What we do...

HindlePower has been designing and manufacturing industrial (non-commercial) battery chargers and dc power systems for the utility industry for over 35 years. Our staff and products serve the power generation and distribution market, switchgear OEMs, power substations, the oil and gas industry, and various transportation maintenance facilities. We are the leaders in our industry and have customers in all 50 states plus additional countries worldwide.

What you'll do...

We are looking for a Mechanical Designer to join our Mechanical Engineering team and support the design, release, and sustainment of industrial battery chargers and dc power systems.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You will work closely with mechanical and electrical engineers, manufacturing, supply chain, and production to develop designs that move efficiently from concept through production and long term support. You will support both new product development and existing product platforms, and because we manufacture everything here, including our own sheet metal, you will see what you design get built.

Design and release

Design and release mechanical components and assemblies for industrial battery chargers and dc power systems
Develop sheet metal enclosures, internal brackets, frames, and panels for power electronics products
Design machined components for products and for internal manufacturing equipment
Design fixtures and tooling to support manufacturing and automation
Apply design for manufacturability principles throughout the design process

Ownership through the lifecycle

Own your designs through concept, release, production support, and sustaining engineering
Produce and maintain accurate manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and documentation
Support production with issue resolution, drawing clarifications, and corrective actions
Contribute to documentation and support activities related to product certifications

Working across the company

Collaborate with suppliers to optimize cost, manufacturability, quality, and lead time
Take part in cross functional design reviews and production meetings
Contribute to continuous improvement work within the Mechanical team

What you bring...

Experience and qualifications

Associate's or bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, mechanical design, or a related field
Five or more years of mechanical design experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment
Two to three or more years of SolidWorks experience
Experience supporting products through the full lifecycle: concept, release, production, sustainment
Working knowledge of manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability
Ability to work from engineering specifications and functional requirements
Sheet metal design is preferred
Experience with products requiring electrical, environmental, or seismic certification is a plus
Familiarity with electrical switchgear or power electronics enclosures is a plus

Tools and systems

SolidWorks, PDM, and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
2D CAD tools such as DraftSight
ERP systems. We use Made2Manage (M2M) and we will train you on ours
Microsoft Office

Candidates selected for an interview should be prepared to share a portfolio of relevant mechanical design work.

Where this goes...

Our product line is growing and the engineering work is growing with it. Beyond the charger platforms, we build integrated systems: battery cabinets, enclosures, and complete dc power packages. That work needs design automation, configurable products, and standardized drawing packages, and there is real room for someone who wants to build that capability rather than just draw to it.

We promote from within whenever we can.

A few things about us...

Our commitment to quality is evident in our highly skilled colleagues and our exceptional approach to customer service. We believe in rewarding hard work and offering competitive compensation, comprehensive health, vision, and dental benefits, along with a 401k plan that includes employer matching and a gain-sharing program.

We are a five-time Top Workplace in the Lehigh Valley and were named one of IndustryWeek's 'Best Plants'. We are proud of our accomplishments and are continually striving to do better.

We value our employees and trust they hold these key characteristics:

Initiative... we see it, we do it

Integrity... decisions are based on looking at the whole picture
Attitude... anything can be done
