Job description

See your designs move beyond CAD and become real, working equipment. Stay involved from concept through manufacturing, testing and startup.

We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to design and improve custom industrial equipment used in highly controlled manufacturing environments. Direct pharmaceutical-equipment experience is not required. Strong mechanical engineers who understand how designs move from the computer to the production floor are encouraged to apply.

What You Will Do

• Create and modify 3D models, assemblies and 2D manufacturing drawings.
• Design mechanical components, structures and equipment assemblies.
• Turn project requirements into practical, manufacturable designs.
• Select materials, components and fabrication methods.
• Maintain bills of material and engineering documentation.
• Review designs for fit, function, safety, serviceability and manufacturability.
• Resolve production issues with manufacturing and assembly teams.
• Support prototypes, testing, installation, startup and troubleshooting.

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Three or more years of mechanical design or product-engineering experience.
• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial equipment or product-development environment.
• Strong 3D CAD modeling and 2D drawing experience.
• Inventor and AutoCAD are preferred; SolidWorks, Creo or similar 3D CAD experience is transferable.
• Understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances, materials and manufacturing processes.
• Ability to solve practical problems with production-floor teams.

Helpful Experience

• Custom machinery, capital equipment, automation or process equipment.
• Stainless-steel fabrication, pressure vessels, piping or vacuum systems.
• Hydraulics, pneumatics, heat transfer or fluid systems.
• Regulated manufacturing such as pharmaceutical, medical device, food, aerospace or chemical processing.

Highlights include

• Design custom equipment rather than making repetitive product changes.
• Follow projects from concept through manufacturing and startup.
• Combine detailed design work with hands-on manufacturing support.
• Join an established organization with long-term projects and global reach.
