Production Engineer, Mechanical

• Review sales orders, customer requirements, development work, and handoff information; resolve gaps and conflicts before detailed design. Adapt approved reference designs and common components while avoiding unnecessary customization.
• Create AutoCAD layouts and Solid Works models and manufacturing drawings for welded structures, machined components, and mechanical interfaces, brackets, and guards. Verify fit, function, tolerances, access, serviceability, and manufacturability before release.
• Perform and document engineering calculations using hand calculations, Excel, Mathcad, Solid Works Simulation, or approved equivalents; coordinate advanced analysis, testing, or specialist review when needed.
• Maintain accurate models, drawings, parts, assemblies, BOMs, revisions, and metadata using controlled templates and standards. Follow approved PDM and release workflows and maintain consistent data through CADLink into Epicor.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing, Service, Sales, and Quality; represent Engineering in project kickoffs, design and pre-installation reviews, and installation debriefs. Visit customer and mine sites to verify interfaces, support installation, and investigate issues.
• Resolve shop and field issues through controlled corrective actions, not undocumented changes. Complete resulting design and documentation updates, close outstanding issues, and ensure final records match the released and manufactured configuration.
• Improve manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, safety, and cost. Capture lessons learned, standardize repeat solutions, and improve engineering checklists, templates, and processes.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent directly relevant experience; two or more years of mechanical design or production engineering experience in manufacturing.
• Working proficiency in Solid Works or comparable parametric 3D CAD; experience producing manufacturing drawings for welded, fabricated, and machined components and documenting practical engineering calculations.
• Working knowledge of drawings, tolerances, fits, fasteners, materials, welding, and steel fabrication; ability to learn and consistently follow controlled CAD, PDM, BOM, revision, and release processes.
• Ability to manage multiple projects with accurate documentation; strong written and verbal communication with shop and field personnel; willingness to work regularly in fabrication and assembly areas and travel as required.

• Heavy or mining equipment, mobile machinery, welded structures, or industrial equipment experience, especially low-volume, highly configurable products.
• Solid Works PDM Professional or other PDM systems; ERP part and BOM data, particularly Epicor Kinetic and CADLink; formal engineering change and drawing-release processes.
• GD&T, Solid Works Simulation or other FEA, and hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, or braking-system interfaces.
• Solid Works API, VBA, or CAD release-automation experience, or willingness to learn.

Accurate, complete, manufacturable designs; problems caught before release; disciplined use of standards and reliable product data; clear communication and follow-through; and ownership from initial review to closeout while balancing schedules, engineering quality, and product safety.
