What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Design Engineer position at iRiS Recruiting Solutions?
Most Mechanical Design Engineer roles stop at the CAD screen.
This one doesn’t.
Your designs will actually get built, installed, and used in real manufacturing environments across North America. You’ll work directly with fabrication, assembly, and integration teams to solve real production challenges — not just release drawings and move on.
📍 Greater Detroit Area
What you’ll be designing:
⚙️ Custom automation equipment
🤖 Robotic workcells & tooling
🔩 Fixtures, weldments, and fabricated assemblies
📐 End-of-arm tooling & process carriers
What makes this different:
• High variety of custom projects
• Direct customer interaction and project ownership
• Hands-on engineering culture
• Opportunity to see projects from concept → build → production floor
• Strong collaboration between engineering and fabrication teams
Looking for engineers with:
✔️ 2–7 years of mechanical design experience
✔️ Strong SolidWorks skills
✔️ GD&T experience (ASME Y14.5)
✔️ Automation, tooling, or manufacturing equipment background
