[Hiring] Mechanical Design Engineer @Somewhere

Role Description

This role owns the hands-on design and engineering validation behind our hardware, plus the project-level execution that gets those products specified onto solar and storage sites. It is a builder's seat, not a review seat:

• Develop and modify 3D models in Autodesk Inventor.
• Produce the 2D and installation drawings that manufacturing and EPC field teams rely on.
• Run FEA and CFD simulations to prove out structural and thermal performance.
• Perform project takeoffs in AutoCAD for new and existing solar farms.
• Translate project specifications into accurate quantities and drawings that feed quoting and proposals.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering field.
• Hands-on proficiency in Autodesk Inventor — creating new 3D models and modifying existing ones, not just reviewing them.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D drafting and performing project takeoffs.
• Demonstrated experience performing FEA (structural) and CFD (fluid / thermal) simulations.
• Experience creating and annotating manufacturing and installation drawings from 3D models.
• Ability to read and interpret technical specifications and engineering drawings independently.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Able to work fully remotely on an 11:00 PM – 8:00 AM PHT schedule to align with North American operations.

Requirements

• Experience in solar / renewable energy, utility-scale solar, or battery energy storage (BESS).
• Exposure to EPC workflows and utility-scale project execution.
• Familiarity with structural hardware, metal fabrication, or cable management systems.
• Experience with PDM / PLM systems and structured engineering documentation or change control.
• Working knowledge of drafting standards and GD&T (geometric dimensioning and tolerancing).

Benefits

• Work on award-winning, patented technology shaping utility-scale solar and energy storage.
• Direct exposure to real product development and projects with the top EPCs in North America.
• Fully remote role within an established, international engineering team.
