What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Machine Design Engineer position at Projects Designed and Built, Inc?
Job Description
At PD&B, we build incredible custom machines from the ground up. We work with our customers to build novel and innovative custom-designed manufacturing equipment. We work in nearly every industry, but some of our largest customers are in the aluminum extrusion (HVAC and Automotive), chemical, garage door, EV, and corrugated cardboard industries. We serve customers with manufacturing facilities all around the world but also have strong regional partnerships with locally owned companies. PD&B has a 30,000 sq ft facility that houses a team of electrical and mechanical design engineers, a machine shop, weld shop, paint booth, electrician and panel build area and a team of assembly mechanics that all work together to design, manufacture, build, wire and run our customers equipment under one roof. For a mechanical engineer, this is a unique opportunity to be involved in every part of the process of a part/entire machine; There’s early involvement in the concept creation phase where white board sketches are full of ideas, to the selection of materials for optimal part performance, to how the machine goes together and what ends up working as designed or needs to be reworked to function properly.
The senior design engineer will work closely with the General Manager and Engineering Manager on quoting projects through CAD design. The main priority for the engineer will be utilizing Inventor to create compelling designs on automation projects. You’ll be concepting, designing, and working with the team right through mechanical debug on the floor and installation at the customer site.
Responsibilities include:
Projects Designed & Built Inc., designs and builds custom automation across multiple industries, shipping equipment all over the world. We work with the auto, cabinetry, chemical, garage door, packaging, aluminum extrusion, and many other industries. We build large complex production lines including robots, down to simple conveyors. We are family owned business with a team atmosphere. We have a very clean, brightly lit and air conditioned plant. We strive to make magnificent machines making our customer's site more safe and efficient.
