Bedrock Attachments is a fast-growing supplier of excavator and heavy equipment attachments across the U.S. We are building a next-generation product line focused on performance, reliability, and real jobsite efficiency.
We’re looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer who understands construction equipment attachments—not just in CAD, but in the field.
🚧 What You’ll Do- Design and improve excavator attachments (grapples, shears, couplers, tilt systems, etc.)
- Optimize structures for strength, weight, and durability under real jobsite conditions
- Work closely with suppliers (primarily overseas) to refine production drawings and QC standards
- Solve real-world issues: wear, hydraulic routing, tolerance stack-ups, failures
- Develop new products for the U.S. market (not just copy—improve)
- Support testing, validation, and iteration
- 5 years experience in construction machinery / attachments / heavy equipment
- Strong understanding of:
- Structural design & welding
- Hydraulics (cylinders, flow, pressure systems)
- Pins, bushings, tolerances, wear components
- Hands-on mindset — you’ve seen equipment in the field, not just on screen
- Experience working with manufacturers (China experience is a plus)
- Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks or similar)
- Experience with:
- Quick couplers / tilt couplers / rotary systems
- Demolition or scrap handling equipment
- Understanding of U.S. market requirements (CAT, Deere, Komatsu compatibility)
- Ability to improve existing designs, not just create new ones
- Build products that actually compete in the U.S. market
- High ownership — your designs go straight to production
- Fast-moving team (no corporate bureaucracy)
- Opportunity to shape a product line from the ground up
