Control Panel System Architect

Responsibilities: - Drive and lead the control panel roadmap definition and execution, including architecture standardization, design scalability, and implementation across programs to ensure alignment with product requirements, manufacturing readiness, and long-term roadmap goals. - Develop and maintain mechanical designs for control panels, electrical enclosures, racks and hinges, control panel overlay, and integrated electromechanical systems supporting engineering validation and manufacturing activities. - Design and implement mechanical layouts, sheet metal structures, mounting systems, cable routing features, and serviceability features for industrial and engineering applications. - Perform 3D CAD modeling, detailed drawing creation, tolerance analysis, and design documentation for mechanical assemblies and production release. - Work closely with electrical, FW, and software engineers to ensure robust mechanical and electromechanical integration across systems. - Support prototype builds, engineering bring-up, debugging, root-cause analysis, and corrective action implementation for mechanical and system-level issues. - Drive DFM/DFA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) improvements to optimize manufacturability, reliability, cost, and serviceability. - Collaborate with suppliers, fabrication vendors, and manufacturing teams on fabrication feasibility, tolerance control, material selection, and quality improvement activities. - Support regulatory and compliance requirements related to mechanical safety, industrial standards, grounding, spacing, environmental considerations, and enclosure protection requirements where applicable. - Develop and maintain technical documentation, BOM, mechanical design guidelines, assembly procedures, validation reports, and engineering references. - Support manufacturing transfer activities including pilot builds, process validation, fixture reviews, and production issue resolution. Education & Experience Recommended: - Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. - Minimum 7-10 years of experience in mechanical engineering, enclosure development, electromechanical product development, or related R&D roles. Experience in control panel mechanical design is preferred. - Experience supporting product development cycles from concept design, prototyping, validation, manufacturing release, and production support. - Experience with sheet metal design, enclosure systems, electromechanical integration, or industrial equipment development is highly preferred.
