Descripción del empleo

SURLIV | Engineering Services is looking for a highly skilled Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team for an initial 3-month contract, with a strong possibility of extension through the next year. We are seeking a seasoned professional with a robust background in advanced CAD modeling and engineering analysis, who can hit the ground running, bringing technical expertise, cross-functional collaboration, and a precision-oriented mindset to projects working directly with teams in the United States.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality, fully parametric 3D models and detailed manufacturing drawings, strictly adhering to internal SOPs and data management standards.
• Work effectively within collaborative CAD environments and shared multi-user structures, ensuring clean file management, proper use of configurations, and conflict-free data integration (Check-in/Check-out, PLM, or shared servers).
• Support design cycles from conceptualization, requirements translation, and interface design, through to factory readiness, prototyping, and validation testing.
• Provide proactive project updates and effective communication regarding project milestones, design reviews, and technical bottlenecks to both local management and United States stakeholders.
• Perform advanced technical analysis, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), stack-up tolerances, and clearance/clash verification in complex moving mechanisms.
• Evaluate and propose design optimizations for performance, manufacturability (DFM), and cost-effectiveness (cost reduction initiatives).
• Actively contribute to talent development, providing coaching, mentorship, and technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers within the team.

Requirements

• Experience: 8+ years of experience in mechanical design and applications engineering (background in advanced manufacturing, industrial systems, or heavy machinery is highly preferred).
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline (a Master’s degree in Design or Manufacturing is a plus).
• Software & CAD Tools: Proficiency in SolidWorks (including configuration management, large assembly optimization, and manufacturing workbenches like Sheet Metal and Weldments). Additional multi-CAD experience (e.g., CATIA, Onshape, or NX) and PLM/file-management tool workflows are preferred.
• Material Standards & DFM: Extensive experience and deep understanding of commercial metallic material standards, including advanced knowledge of structural profiles (Weldments/structural frames), commercial sheet metal gauges and sheet sizes to optimize material yield and manufacturing processes.
• Technical Skills: Deep knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, material selection, and diverse manufacturing processes (such as precision metal fabrication, sheet metal, welding, and 3D printing/rapid prototyping).
• Interdisciplinary Skills: Strong familiarity or hands-on experience with automation, control systems, and electronic components integration within mechanical assemblies is highly valued.
• Mindset & Leadership: Proven leadership skills with the ability to work independently and without supervision. Exceptional teamwork and interpersonal skills.
• Language: Full professional proficiency in English is required (frequent communication and collaboration with teams in the United States).

Position Details

• Location: Mexicali, B.C. (On-site/Hybrid).
• Start Date: Immediate.
