Senior Automation Mechanical Engineer

• Collaborate with applications engineers on conceptual automated manufacturing equipment and provide feedback to product design teams to improve Design for Manufacturability
• Lead mechanical design of custom automated manufacturing equipment using 3D CAD
• Design custom automation equipment including robotic end-of-arm tooling, material handling systems, fixtures, weldments, machine frames, safety guarding, and production cell layouts
• Apply engineering first principles — including mechanics, kinematics, and materials science — to analyze system behavior, evaluate design trade-offs, and develop technically sound solutions to novel mechanical challenges
• Drive iterative development cycles; make pragmatic design trade-offs to balance performance, cost, and schedule constraints
• Integrate mechanical, electronic, pneumatic, and related components into unified systems
• Lead equipment commissioning, startup, and production ramp-up; own resolution of mechanical issues during installation and debug
• Create and deliver mechanical documentation packages including BOMs, drawings, recommended spare parts lists, and assembly procedures
• Provide technical input to project schedules and budgets throughout the project lifecycle

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field
• Minimum 6 years of experience in the from-scratch design, assembly, and commissioning of custom automated tooling or manufacturing equipment
• Proficiency in 3D CAD for mechanical design (CREO, Solid Works, or equivalent)
• Working knowledge of control systems, robotics, and automated industrial equipment, machines, and processes
• Demonstrated ability to create, interpret, and review mechanical drawings and engineering documentation
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Demonstrates expertise in mechanical design and integration of automated manufacturing equipment, utilizing 3D CAD tools and engineering principles to deliver innovative solutions. Proven ability to lead projects from design through commissioning, ensuring alignment with performance, cost, and schedule objectives.
