Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer

The Mechanical Design Engineer researches, designs, develops, tests, and continuously improves mechanical and electromechanical products and systems. This role applies advanced engineering principles in mechanics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer, and materials science to create innovative solutions that meet customer requirements while enhancing manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and regulatory compliance. The engineer works closely with manufacturing, sales, operations, and customers throughout the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept through commercialization.

• Evaluate mechanical and electromechanical systems and products by conducting research and applying engineering principles in mechanics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer, and materials science.
• Develop mechanical and electromechanical products by analyzing customer requirements, assessing manufacturing and assembly methods, selecting appropriate materials, and incorporating feedback from operators and stakeholders.
• Apply design principles for reliability, testability, safety, manufacturability, assembly, inspection, user-friendliness, ergonomics, aesthetics, environmental impact, and disassembly as appropriate for each project.
• Brainstorm, model, and prototype mechanical concepts using 3D CAD tools and additive manufacturing methods to validate and refine designs.
• Ensure system and product quality by developing test methods and fixtures and by verifying and validating finished-product performance, including durability, ergonomics, and serviceability.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and sales teams to ensure correct fabrication, assembly, and installation processes for new and existing products.
• Improve manufacturing processes by designing, selecting, and modifying equipment used to fabricate, assemble, and install components.
• Contribute to the creation and refinement of manufacturing and test procedures for assigned projects, and provide training to operators and technicians as needed.
• Prepare clear technical and product reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing data, findings, and trends for internal and external stakeholders.
• Provide engineering support by responding to technical questions and requests from customers, sales teams, and internal stakeholders in a timely and professional manner.
• Support compliance efforts and help protect organizational reputation by ensuring adherence to applicable government regulations and industry standards throughout the design and development process.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.
• At least 3 years of professional experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer.
• Proficiency with Solid Works for 3D design, modeling, and simulation.
• Experience with full product lifecycle development from concept through commercialization.
• Strong knowledge and practical application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Demonstrated experience applying engineering principles in mechanics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer, and materials science.
• Ability to develop and interpret work instructions and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to evaluate complex mechanical and electromechanical systems.
• Effective communication skills for collaborating with cross-functional teams and supporting customers and internal stakeholders.

• Experience using 3D CAD tools and additive manufacturing methods to model and prototype mechanical concepts.
• Experience in designing for reliability, safety, manufacturability, assembly, inspection, ergonomics, and user-friendliness.
• Familiarity with developing test methods, fixtures, and validation plans for mechanical and electromechanical products.
• Experience improving manufacturing processes through equipment design, selection, and modification.
• Ability to create clear, concise technical reports that summarize data, findings, and trends.
• Comfort supporting compliance with relevant government regulations and industry standards.
• Experience training operators or technicians on new…
