Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Celestica is a technology company providing design, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and platform solutions for high-reliability and advanced technology markets. The Staff Engineer, Mechanical Design will lead mechanical architecture, customer requirement synthesis, advanced design, verification, and cross-functional execution for energy infrastructure products. The role also supports proposals, manufacturing alignment, field commissioning, and continuous product improvement.
Responsibilities
- Interface directly with prospective clients to interpret specifications and translate ambiguous requirements into detailed mechanical specifications and Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
- Lead technical scoping for proposals as the central mechanical Subject Matter Expert (SME), ensuring well-defined, executable scopes of work
- Analyze complex system architectures to recommend optimized mechanical solutions balancing performance, weight, cost, and manufacturability
- Design and develop 3D mechanical concepts, enclosures, frame weldments, and sheet metal assemblies using CAD and advanced simulation software (FEA/Thermal)
- Create scalable, standardized mechanical modules that adhere strictly to client standards, company procedures, and global safety regulations
- Formulate and execute comprehensive test plans to qualify mechanical systems and ensure full compliance in target operating environments
- Lead formal design reviews, enforce robust modeling and documentation standards, and perform technical engineering calculations
- Drive Design for Manufacturability/Assembly (DFM/DFA), collaborate with fabricators and vendors, and resolve manufacturing challenges during production runs
- Manage project schedules, resource allocation, and technical deliverables, while mentoring junior design engineers
- Support field commissioning and leverage operational feedback/data to continuously iterate on designs for improved reliability and deployment speed
Skills
- * **CAD & Analysis:** Expertise in SolidWorks; proficient in FEA (Structural & Thermal), Thermal Modeling, Fluidics, and Tolerance Analysis
- * **Materials & Fabrication:** Advanced knowledge of Sheet Metal, Frame Weldments, Machined Parts, Extrusions, Die Castings, Welding, Plastics, and CNC manufacturing processes
- * **Electromechanical Integration:** Hands-on experience with sensors, moving parts, fluid systems, and mechanical automation for physical enclosures
- * **Design Optimization:** Strong application of DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles
- * Hands-on Approach: A "build-to-scale" mindset with a passion for physical prototyping and working directly alongside fabricators on the shop floor
- * Travel: Ability to travel up to 35% to client sites, manufacturing facilities, and field installations for design kick-offs and build reviews
- * 7-10 years of hands-on mechanical design experience, specifically within power infrastructure, smart energy, or modular equipment market segments
- * Proven track record of taking complex mechanical assemblies from initial customer concept to heavy field deployment and commercial production
- * **Required:** Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related technical field
- * **Preferred:** Master of Science (MS) in Engineering or Professional Engineer (PE) license
