Thompson Pump & Manufacturing Company; Town of Florida (NY); On-site; USD 85,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Thompson Pump & Manufacturing Company is seeking a Design Engineer II to design and develop mechanical components and systems for mobile pump units. You will create manufacturable sheet metal fabrication parts and integrate diesel power units and sound enclosures.

You will collaborate with manufacturing, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to support prototypes, first articles, and production builds while applying DFMA and design-for-cost principles to optimize lifecycle cost.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from an ABET-accredited university.
• 3–5 years of mechanical design experience in industrial equipment manufacturing.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks for part modeling, assemblies, and production drawings.
• Experience with sheet metal components and welded assemblies.

Responsibilities

• Independently design and release components or subsystems in SolidWorks, including complex assemblies that meet performance, manufacturability, and cost targets.
• Interpret and refine requirements, developing concepts to meet functional, cost, and schedule objectives.
• Apply DFMA and design-to-cost principles to optimize reliability, manufacturability, and lifecycle cost.
• Review and approve engineering designs and documentation, ensuring technical integrity and standardization.
• Plan and manage assigned projects to meet milestones; identify risks and communicate schedule impacts.
• Lead component or subsystem testing and validation, analyze results, and implement design improvements.
• Lead build support for assigned hardware, resolving manufacturability, tolerance, and production challenges.
• Work with suppliers and fabricators to resolve issues and improve manufacturability and cost.
• Independently develop subsystem layout and packaging balancing performance, serviceability, safety, and assembly efficiency.
• Lead root cause analysis for failures and implement corrective actions.
• Interface with internal customers and external partners to resolve issues.
