Mechanical Design Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop mechanical systems from concept through production

• Combine hands-on development with disciplined engineering practices, including design reviews, validation testing, and clear documentation to ensure quality and repeatability

• Build and test prototypes in-house (and sometimes in the field)

• Solving real-world engineering problems under real constraints

• Perform analysis (FEA, fatigue, motion) to validate designs

• Work cross-functionally with customers, controls, and manufacturing teams

• Investigate failures and improve designs based on real performance

• Support installations and testing at customer sites when needed (~10%)

What We’re Looking For

• 3 years of hands-on mechanical design / R&D experience

• Strong fundamentals in structures, materials, and motion systems

• Experience designing for manufacturability (not just theory)

• Proficient in 3D CAD software, SolidWorks, Catia, Inventor (preferred)

• Experience with PDM software (Autodesk Vault preferred)

• Comfortable being hands-on in the shop and in the field

• Someone who takes ownership and pushes projects forward

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar

• Experience with APQP processes, validation plans, and FMEA

• Knowledge of machining, casting, welding, and additive manufacturing

• Experience with conveyors and/or magnetics

• Strong understanding of real-world mechanical system design, including tolerances, materials, fasteners, and fabrication

Bonus Points

• Experience with automation, robotics, or heavy equipment

• Background in dynamic systems or vibration analysis

• Experience working directly with manufacturing teams

• Understanding of control systems and motion feedback

• Understanding of program languages such as Python, VBA, or iLogic

• Experience with parametric configurators
