Descrizione del lavoro

Ready to turn complex motion challenges into reliable, high-impact machines?

About the Position:

We are hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer to help design the next generation of electro-mechanical motion solutions. This is an opportunity for an accomplished, hands-on engineer who wants more than a narrow design assignment. You will own meaningful technical work, solve complex machine-level problems, collaborate directly with customers, and see your designs make it to production.

Based onsite in Hamel, MN, you will join a growing engineering team that values curiosity, accountability, and practical problem-solving. Our work supports high-visibility industrial and defense-related programs, with the variety and ownership that come from a high-mix engineering and manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead product and system-level design efforts for electro-mechanical actuation and power transmission solutions.
• Create robust, manufacturable machine designs involving precision-machined components, bearings, gearing, motors, drives, sensors, and linear-motion systems.
• Define requirements, develop detailed mechanical layouts, build FEA models, and establish tolerance schemes that balance performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability.
• Partner with manufacturing, applications, product, and program teams to move designs from concept through production.
• Engage directly with customer engineers and program leaders in design reviews, technical discussions, and problem-solving.
• Bring thoughtful trade-off analysis, creative solutions, and lessons learned to support product roadmaps and future opportunities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• At least seven years of hands-on mechanical machine design experience, with senior-level judgment and an ownership mindset.
• Demonstrated success designing complex precision-machined assemblies and power-transmission systems.
• Strong working knowledge of bearings, shafts, gearing, motors, drives, ball or roller screws, linear motion, and tight-tolerance components.
• Experience using CAD and engineering analysis tools, ideally including SolidWorks and ANSYS, plus sound FEA and tolerance-analysis fundamentals.
• The communication skills and credibility to collaborate across functions and represent engineering confidently with customers.
• A flexible, accountable approach, with the initiative to work independently while supporting a collaborative team.

You will have the chance to do work that is visible, technically challenging, and genuinely connected to the business. If you are energized by building machines, improving designs, and taking ownership from first concept through production, solutions.
