Mechanical Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer will perform a wide range of technical duties focused on the mechanical design and drafting of customer-specific capital equipment orders. This role includes designing tooling fixtures for advanced manufacturing technologies, creating and maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs), and supporting cross-functional business areas such as purchasing and aftermarket operations. The engineer will play a key role in machine start-up, troubleshooting, and standardization initiatives across global product families.

Responsibilities

• Design custom capital equipment and machinery using Solid Works and Pro/Engineer (Creo), ensuring designs meet customer specifications and performance requirements.
• Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for mechanical components and assemblies, using Solid Works, Pro/Engineer, and AutoCAD.
• Develop, maintain, and update accurate change logs and issue logs throughout the machine build process, following the company Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process to correct and improve designs.
• Support capital equipment machine start-up and debug activities, including troubleshooting mechanical issues during all phases of the build.
• Convert standard machine designs between Solid Works and Pro/Engineer to support various projects and product platforms.
• Collaborate closely with purchasing by communicating with vendors to ensure designs are manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively, providing technical details and clarifications as needed.
• Safely maintain and manage machine designs while working with proprietary and confidential data, adhering to all relevant procedures and guidelines.
• Design tooling fixtures for various advanced manufacturing technologies, ensuring functionality, safety, and alignment with customer requirements.
• Coordinate with project management to ensure all customer expectations and specifications are thoroughly considered and incorporated during the design phase.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation for all tooling designs, including revisions and updates.
• Work with global engineering teammates on special projects to improve the design and fabrication of machines built at different sites.
• Review and analyze different product families to help establish more standard component lists and drive product standardization initiatives.
• Create, maintain, and update Bills of Materials (BOMs) for machines and tooling, ensuring accuracy and completeness for manufacturing and aftermarket support.
• Support aftermarket operations with technical information and design updates as needed.
• Use Microsoft Office applications, including Word and Excel, to prepare reports, documentation, and presentations related to design and project work.
• Engage in cross-functional collaboration with teams such as project management, purchasing, manufacturing, and global engineering groups to ensure project success.
• Communicate clearly and effectively in both written and verbal forms to share design intent, project status, and technical information with internal and external stakeholders.
• Manage multiple projects and tasks simultaneously, prioritizing work to meet deadlines and deliver high-quality results.
• Apply critical thinking and disciplined problem-solving skills to analyze issues, develop practical solutions, and make sound engineering judgments.

Essential Skills
