Position Overview

The Senior Mechanical Engineer supports the design, development, and production of stainless-steel tanks and related systems. This role requires strong expertise in metal fabrication, pressure vessel design, and process engineering. Experience with semiconductor ultra-clean fabrication standards and sanitary design for pharmaceutical applications is a significant advantage.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Design

• Design and analyze stainless-steel tanks and pressure vessels ensuring ASME code compliance, proper material selection, and welding standards.
• Create and review engineering drawings, 3D models, and supporting documentation.
• Conduct stress analysis, tolerance studies, and design-for-manufacturability evaluations.
• Support and improve CAD modeling practices, design standardization, and engineering workflows.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Operations and Sales to ensure designs meet project requirements, cost targets, and production timelines.
• Provide technical support during fabrication, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting.
• Participate in customer-specific engineering discussions and assist with custom design requirements.

Process & Product Improvement

• Recommend and implement manufacturing improvements to enhance product quality, efficiency, and reliability.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts related to materials, welding processes, and fabrication techniques.
• Support new product development for food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor industries.

Compliance & Regulatory

• Ensure designs meet ISO 9001 standards, safety guidelines, and environmental requirements.
• Working knowledge of CE, SELO, ASME, and related regulations.
• Support documentation related to UN/DOT shipping regulations for hazardous materials and international transport compliance.

Industry-Specific Expertise

• Support design engineering for ultra-pure chemical storage and delivery systems used in semiconductor fabrication.
• Apply cleanroom and contamination-control requirements as needed.
• Utilize sanitary design principles for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• 5 years of experience in metal fabrication, pressure vessels, or industrial equipment manufacturing.
• 2 years of project or people leadership experience.
• Strong understanding of stainless-steel properties, welding processes (TIG/MIG), and ASME pressure vessel standards.
• Proficiency with CAD and 3D modeling; ERP system familiarity is a plus.
• Experience with UN shipping regulations and hazardous-material transport requirements (preferred).
• Familiarity with semiconductor-industry standards and contamination-control requirements (preferred).
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.

What We're Looking For

• Detail-oriented with a commitment to doing things right the first time.
• Solutions-focused and patient when challenges arise.
• Approachable, collaborative, and effective working across departments.
• Self-motivated, ambitious, and eager to grow into an engineering leadership role.
• Resilient and adaptable in a changing environment.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance — self-funded plan with low premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
• 401(k) with Traditional and Roth options — 100% company match on the first 5%.
