What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Design Engineer position at Flexicon Corporation?
The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer (MDE) at Flexicon is a specialized Systems Project Engineer focused on the comprehensive integration of bulk material handling technologies. While Product Development Engineers (PDE) focus on granular component and R&D, and the separate Applications Engineering department provides internal sales support, the MDE owns the technical execution of the full project lifecycle. They are the primary authority on system-level physical integrity, ensuring that the full breadth of Flexicon’s product lines are engineered to function as a unified, site-specific solution. This role is an advanced-level role leading the system integration of major projects and serving as a technical resource for the department.
Essential Functions
- Lead the engineering design and system integration of high-value, complex customer projects.
- Perform advanced simulations to validate system integrity under varied loading conditions.
- Develop and maintain project-specific documentation using current standards (e.g., "Documentation as Code" / Markdown to HTML).
- Proactively resolve technical friction points between Engineering, Controls, Applications, and Manufacturing.
Education and Experience:
- Required: Associate degree or applicable experience
- Preferred: Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (BSME) or related field.
- Experience: 7 years REQUIRED
