Job Description
Precision Power Solutions (PPS) is a specialized division of EnerSys—a global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications. PPS focuses on cutting-edge energy solutions for the aerospace, defense, and medical industries. As we continue to grow, we're looking for individuals who share a passion for these industries and want to be part of an innovative, dynamic team.
Certain positions at EnerSys Advanced Systems require access to information or technology that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and other U.S. government security regulations. Candidates for these positions should be a "U.S. Person" under ITAR (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or a refugee/asylee) and/or otherwise comply with ITAR requirements for access rights to be considered for a position.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities Essential Duties & Responsibilities Lead the mechanical design and development of complex products and systems from concept through production using advanced CAD software, including Autodesk Inventor, while ensuring compliance with ASME standards and engineering best practices. Serve as the technical lead on new product development initiatives, providing engineering guidance, reviewing designs, resolving technical challenges, and mentoring junior engineers throughout the product development lifecycle. Develop detailed 3D models, engineering drawings, assemblies, tolerance analyses, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) required for manufacturing, testing, and customer deliverables. Perform and oversee engineering analyses including finite element analysis (FEA), structural analysis, thermal modeling, vibration analysis, reliability assessments, and other simulation methods to validate design performance. Lead design reviews, engineering risk assessments, and failure investigations to ensure products meet performance, reliability, manufacturability, and quality objectives. Drive rapid prototyping efforts, coordinate laboratory and field testing, evaluate test data, and implement design improvements based on engineering analysis and customer feedback. Collaborate closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, and Quality teams to optimize products for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), cost, serviceability, and production scalability. Partner with suppliers and external engineering resources to evaluate components, resolve technical issues, and improve supplier performance related to quality, manufacturability, and delivery. Interface directly with customers to understand technical requirements, present engineering concepts, support design reviews, and resolve complex technical issues. Develop and maintain comprehensive engineering documentation including technical specifications, design reports, engineering change documentation (ECOs), validation reports, manufacturing instructions, and technical manuals. Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards, military specifications, customer requirements, and regulatory requirements throughout the product development process. Identify opportunities for new technologies, materials, manufacturing methods, and engineering tools that improve product performance, reliability, quality, and cost competitiveness. Provide technical mentorship and coaching to engineers and designers by reviewing work, sharing best practices, and promoting engineering excellence across the organization. Support proposal development, cost estimating, technical planning, and strategic engineering initiatives as required. Qualifications Required Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline. 8+ years of progressive mechanical design and product development experience in a manufacturing environment. Demonstrated experience leading complex mechanical design projects from concept through production release. Expert proficiency with Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or equivalent 3D CAD software.
