Product Design Engineer jobs in United States

The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for leading the design, procurement, installation, and commissioning of mechanical systems, with a primary focus on conveyor systems used in industrial, manufacturing, or logistics environments. This role requires strong technical expertise, project management skills, and the ability to coordinate cross-disciplinary teams to deliver projects on time and within budget.

• Design and develop conveyor systems including belt, roller, chain, and custom conveyors.
• Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D CAD models of mechanical components and assemblies.
• Perform engineering calculations (e.g., belt tension, load distribution, shaft sizing, drive selection).
• Generate bills of materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and fabrication drawings.
• Select mechanical components such as motors, gearboxes, bearings, and pulleys.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, controls, and manufacturing engineers.
• Ensure designs comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and client specifications.
• Support product development, prototyping, and on-site commissioning when required.
• Conduct design reviews and implement design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles.
• Troubleshoot mechanical issues during production or installation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 3–7 years of experience in mechanical project engineering, preferably with conveyor or material handling systems.
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS).
• Knowledge of conveyor industry standards.
• Field installation or commissioning experience.

• Conveyor system design
• Mechanical drafting (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.)
• Project management
• Materials handling
• System integration
• Cost estimation and budgeting
• Technical troubleshooting and support
