What you’ll do:

The Lead Mechanical Engineer - Structural will be responsible for driving the engineering execution of research and development programs for Eaton’s Data Center portfolio . The Lead Engineer will be responsible for the design, analysis, and modification of systems and sub-systems to meet product form, fit, and functional requirements of Eaton's Wrightline Standing HAC Containment Product & Systems in the Data Center portfolio. The Lead Engineer will focus on steel structure design, structural analysis, and technical documentation for Standing HAC containment systems, RapidPOD & SuperPOD for data center white-space infrastructure. This is a lead-level individual contributor role requiring strong analytical rigor, proficiency in structural calculations and applicable design codes, and hands-on experience designing structural systems that support overhead power distribution, cooling, containment, and cable management infrastructure in both existing and new-build data center environments.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and analyze structural systems for data center white-space infrastructure, including power distribution systems, containment systems, cable management solutions, cooling equipment supports, and modular assemblies.
- Perform structural engineering calculations, member sizing, connection design, and load analyses for gravity, seismic, lateral, and energetic loading conditions.
- Develop comprehensive structural calculation packages, including load assessments, deflection checks, anchorage design, and supporting documentation for design reviews and approvals.
- Evaluate complex structural assemblies using analysis tools such as SAP2000 and FEA software, validating results through engineering judgment and hand calculations.
- Assess and modify existing infrastructure for retrofit, upgrade, and capacity expansion projects,



ensuring structural integrity and load-carrying capability.
- Support new product development by collaborating with mechanical and MEP teams, providing structural expertise, risk assessments, design-for-manufacturing recommendations, and test requirements.
- Serve as the structural engineering subject matter expert for customers, contractors, engineers of record, and regulatory authorities by supporting delegated design submittals, technical reviews, project proposals, and site-specific engineering solutions.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution. 8-12 years of experience in product design, structural engineering, or engineering mechanics

Skills:

Strong expertise in structural analysis, structural dynamics, steel structure design, and engineering mechanics , with experience in data center, mission-critical, industrial, or manufacturing environments - specifically overhead support structures, non-building structures, or equipment support platforms is required. Proficiency in SAP2000, LS-DYNA, or equivalent FEA tools , with the ability to validate results through hand calculations.

Working knowledge of Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) .

Master’s degree in Structural Engineering preferred with strong knowledge of steel structures, connection design, or structural dynamics.

Experience designing data center white-space infrastructure , including containment systems, busway and cable tray supports, cooling pipe supports, and related structural assemblies.

Familiarity with AISC Design Guides , HSS connections, torsion, and welded steel design.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Strong problem-solving, process management, and decision-making abilities.

Ability to work effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and collaborate across cross-functional teams.
