Integration Own the mechanical and thermal portions of verification plans, design reviews, instrumentation, acceptance criteria, and failure analysis. Provide mechanical and thermal technical leadership... For full info follow application link. Global Power Components is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer.
