About the Role

The Mechanical Designer’s primary function is to provide full cycle mechanical designs and drawings from concept to completed product for Genset Enclosures, Fuel Tanks, Modified Containers and other custom products.

Responsibilities

• Create and design for manufacturability sheet metal, welding, and complex assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Work with other engineering disciplines (i.e. process, applications, and electrical) to create designs that integrate power, electromechanical, and mechanical systems and that factor in environmental conditions for end users.
• Research and analyze customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, and other data to evaluate the feasibility, cost, and maintenance requirements of designs and applications.
• Provide testing, load ratings, and detailed structural analysis using finite element (FEA).
• Provide external technical support to new and existing customers through field visits, customer meetings, and design reviews.
• Provide internal technical support to the shop floor including interpretation of internal and customer drawings and specifications.
• Manage multiple projects with short-term and competing deadlines at any given time.
• Estimating, including material selection and Bill of Material (BOM) creation.

Qualifications

• College Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology or University degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5+ years of Mechanical Engineering and design experience in a fabrication and assembly work environment.
• Must be able to demonstrate attention to detail and provide accuracy in structural analysis, fluid flow calculations, and engineering report preparation.

Required Skills

• Demonstrated experience with SolidWorks CAD software is mandatory.
• Advance knowledge of sheet metal modeling, welded assemblies, welding symbols, pipe and conduit routing.
• Knowledge of SolidWorks FEA module is a plus.
• Experience working with Electromechanical systems requiring deep knowledge of how components interact, wiring schematics, and control strategies.
• Knowledge of hydraulics and cooling systems, standard fittings, component fastening, and hardware.
• Must have a valid driver's license and the ability to travel primarily in North America but potentially abroad.
