Mechanical Team Leader – ATE Department

Description:

SolarEdge is looking for an experienced Mechanical Team Leader to join our Automated Test Equipment (ATE) department, part of the Core Technologies group. You will lead a team of mechanical engineers responsible for developing robust, production-grade mechanical solutions that support our global manufacturing lines — from in-house tester PCB design through to fully integrated automated test stations.

What you will be doing:

• Lead and mentor a team of mechanical engineers focused on ATE mechanical development
• Own end-to-end design and delivery of test fixtures, harnesses, jigs, and pneumatic automatic testing stations for production lines
• Drive in-house tester PCB mechanical design, working shoulder to shoulder with ATE electrical engineers
• Work closely with ATE electrical, software, and test engineers to deliver fully integrated test solutions
• Drive mechanical designs from concept through prototype, validation, and mass production release
• Collaborate with manufacturing sites globally to ensure solutions meet production requirements for reliability, repeatability, and maintainability
• Lead prototype assembly activities and support production bring-up

Your team activities will include:

• Mechanical design of test fixtures and jigs for PCB and inverter testing
• Design and integration of pneumatic and electromechanical automated testing stations
• PCB mechanical design for in-house tester boards, including enclosure and thermal considerations
• Cable harness design and documentation for test systems
• Preparation of full production packages: mechanical drawings, BOMs, PDM/PLM releases
• Hands-on support during station installation and validation at production facilities

• B.Sc. or higher in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized institution
• 5–10 years of hands-on mechanical design experience
• At least 2–3 years in a team lead or tech-lead role
• Proven experience designing production fixtures, jigs, or automated test equipment — Must
• Experience in PCB mechanical design, working in collaboration with electrical engineers — Must
• Experience with pneumatic systems design and integration — Advantage
• Experience with cable harness and electromechanical assembly design — Advantage
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software — Must (SolidWorks — strong advantage)
• Experience with PDM/PLM and ERP systems — Advantage
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with electrical and software engineers
• Ability to manage multiple projects in parallel in a fast-paced environment
• Fluent English — written and spoken
