RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce's client is seeking a Mechanical Design Lead to own and drive the mechanical design of modular power systems, including E-Houses and electrical skids, supporting large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure projects. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for guiding mechanical design from early concept through execution. This position is critical to the continued expansion of modular product offerings, particularly skid-based and E-House solutions supporting data center and high-reliability power environments. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in power-related mechanical design, strong ownership of scope, and the ability to balance leadership with hands-on technical contribution.

Key Responsibilities:
* Partners closely with proposal engineering to support technical scope definition, layout development, and design inputs required for accurate quoting and project execution
* Manage a small team of engineers and designers while also coordinating with third-party design partners as needed
* Leading mechanical design efforts
* Mentoring and guiding junior engineers
* Ensuring design quality and consistency
* Collaborating across engineering, proposal, and external partners to deliver robust modular power solutions

REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience
* 8+ years of mechanical design experience with modular power systems, industrial buildings, or skid-mounted equipment (flexible to ~6 years for strong candidates)
* Strong experience using SolidWorks for mechanical design and layout
* Proven ability to lead mechanical design from concept through detailed execution
* Experience managing or mentoring small technical teams

Demonstrated ownership of mechanical scope for at least two of the following:
* E-Houses or modular electrical buildings
* Power Distribution Centers (PDCs)
* Medium- or Low-Voltage skids
* UPS plants
* Data center power modules

Preferred Qualifications:
* Professional Engineer (PE) license or actively pursuing licensure
* Experience with data center modular power platforms, including redundancy, uptime, and reliability considerations
* Familiarity with coordination across electrical, structural, and manufacturing disciplines
* Strong collaboration skills and comfort working in fast-growing, evolving environments
