Job description

**Mechanical Engineer**

**Mechanical Engineer -- Mid-Level**

**Reports To: Mechanical Engineering Manager**

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to take ownership of the design, engineering, documentation, and technical support of assigned mechanical projects. This is a hands‑on role requiring strong knowledge of machine design, power transmission, manufacturing, fabrication, and mechanical systems. The ideal candidate can take a project from specification and concept through design, fabrication, testing, and final documentation while working closely with Sales, Drafting, Electrical Engineering, Production, and Service.

Background Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 3--7 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience, preferably in machine design, industrial equipment, or manufacturing.
• Strong background in machine design and power transmission technologies.
• Working knowledge of sheet metal fabrication, structural steel, welding, shop fabrication processes, and manufacturing methods.
• Understanding of strength of materials, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and mechanical engineering principles.
• Practical experience with AutoCAD; experience with Autodesk Inventor is preferred.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances, materials, components, and manufacturing processes.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Primary Responsibilities

• Take full responsibility for the engineering and design of assigned mechanical projects, from initial specifications through production, testing, and project closeout.
• Review machine specifications for completeness, technical feasibility, and manufacturability.
• Perform engineering calculations to determine equipment requirements and support sound component, machine, and feeder design.
• Create or direct the creation of layouts, sketches, detail drawings, assembly drawings, approval drawings, and 3D models.
• Work closely with the Drafting Department to ensure drawings are accurate, complete, and meet engineering requirements.
• Review completed drawings for accuracy, dimensions, tolerances, and technical content.
• Create and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation.
• Specify, document, and procure non‑stock and buy‑out components.
• Recommend product improvements and manufacturing methods that improve quality, performance, reliability, cost, or manufacturability.
• Coordinate with Electrical Engineering on electro‑mechanical design and integration issues.
• Support Sales with technical information, project requirements, and customer‑related engineering questions.
• Prepare drawing transmittals and approval documentation for customer review.
• Work directly with Production to resolve engineering issues and provide assembly instructions, drawing clarifications, and technical support.
• Perform periodic in-process fabrication and assembly inspections to ensure work meets engineering requirements.
• Perform incoming inspections of specialty buy‑out components.
• Perform final inspections of completed equipment and ensure all equipment documentation is accurate and up to date.
• Provide technical assistance to the Service Department, particularly during equipment testing and commissioning.
• Close out assigned projects and provide all required documentation to Sales in a timely manner.
• Maintain accurate records of project work and time spent on assigned tasks.
• Follow all company policies, procedures, engineering standards, and safety requirements.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You are a practical, hands‑on engineer who understands that good mechanical design must work in the real world. You can move comfortably between engineering calculations, CAD drawings, the production floor, and conversations with customers, suppliers, drafters, and technicians.

You take ownership of your projects, pay attention to detail, solve problems quickly, and look for ways to make equipment safer, more reliable, easier to manufacture, and more cost‑effective.

What We Offer
