The Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and supporting mechanical and electromechanical systems used across new product development, automation, and production environments. This role combines mechanical design expertise with hands‑on fabrication knowledge and systems integration skills, ensuring that equipment, components, and assemblies meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
Design & Development
- Design and develop mechanical and mechatronic systems, assemblies, and components—including mechanisms, fixtures, automation systems, and tooling.
- Apply mechanical engineering principles in combination with electrical, pneumatic, and control elements to create integrated solutions.
- Generate 3D models, detailed drawings, BOMs, and fabrication specifications.
- Develop and prototype custom parts using welding, forming, machining, cutting, and other metal fabrication processes.
- Provide mechanical and mechatronic support throughout all phases of new product development.
Fabrication & Manufacturing Support
- Collaborate with internal and external fabrication teams to ensure manufacturability, proper material selection, and adherence to specifications.
- Provide technical support to production, maintenance, and engineering teams for equipment installation, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
- Improve existing systems through design modifications, component upgrades, and performance optimization.
- Create assembly procedures, test plans, and standard work instructions.
Systems Integration & Testing
- Integrate sensors, actuators, motors, pneumatic systems, and control hardware into mechanical assemblies.
- Execute system testing, debugging, validation, and performance optimization.
- Conduct root‑cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions for mechanical and electromechanical failures.
- Work closely with automation, electrical, and controls engineers to ensure cohesive system functionality.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field.
- Strong mechanical design background with hands‑on knowledge of welding, machining, forming, cutting, and standard fabrication practices.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Inventor, or CREO.
- Familiarity with electrical/controls fundamentals (PLC interfaces, sensors, actuators, wiring basics).
- Experience with automation systems, robotics, pneumatics, or electromechanical devices preferred.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, fabrication prints, and schematics.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for mechanical and electromechanical systems.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast‑paced environment and meet deadlines.
- Hands‑on aptitude for prototyping, assembly, and testing.
