Job description

AGS is a leading supplier of innovative games and systems for the global gaming industry. Our mission is to deliver superior casino gaming products that elevate the player’s experience while maximizing operational value for our customers.

The Mechanical Engineer I supports the AGS Table Games shuffler development team. Working under the guidance of the Principal Mechanical Engineer, this role contributes to bringing our new line of card shuffler products through the production engineering phases, from working prototype to production-ready products within AGS operations. Contributions include detailed design updates, drawing and bill of materials preparation, supplier documentation, prototype builds, test execution, and engineering change records.

This is a growth position intended to build depth in production engineering within a regulated hardware environment. The Mechanical Engineer I will also assist with the day-to-day mechanical engineering needs of the table games portfolio, including shufflers and table progressives, and will contribute to the mechanical foundation for upcoming AGS shuffler platforms.

The position is based in the Duluth, GA office and reports to the Vice President of Table Games Engineering, with daily technical direction from the Principal Mechanical Engineer. The role works closely with the Duluth Hardware Engineering mechanical team and collaborates with remote teams in Las Vegas.

Responsibilities

• Support the detailed mechanical design and drafting of parts and assemblies for AGS shuffler products under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Assist in the production engineering transition of our new line of card shuffler products from prototype to production-ready designs.
• Create and update 2D drawings and 3D CAD models following AGS modeling, drafting, and revision control practices.
• Contribute to design for manufacturability and design for service reviews by preparing models, drawings, and supporting documentation.
• Assist with the preparation of mechanical bills of materials, part numbers, and drawing packages for release.
• Support engineering change requests and change orders by gathering affected part data, updating drawings, and maintaining accurate change records.
• Assist with supplier communication by preparing drawing packages, part specifications, and quotation request documentation under the direction of senior engineers.
• Support incoming part inspection and first article review by recording measurements and flagging discrepancies for review.
• Build, assemble, and modify prototype and pilot units, and assist in troubleshooting fit, form, and function issues.
• Execute mechanical test and validation procedures, including reliability and life cycle testing, and record and summarize results.
• Contribute to the creation of assembly work instructions, service documentation, and renderings.
• Model and verify the fit and form of OEM components, and help maintain digital models of purchased mechanical and electrical parts.
• Provide day-to-day mechanical engineering support for the broader table games portfolio, including shufflers and table progressives, as directed.
• Learn and apply the agency standards applicable to AGS products, including UL 22, GLI-11, and FCC (47 CFR 15), with support from senior engineers.
