The Mechanical Designer's Responsibilities Will Be:

• Create and modify component, assembly, and fabrication drawings based on engineering requirements.
• Develop and maintain bills of materials and manufacturing documentation.
• Review engineering drawings, parts lists, and cut sheets for accuracy and completeness.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to support fabrication and assembly activities.
• Identify drawing discrepancies and communicate required changes to engineering teams.
• Support engineering change notices (ECNs) and non-conformance processes.
• Participate in design reviews and project kickoff meetings.
• Track design deliverables and ensure project deadlines are met.
• Help improve drawing quality, manufacturing efficiency, and documentation consistency.
• Communicate effectively with internal stakeholders and external suppliers as needed.

The Mechanical Designer's Qualifications Will Be:

• Associate degree in Engineering, Drafting, Design Technology, or equivalent industry experience preferred.
• 3+ years of experience creating mechanical component and assembly drawings in a manufacturing, fabrication, heavy industrial, or similar environment.
• Proficiency with Inventor and AutoCAD.
• Experience developing and maintaining bills of materials.
• Knowledge of drafting standards, GD&T, and design-for-manufacturing principles.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Experience supporting fabrication, manufacturing, industrial equipment, or custom-engineered products is highly desirable.
• Experience with CAD/CAM, ERP, PLM, or other manufacturing systems is a plus.
• US work authorization required; sponsorship is not available.
