• Apply deep understanding of metallurgy, polymers, and material properties to improve product performance, longevity, and thermal characteristics.
• Establish, update, and enforce design automation and process assurance systems to maintain consistency and reduce variability in mechanical design outputs.
• Review and approve detailed mechanical drawings, design calculations, and documentation for accuracy and compliance with internal and industry standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Sourcing and Vendor Quality Assurance to qualify suppliers and evaluate materials or components for new or alternative sourcing.
• Participate in design reviews, non-conformance investigations (NCRs), and root cause/corrective action efforts to resolve mechanical and manufacturing issues.

• Collaborate with Safety and Compliance functions to ensure adherence to industry, regulatory, and environmental standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, Master's degree in mechanical engineering preferred. PE is a plus.
• Minimum 15-20 years of experience in thermo-mechanical design of custom electromechanical equipment, with at least 5 years in a senior management or multi-site leadership role.
• Proven background in metallurgy, polymers, material science, or industrial product design from manufacturing, energy, aerospace, rail, or related industries.
• Strong knowledge of FEA/FEM analytical tools, CAD systems, and 3D design platforms (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated success leading engineering teams in a plant, multi plant or global manufacturing environment.

Skills & Attributes

• Expert-level proficiency in CAD design practices, finite element modeling, and mechanical systems analysis.
• Deep technical understanding of materials, thermal performance, stress analysis, and mechanical reliability.
• Hands-on problem solver with a proactive, floor-level approach to engineering challenges.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, able to influence across engineering, operations, and executive leadership.

• Strategic mindset with operational discipline — balancing innovation with manufacturability and cost control.

Why Join Us

At Virginia Transformer, you'll have the opportunity to shape the mechanical engineering vision for North America's leading manufacturer of custom power transformers.
