Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Technician or Mechanical Designer to support the development of custom equipment, fixtures, tooling, prototypes, and manufacturing systems. The successful candidate will transform conceptual designs and engineering direction into complete, manufacturable mechanical designs ready for procurement, fabrication, assembly, and deployment.

This role requires strong practical mechanical design experience, expertise with Solid Works and Solid Works PDM, and a thorough understanding of manufacturing methods, mechanical components, tolerancing, assembly practices, and mechanical systems. The position is highly hands-on and includes equipment assembly, fitting, troubleshooting, vendor interaction, and supporting procurement activities. Practical experience, sound engineering judgment, and demonstrated design capability are valued more highly than formal educational qualifications.

This role is around 50% Design and 50% installation, prototyping, assembly, etc...

Key Responsibilities Develop complete mechanical designs from sketches, concepts, engineering direction, and preliminary layouts. Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, fabrication drawings, and assembly documentation using Solid Works. Generate and maintain bills of material (BOMs), part specifications, and engineering documentation within Solid Works PDM. Select and specify purchased components, standard hardware, and commercial-off-the-shelf equipment appropriate for project requirements. Work closely with internal supply chain, procurement, and manufacturing personnel to source and procure components and equipment.

Interface directly with external suppliers and vendors to identify, specify, quote, and procure mechanical components, assemblies, and fabricated equipment.
