Job Title:

Mechanical Engineer

Job Description

The Mechanical Engineer plays a key role in bridging engineering and production by creating accurate 3D models and drawings, developing bills of materials, and supporting engineering change processes. This position collaborates closely with cross-functional teams to improve existing products, develop new design concepts, and ensure that engineering documentation and procedures support efficient manufacturing and a safe work environment.

Responsibilities

+ Work directly with other engineers to produce detailed drawings from sketches, existing drawings, and electronic images.

+ Prepare accurate 3D solid models and associated engineering documentation for customer orders.

+ Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOM) for products and develop modular BOM creation procedures.

+ Support the processing of Engineering Change Orders (ECO) using Autodesk Vault Professional.

+ Review the issue management system and follow up on related Engineering Change Orders to ensure timely resolution.

+ Devise new design solutions to address engineering and production problems encountered during projects.

+ Assist the ongoing Product Improvement team with daily customer-specific design updates and enhancements.

+ Support the Product Development team with new design concepts needed to assist in building new products.

+ Collaborate with engineers and other personnel to identify, define, and solve technical and process-related problems.

+ Communicate effectively with other departments to ensure alignment between engineering, production, and other functions.

+ Contribute to team efforts by accomplishing related tasks as needed to support project and departmental goals.

+ Maintain a safe and healthy work environment by establishing, following, and enforcing standards and procedures, and complying with applicable codes and legal regulations.

+ Train in internal systems to make drawing changes when not assisting production; this will serve as a secondary job function.

+ Perform other duties as requested, directed, or assigned to support engineering and production activities.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

+ Proficiency in 3D solid modeling, with experience in Autodesk Inventor and Vault Professional preferred.

+

Experience with Solid Works and other mechanical design tools.

+ Ability to read and interpret electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic schematics.

+ Strong skills in sheet metal design, water piping, and hose routing.

+ Basic knowledge of steel and aluminum manufacturing processes, including sheet metal fabrication, machining, and welding.

+ Understanding of parametric modeling concepts such as assemblies, iParts, factories, and the ability to drive model dimensions through parameters or logical statements.

+ Knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing).

+ Ability to work within tight deadlines and manage time effectively.

+ Ability to multi-task and handle multiple priorities simultaneously.

+ Capability to carry out instructions furnished in written, oral, or diagram form.

+ Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.

+ Good written and verbal communication skills.

+ Demonstrated ability to work in a self-directed environment.

+ Proven ability to work effectively as a team player.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

+

Experience with AutoCAD for 2D and 3D design work.

+ Familiarity with Visual ERP or similar enterprise resource planning systems.

+ Knowledge of hydraulic systems for mobile equipment is a plus.

+

Experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) is an added advantage.

+ Background in pneumatic and hydraulic system design and documentation.

+ Exposure to water piping systems and hose routing in mechanical assemblies.

+ Understanding of manufacturing processes related to welding and machining.

+ Experience working with Autodesk Vault Professional for data management and ECO processing.

+ Familiarity with CAD tools for sheet metal and structural design.

+ Strong problem-solving skills and a continuous improvement mindset.

Work Environment
