Mechanical Engineer

Cindavi
Naperville, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 10/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/15/2026

This is your opportunity to own meaningful automation projects and build toward bigger engineering impact.


About the Position:

We are hiring a Mechanical Engineer II to help design and deliver the automated material-handling systems behind high-performing warehouse and fulfillment operations.


This is a high-impact opportunity for an engineer who understands conveyors, system integration, and the satisfaction of seeing a design become a working solution. You will take ownership of meaningful project components, collaborate with a close-knit engineering team, and help turn complex operational challenges into reliable automation systems.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design mechanical subsystems for automated material-handling projects, including high-stroke conveyors, mezzanines, support structures, and related equipment.
  • •Create accurate mechanical layouts, drawings, calculations, technical documentation, and material-flow diagrams using 2D and 3D CAD tools.
  • Own smaller projects and project components, typically in the $500K-$1M range, while building the foundation to take on larger work over time.
  • Partner with senior engineers, sales, vendors, customers, and cross-functional engineering teams to bring solutions from concept through integration.
  • Support equipment selection, vendor coordination, project planning, risk identification, site installation, commissioning, and technical troubleshooting.
  • Help improve engineering tools, standards, and processes while continuing to build your expertise in warehouse automation.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
  • Two to five years of practical mechanical engineering experience, ideally in material handling, industrial automation, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, or automated storage.
  • Strong 2D and 3D CAD capability. AutoCAD experience is preferred, but strong SolidWorks or comparable modeling experience is welcome.
  • A working understanding of system integration, mechanical layouts, statics, dynamics, GD&T, equipment specifications, and vendor collaboration.
  • The ability to manage assigned project components independently, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.


If you are ready to grow your career in material handling and make a visible impact on complex automation projects, apply today.
