Provide end-to-end leadership for mechanical engineering and thermal systems of power electronics products and integrated systems, ensuring robust mechanical architecture, effective thermal management, environmental protection, manufacturability, and lifecycle reliability across high-power, high-density electrical platforms (Solar Inverters, BESS/PCS, EV Chargers, Electrolysers, and Industrial Power Electronics products.) Key Responsibilities Mechanical & Thermal Architecture Leadership Define mechanical system architecture for: Solar Inverters (String & Central) BESS / PCS Cabinets & Containers EV Chargers (AC, DC Fast, Ultra-Fast) Electrolyser Power Supply Systems and other industrial PE products Own thermal management strategy: Natural & forced air cooling Liquid cooling (cold plate, immersion where applicable) Heat exchanger and airflow optimization Define enclosure concepts, IP ratings, corrosion protection, and seismic/wind load compliance. Product Engineering & Execution Lead teams covering: Mechanical Design & CAD Thermal & CFD Engineering Structural & Sheet-Metal Design Packaging & Industrial Design Establish mechanical design standards, guidelines, and review processes. Drive power density improvements through optimized packaging. Ensure design trade-offs between cost, thermal performance, reliability, acoustics, and serviceability. Product Development Lifecycle Ownership Own mechanical development across: Requirements Concept Detailed Design Prototype Validation Production Implement V-Model / Stage-Gate / APQP processes. Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Serviceability (DFS). Lead value engineering and cost-reduction initiatives. Thermal, Reliability & Environmental Validation Own thermal validation plans (steady-state, transient, derating analysis). Drive CFD simulations and correlation with physical testing. Ensure compliance with: Temperature rise limits Noise & vibration requirements Environmental tests (IP, salt mist, humidity, dust) Manufacturing, Quality & Field Support Support NPI, pilot builds, and production ramp-up. Drive mechanical failure analysis, field issue RCA, and corrective actions. Work with supply chain on: Vendor qualification Localization & alternate sourcing Tooling and fixture development Improve yield, assembly time, and cost in production. Cross-Functional & Business Engagement Work closely with: Electrical & Power Electronics Engineering Systems & Controls Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain Act as mechanical authority in customer and certification discussions. Support pre-sales and customization efforts. Build and mentor a high-performance mechanical engineering organization. Education BE / BTech in Mechanical Engineering MTech / MS preferred Experience 15+ years in mechanical engineering for power electronics or industrial products Proven leadership in high-power, thermally constrained systems Experience from concept to mass production environments Mechanical Design, Thermal Engineering, Packaging & Validation Should have handled team of mechanical design Should have experience in Solar Inverter & PCS ,BESS Container Manufacturers EV Charger OEMs and Industrial Power Electronics Companies.
