Job description

Are you looking to take your mechanical design skills to the next level in a fast-paced automation environment?

We’re seeking a talented Mechanical Designer to join our client's dynamic engineering team!

In this role, you’ll work alongside Mechanical Design Leads and cross-functional teams to engineer high-impact solutions, meet key project milestones, and support an entrepreneurial, vision-driven culture.

If you're passionate about custom machinery, solving complex engineering problems, and shaping the future of automated systems, we want to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities:

Technical & Design Execution:

• 3D CAD & Drafting: Produce working drawings, detail drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
• Engineering Analysis: Perform calculations for material strength, speeds, force, temperature, and pressure to ensure optimal tool and machine designs.
• Compliance & Standards: Analyze designs for compliance with industry standards (e.g., OSHA, CE) and review drawings for material selection, machining techniques, finishes, and hardness.
• Hands-on Problem Solving: Reverse engineer components using precision measurement tools and collaborate directly with fabricators, machinists, toolmakers, and electricians to bring designs to life.
• Component Integration: Utilize working knowledge of machine shop techniques, pneumatics, hydraulics, and electrical devices (switches, load cells, LVDTs).

Project Execution & Teamwork:

• Communicate progress, design updates, and documentation cleanly across departments.
• Work closely with vendors for technical specifications and assist with customer documentation.
• Ensure scheduled milestones are met while maintaining high ethical, safety, and quality standards.

What We’re Looking For:

• Education: University Degree or College Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Automation Technology, or equivalent experience.
• Software Proficiency: Strong background in SolidWorks (or equivalent 3D CAD) and AutoCAD.
• Industry Experience: Experience in mechanical design within an automation or custom machinery environment.
• Bonus Assets: Experience with custom tooling for the nuclear industry, or working knowledge of ISO 9001, N299, and NQA-1 quality standards.
• Travel Flexibility: Willingness to travel to vendor/supplier locations (typically under 15%).
