Job description

We're hiring an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team and work on design, documentation, and continuous improvement of our equipment lines. This role has direct involvement across the full product lifecycle — from concept to shop floor to field.

You'll work closely with leadership, sales, production, purchasing, service teams, and customers directly.
