What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Systems Project Engineer position at Process Equipment and Controls?
Lead complex mechanical programs from first sketch to factory floor
As a Senior Mechanical Systems Project Engineer, you’ll be the technical and organizational anchor for high-stakes builds. You’ll guide concepts into manufacturable designs, make decisive calls on tricky tradeoffs, and coach teammates so the whole group levels up.
A day in this role
Your morning might start by refining a model in SolidWorks, running a high-fidelity simulation to validate performance and reliability. Midday, you’re reviewing drawings and prototypes with electrical, software, and manufacturing partners. In the afternoon, you’re mentoring junior and mid-level engineers on best practices, then aligning clients and suppliers on scope, timeline, and budget to keep a large program on track. You close the day by capturing lessons learned to strengthen our engineering process.
