Mechanical Engineer

GTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems.

 

We fabricate custom designed, purpose-built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in-house, delivering a true turn-key product to our customers. Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.

 

GTI Fabrication is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems and subsystems for modular infrastructure products. This individual will be responsible for translating system requirements into robust, manufacturable mechanical designs while providing technical leadership throughout the product lifecycle.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will own major mechanical subsystems from concept through production release, supporting engineering analysis, design reviews, manufacturing integration, supplier collaboration, and continuous product improvement. This role requires a hands-on engineer capable of balancing performance, safety, compliance, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost considerations while working cross-functionally across engineering, operations, and supply chain teams.

Mechanical Design & Product Development

• Lead the design and development of major mechanical subsystems including:
  • Enclosures
  • Structural assemblies
  • Thermal and HVAC systems
  • Ducting and airflow systems
  • Piping systems
  • Equipment mounting structures
  • Service access features
  • Translate system-level requirements into detailed mechanical designs and engineering documentation.
  • Define interfaces, constraints, design assumptions, and acceptance criteria.
  • Drive simplification, modularization, and standardization efforts to improve manufacturability and product reliability.
  • Ensure designs meet performance, safety, quality, and compliance requirements.

  Engineering Analysis & Validation

  • Perform and review engineering analyses including:
    • Structural analysis
    • Vibration analysis
    • Thermal analysis
    • Fatigue analysis
    • Sealing and ingress protection evaluations
    • Transportation and lifting assessments
    • Establish appropriate design margins and verification approaches.
    • Develop engineering justification packages supporting design decisions and product validation activities.

    Manufacturing & Product Support

    • Partner closely with Manufacturing, Quality, NPI, and Supply Chain teams to ensure designs are producible and repeatable.
    • Create and review detailed engineering drawings, specifications, BOMs, and release documentation.
    • Support engineering change management activities, including impact assessments and implementation plans.
    • Resolve manufacturing, assembly, commissioning, and field-related mechanical issues.
    • Maintain configuration control and as-built accuracy through disciplined revision management practices.

    Technical Leadership

    • Lead mechanical design reviews and provide technical guidance across engineering teams.
    • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers in engineering best practices, documentation standards, and problem-solving methodologies.
    • Support development of engineering standards, design guides, reusable modules, and best practices.
    • Drive root cause investigations and corrective actions for mechanical failures and quality issues.
    • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement across products and engineering processes.

    Cross-Functional Collaboration

    • Collaborate with:
      • Systems Engineering on requirements, interfaces, and verification activities
      • Electrical Engineering on penetrations, cable routing, mounting schemes, and service access
      • Structural Engineering on load paths and structural integration
      • Manufacturing Engineering on production readiness and process improvements
      • Suppliers and Procurement on technical reviews, specifications, and manufacturability concerns
      • Support successful product execution from concept through deployment and sustaining engineering.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.

• 3+ years of mechanical design experience supporting industrial, energy, modular, or engineered-to-order products.

• Strong experience designing complex mechanical assemblies, structures, enclosures, or integrated equipment platforms.

• Proficiency with 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks.

• Experience creating manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation.

• Working knowledge of engineering analysis methods including structural, thermal, and vibration analysis.

• Experience supporting products through manufacturing, testing, installation, and field support.

• Strong root cause analysis and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing modular infrastructure, power generation systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), industrial equipment, or data center infrastructure.

• Experience with FEA, CFD, and thermal analysis tools.

• Familiarity with fabrication, welding, sheet metal, and structural steel design.

• Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and production ramp activities.

• Prior experience mentoring engineers and leading technical reviews.
