Design Engineer
JOB SUMMARY The Technology & Breakthrough Innovation (T&BI) team drives the creation of new product solutions for S&C's customers by exploiting new technologies and enabling breakthrough product development for the fast-evolving, intelligent power grid.
This role supports the development and production of Vacuum Interrupter technologies using specialized prototyping and testing laboratories that lead to new S&C breakthrough products.
As an experienced mechanical engineer, you will have to opportunity to design devices that interrupt powerful short-circuits, collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to specify materials and manufacturing processes, and analyze assemblies that experience a dramatic range of electrical, mechanical, and environmental scenarios.
The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:
Actively collaborating with a team that conceptualizes, designs, prototypes and tests unique interrupters that meet required switchgear specifications and relevant industry standards.
Proposes novel design elements that have the potential for IP protection.
Collaborating with switchgear engineers to trade-off and agree performance attributes at the interfaces between the switchgear and interrupter.
Support ongoing production of vacuum interrupters.
Work with analytical labs and quality control to prevent and debug production issues.
Directing investigations to seek root causes for design performance using formal problem-solving techniques.
Pursuing assignments with a can do attitude and sense of urgency.
Executing rapid design-build-test cycles with prototype parts made from stainless steel, copper alloys, and ceramic components.
Specifying and documenting the mechanical and manufacturing aspects of a design from conceptualization to production stability.
Creating accurate visual representations include 3-D models and drawings of components and assemblies.
Developing, overseeing, and reporting test programs to verify the mechanical and/or electrical integrity of a design.
To select this job as one of interest to you, at a minimum, you must have the following:
MS or higher in Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or Applied Physics Minimum 5 years of working independently in product development as well contributing to multi-disciplinary new product teams.
Basic knowledge of electric and magnetic fields and electrical breakdown in vacuum Proven track record of substantive contributions, both analytical and conceptual, to new product development and successful commercialization.
Advanced software skills:
3D CAD and engineering drawings, structural finite element analysis, Excel, Minitab or statistical analysis Major plus if you have expertise in vacuum braze joints, materials, and issues that arise from multiple materials being involved in assemblies that traverse hundreds of degrees Celsius.
Relevant work
Experience:
Five plus years applying mechanical engineering fundamentals to new product development, including designing physical assemblies, mechanical analysis, prototyping designs, and using customized test programs to probe the performance of the design.
In 1909, S&C Electric Company transformed the delivery of safe, reliable electricity with the invention of the Liquid Power Fuse.
Today, as the world faces extreme weather events and the demand for electricity grows, S&C continues to innovate and advance the electrical grid, ensuring reliable and resilient power for homes, communities, and critical infrastructure around the world.
With a diverse, global workforce and core values around integrity, safety, and quality, S&C is a trusted industry leader and top workplace that offers meaningful careers to more than 3,500 team members.
As a people-first organization, S&C is committed to fostering an inclusive and collaborative workplace where team members advance their careers through robust talent-development programs and involved leadership.
S&C's deeply rooted belief diversity fosters greater creativity, innovation, and success guides the company to advance and sustain a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace culture.
