• Develop vibration isolation, curb, frame, and base submittals, including manufacturing drawings
• Perform seismic and wind load calculations and produce supporting engineering reports
• Conduct finite element analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks Simulation or similar tools
• Execute analytical modeling and custom solution development based on project-specific requirements and field conditions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Project Management, Manufacturing, and Field Teams to ensure practical, buildable solutions
• Support Revit/BIM coordination for MEP systems and engineered supports
• Review project documentation, identify missing inputs, and define engineering scope requirements
• Provide technical support for field installations, shop fabrication issues, and customer inquiries
• Generate custom product drawings based on project sales requirements
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering tools, internal software, standards, and workflows

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or related discipline
• Minimum 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, structural frames, or product design
• Experience with:
  • Autodesk design tools
  • SolidWorks Simulation or other FEA platforms
  • Excel, programming, or engineering automation tools
• Demonstrated experience producing engineering calculations and technical reports

Technical Knowledge

• Strong understanding of:
  • Structural loading (seismic, wind, thermal)
  • Anchorage design and restraint behavior
  • Vibration isolation principles and system performance
• Working knowledge of:
  • International Building Code (IBC) and related compliance requirements
  • Structural systems including steel, concrete, wood framing, and MEP components
  • Manufacturing processes including welding, sheet metal fabrication, tolerances, and finishes
  • Hardware selection, specification, and sourcing practices

Core Competencies

• Advanced analytical problem-solving and sound mechanical design judgment
• Strong technical communication skills (written and verbal)
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with attention to deadlines
• Effective collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, and commercial teams
• High attention to detail with strong organizational and time management skills
• Ability to work under pressure and deliver solutions for time-sensitive challenges
