Design Engineer

Position Overview

The role of Design Engineer plays a key role in the successful execution of engineering projects from concept through installation. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, this position is responsible for designing, detailing, and supporting the fabrication of custom mechanical equipment and systems based on project specifications, scope, and industry standards.

The role requires frequent collaboration with cross-functional teams—including project management, sales, fabrication, and installation—as well as with vendors and subcontractors to ensure accuracy, quality, and on-time delivery of mechanical components.

The Design Engineer must possess strong technical aptitude in AutoCAD, Inventor (or Solid Works), and mechanical design principles, as well as a solid understanding of fabrication and assembly processes. A proactive, detail-oriented approach and strong communication skills are essential for success in this role, along with a willingness to travel for site visits, field measurements, and equipment commissioning support.

• Reports directly to Engineering Manager but will be assigned to specific projects with supervision under the direction of the Project Engineer.
• Create clear and precise fabrication detail drawings and installation layouts based upon the project scope, specifications and estimate. Including purchase components and fabrication material call outs on drawings.
• Designing of mechanical equipment based upon the project scope, specifications and estimate.
• Incorporating standards and specifications into drawings. Including customer, local, state and national codes and safety regulations.
• Effective communication and collaboration with electrical and controls requirements for the mechanical design. Including equipment description of operation and incorporating electrical control devices into the design.
• Effective communication and collaboration with vendors and sub-contractors for purchase and fabrication of mechanical components.
• Effective communication and collaboration with other departments at GENESYS including sales/estimators, project management, fabrication, safety and installation.
• Checking drawings for thoroughness and accuracy, including self-checking one’s own drawings.

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology, or minimum 5 years’ experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Able to apply mathematical functions such as fractions, percentages, ratios and engineering formulas.
• Have proficient skills with AutoCAD and Inventor 2015 or higher. Excellent Solid Works skills will also fulfill in lieu of Inventor experience.
• Have proficient skills with Microsoft Office programs.
• Knowledge of mechanical mechanisms and machine design. Including various mechanical components such as mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic drive packages.
• Ability to design mechanical equipment based upon project specifications and project scope.
• Ability to coordinate and communicate mechanical equipment functions, sequence of operations, time cycle requirements, etc. with controls/electrical engineering. Incorporate electrical control system and control device requirements.
• Knowledge of fabrication processes. Including part fabrication, welding, and assembly requirements
• Willingness to travel (up to 20-30%) to jobsites for field measurements, and assisting the installation, start-up and debugging equipment based upon the project scope of work.

• Ability to work effectively in a team environment and to influence others to accomplish complex tasks and solve complex technical problems.
• Self-starter with a detail orientated personality.
• Positive attitude.
