What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Engineer position at Motion Recruitment?
We're hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer for a full-time opportunity with a growing engineering and manufacturing organization focused on the design and development of precision fluid dispensing and metering systems. This role is ideal for an experienced mechanical engineer with strong hands-on design and analysis experience who wants to work across product development, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and continuous improvement.
You'll take ownership of complex mechanical designs and subassemblies from concept through production while working closely with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams. This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys solving challenging engineering problems, working directly with physical products, and mentoring less experienced engineers. The role provides significant technical ownership and the opportunity to contribute to products used in highly technical and regulated applications.
