Mechanical Design Engineer

Now Hiring: Full-time Design/Mechanical Engineer II in Ravenna, Ohio

SunWize Power & Battery delivers rugged, reliable, off-grid and hybrid power systems that keep critical infrastructure running no matter the environment. We're growing, and we're looking for a Design/Mechanical Engineer II who's excited to design equipment that thrives in the field, not just in the CAD model. If you're an early-career mechanical engineer who loves system integration, thrives in cross-disciplinary design, and wants to develop real-world power solutions used across telecom, transportation, security, and remote infrastructure, this is your next step.

What You'll Do

Design and Integration

· Develop mechanical assemblies and enclosures for integrated solar, battery, control, and communication systems.

· Create 3D CAD models, drawings, and layouts for sheet metal, machined parts, wiring harnesses, mounting hardware, and environmental protection features.

· Ensure proper interfaces, manufacturability, serviceability, and robust structural/thermal performance.

· Collaborate with electrical and systems engineers to deliver cohesive, field-ready designs.

· Perform tolerance analysis, fit checks, trade studies, and design reviews.

Testing, Validation and Troubleshooting

· Support structural, vibration, ingress protection, and thermal testing.

· Assist in prototyping troubleshooting, production support, and field-issue root cause analysis.

· Help develop test plans and documentation to validate mechanical requirements.

Documentation and Continuous Improvement

· Produce clear and detailed documentation: drawings, BOMs, exploded views, installation guides, and configuration records.

· Participate in Lean/quality initiatives to enhance design consistency, speed, and manufacturability.

· Support development of mechanical design standards and best practices.

· Work with Purchasing to coordinate with vendors and track deliverables.

Training and Growth

· Develop systems engineering capabilities: requirements traceability, system block diagrams, verification and validation planning, configuration management, and change control.

· Engage in cross-disciplinary design reviews, internal training, and customer/vendor meetings.

· Contribute to proposals and cost estimates for integrated system solutions.

What You Bring

· BS in Mechanical Engineering (or related field).

· 1–3 years of experience in mechanical design, electromechanical systems, or product development (internships/co-ops included).

· Proficiency in Inventor, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar CAD tools.

· Familiarity with sheet metal design, machining, enclosure design, and manufacturing methods.

· Understanding of thermal management, mechanical integration, and product packaging.

· Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.

This role is designed to grow with you. As you gain experience, you'll shift from supporting component-level design to helping lead new product development, shaping next-generation SunWize power and energy platforms.
