Job Title : Senior Mechanical Engineer

Job Description :

Trystar is at the forefront of delivering innovative power solutions, built on a foundation of safety, integrity, and customer focus. As we continue to grow and scale, we are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer who is not only technically strong, but also a force multiplier – someone who elevates the performance of the entire team through mentorship, process improvement, and scalable engineering solutions across Trystar’s diverse product portfolio.

This position will play a critical role in developing accurate, well-defined engineering solutions for complex customer requests, ensuring that high-value custom projects move smoothly through the quoting and order process. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will work closely with Sales, Applications, Engineering, and manufacturing to translate unique customer requirements into feasible, manufacturable designs while maintaining efficiency, accuracy, and standardization.

Our cutting-edge headquarters in Faribault, MN is partially solar- and wind-powered by our own microgrid! You’ll find that we’re also pushing boundaries across the country at our additional facilities in Troy, MI; Houston, TX; Merrimack, NH; Burnsville, MN; Murfreesboro, TN; Waukesha, WI; & in Montreal, Canada. Together, we are Trystar, where we power the future and nurture innovation for a brighter tomorrow.

Why Join Trystar?

  • Be a key technical resource for complex, high-value customer projects that require deep electrical expertise and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Improve the accuracy and efficiency of the custom quoting process, helping Trystar scale without increasing lead times or engineering bottlenecks.
  • Work on a wide range of power distribution products, from switchgear and load banks to docking stations and battery storage solutions.

We are looking for people who believe in our guiding principles and values of :

  • Safety – We believe everyone should leave Trystar facilities in the same or better condition than when they arrived.
  • Integrity – We’re honest, transparent, and committed to doing what’s right.
  • Customer focus – We have relentless focus on our customers and their success.
  • Right with speed – We use good judgement, make thoughtful decisions quickly, and execute them with purpose and intensity.
  • Play for each other – We’re a team. We show up for each other and we know that through teamwork we achieve greatness.
  • Champion change – We know adaptation and improvement are requirements to survive and to thrive.
  • Enjoy the journey – We create an environment where our team feels appreciated and has fun along the way.
  • In this role you will get to :

  • Design custom power distribution equipment following UL 1008, UL 508, UL 891 and UL 1558 standards.
  • Support and lead the custom quoting and order process, ensuring technical feasibility, manufacturability, and compliance with UL standards and customer specifications.
  • Provide mechanical engineering expertise across a wide range of Trystar products, ensuring custom designs align with best practice and production capabilities.
  • Refine and document quoting processes to improve efficiency and reduce engineering cycle time for custom orders.
  • Collaborate with Sales, offering owners, application engineers, and manufacturing to bridge the gap between customer requirements and practical, buildable solutions.
  • Identify common customizations and work toward streamlining configurations to improve quoting speed and accuracy.
  • Drive impact beyond individual contributions by enabling others to move faster, make better decisions, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • Act as a technical mentor to engineers and sales team members, helping improve internal understanding of mechanical design principles and complex power distribution solutions.
  • Continuously improve processes to reduce rework, enhance design efficiency, and improve order accuracy.
  • Job Requirements : BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably for custom-engineered power distribution and electromechanical system design.
  • Proficiency with mechanical design software such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
  • Ability to interpret customer specifications and site requirements to create accurate mechanical solutions.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to balance customer customization with standardization for efficiency.
  • Experience defining mechanical specifications and component layout for power distribution offerings including switchgear, switchboards, transfer switches, load banks, and Docking stations.
  • Experience with creation of detailed technical product documentation to support product manufacturing, functional testing, certification testing, and customer requests.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to design accuracy.
  • Curiosity and initiative to explore new technologies, solve problems independently, and continuously improve designs and processes.
  • Understanding and application of mechanical design best practice, including safety, manufacturability, and compliance with relevant codes and standards.
  • Ability to identify inefficiencies and drive continuous improvement in engineering workflows, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience improving engineering efficiency through automation, modularization, or process standardization.
  • ERP, PLM, and Engineering Vault experience for managing mechanical design documentation and BOM.
  • Familiarity with standards such as UL 1008, UL 508, UL 891 and UL 1558.
  • Project management experience, including the ability to lead cross-functional teams, track project timelines, and ensure deliverables are met on schedule.
  • Strong leadership skills, with a proven ability to mentor engineers and collaborate across multiple departments.
  • Experience leading or contributing to continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Kaizen events, process audits, design standardization)
  • Familiarity with design for reliability, design for testability, design for manufacturability (DFM), and Design for Safety (DFS)
  • Exposure to root cause analysis and corrective action processes related to mechanical design or production issues.
  • Interest in emerging technologies in power distribution, energy storage, or smart grid systems.
  • Proven ability to act as a technical multiplier – improving team velocity through reusable tools, documentation, or mentoring.
