Mechanical Design Engineer

The Mechanical Design Engineer (MDE) at Flexicon is a specialized Systems Project Engineer focused on the comprehensive integration of bulk material handling technologies. While Product Development Engineers (PDE) focus on granular component and R&D, and the separate Applications Engineering department provides internal sales support, the MDE owns the technical execution of the full project lifecycle. They are the primary authority on system-level physical integrity, ensuring that the full breadth of Flexicon's product lines are engineered to function as a unified, site-specific solution.

Essential Functions:

• Review customer specifications and site drawings to assess project feasibility.
• Develop preliminary layouts for standard system configurations and/or custom project integrations
• Perform basic to intermediate engineering calculations to ensure system performance.
• Collaborate with internal departments to resolve preliminary design hurdles.
• Conduct simulations to validate system-level physical integrity.
• Prepare technical proposal documentation for complex bulk material handling systems.
• Interact with vendors and customers to resolve system-level technical challenges.

Education and Experience:

• Required: Associate degree in mechanical engineering (BSME) or related field.
• Preferred: Bachelor degree in mechanical engineering (BSME) or related field.
• Experience: 0-4+ years.
