Senior Mechanical Engineer

Join Pro Mach and shine. Whether you're creative, strategic, persuasive, or mechanically inclined, there’s a place for you here. Be a problem-solver, a closer, a futurist—whatever drives you.

At Pro Mach, you'll be challenged and rewarded as you help improve packaging performance and shape the future of automation. And we’ll be proud to have you on the journey.

Ossid LLC , Powered by Pro Mach , is a recognized leader in the manufacture of automated manufacturing systems including; horizontal thermoform, fill, and seal machinery, automatic weighing and labeling systems, high speed tray sealing, and tray overwrap equipment.

Ossid is seeking a Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer for food and medical device packaging machinery. The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will lead the design and development of custom and standard packaging machinery for new designs as well as providing product improvement support for existing designs, overseeing projects from concept through final testing and customer delivery. This individual will manage the design process in alignment with Ossid‘s Engineering Development Process and Stage Gate Process, ensuring designs are robust, manufacturable, and meet customer requirements.

The role requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams—including manufacturing, controls, and service—to deliver innovative and reliable packaging solutions. The engineer candidate will report to the Mechanical Engineering Manager. We are considering candidates outside of the market, and will offer relocation assistance.
