What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Engineer position at KamisPro?
The Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and supporting mechanical and electromechanical systems used across new product development, automation, and production environments. This role combines mechanical design expertise with hands-on fabrication knowledge and systems integration skills, ensuring that equipment, components, and assemblies meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
Essential Responsibilities
Design & Development
- Design and develop mechanical and mechatronic systems, assemblies, and components—including mechanisms, fixtures, automation systems, and tooling.
- Apply mechanical engineering principles in combination with electrical, pneumatic, and control elements to create integrated solutions.
- Generate 3D models, detailed drawings, BOMs, and fabrication specifications.
- Develop and prototype custom parts using welding, forming, machining, cutting, and other metal fabrication processes.
- Provide mechanical and mechatronic support throughout all phases of new product development.
Fabrication & Manufacturing Support
- Collaborate with internal and external fabrication teams to ensure manufacturability, proper material selection, and adherence to specifications.
- Provide technical support to production, maintenance, and engineering teams for equipment installation, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
- Improve existing systems through design modifications, component upgrades, and performance optimization.
- Create assembly procedures, test plans, and standard work instructions.
Systems Integration & Testing
- Integrate sensors, actuators, motors, pneumatic systems, and control hardware into mechanical assemblies.
- Execute system testing, debugging, validation, and performance optimization.
- Conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions for mechanical and electromechanical failures.
- Work closely with automation, electrical, and controls engineers to ensure cohesive system functionality.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field.
- Strong mechanical design background with hands-on knowledge of welding, machining, forming, cutting, and standard fabrication practices.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Inventor, or CREO.
- Familiarity with electrical/controls fundamentals (PLC interfaces, sensors, actuators, wiring basics).
- Experience with automation systems, robotics, pneumatics, or electromechanical devices preferred.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, fabrication prints, and schematics.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for mechanical and electromechanical systems.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment and meet deadlines.
- Hands-on aptitude for prototyping, assembly, and testing.
