Senior Mechanical Engineer in Pine Bluff
Energy Jobline ZR, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, United States, 71603
Position Summary
The Mechanical Engineer II will be responsible for the mechanical design and development of distribution transformers in compliance with IEEE, CSA, and customer specifications. The role involves preparation and review of detailed designs and calculations in accordance with applicable standards and manufacturing constraints, ensuring structural and thermal requirements unique to transformer applications.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop and review mechanical specifications for distribution transformers, ensuring compliance with customer requirements.
Develop mechanical designs for distribution transformers including tank, core‑coil frame assemblies, cooling systems, lifting/handling features, etc. for custom and non‑standard configurations.
Perform mechanical calculations such as structural strength for short circuit forces, thermal performance, and tolerance stack‑ups.
Verify bushing locations, terminal clearances and overall component and accessory layouts.
Utilize engineering software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidEdge, or proprietary transformer design tools) for mechanical design, modeling and analysis.
Prepare and review manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and 3‑D CAD models.
Participate in product development and improvement initiatives to maintain market competitiveness of company products and solutions.
Interpret and apply relevant industry standards (IEEE, ASTM and CSA) to ensure compliance.
Participate in design reviews, technical discussions with customers, and root cause analysis of production issues.
Contribute to standardization of transformer designs and development of design tools, templates, and best practices.
Stay updated on evolving industry standards, participating in industrial committees and technical events as required.
Support certification and testing requirements such as pressure/rupture/vacuum testing, tamper‑proof/enclosure integrity testing, dielectric, short‑circuit and arc‑fault testing, and thermal performance validation.
Collaborate with manufacturing, test, and quality teams to resolve non‑conformances, implement engineering changes, and validate design improvements.
Provide technical support to manufacturing and assembly teams, including weld specifications, component/material selection, and fit‑up requirements to optimize transformer performance, efficiency, and cost.
Participate in process improvement initiatives to enhance departmental efficiencies and output quality, supporting prototype builds, production, and customer testing as required.
Requirements Education
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
Experience
7+ years of experience in design engineering of electrical distribution equipment, preferably within a transformer manufacturing environment.
Skills and Competencies
Proficiency in engineering design and analysis tools (CAD, FEA, simulation software, etc.) and productivity and ERP software.
Proficiency in distribution transformer design, associated manufacturing processes, and application of relevant industry standards such as ANSI, ASTM, IEEE, and CSA.
Strong understanding of transformer operating principles and sheet metal fabrication including tank design and thermal cooling.
Understanding of electrical wiring and related systems.
Strong project management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and vice versa.
Ability to work independently and in diverse teams, collaborating across departments and disciplines as needed.
Benefits Medical, Dental, Life, 401k, Vacation Pay.
