Mechanical Engineer

The role of the Mechanical Engineer is to provide concepts, design, development, debugging, and support on new equipment, and complete systems. The Mechanical Engineer will work in a Lean team environment with other like-minded individuals to meet the needs of each customer. They will be responsible for meeting the project requirements and schedule and will report directly to the Director of Engineering.

The Mechanical Engineer is expected to be initiative-taking with the ability to follow instructions (written and verbal) without extensive supervision. They will need a strong understanding of basic design and modern Engineering concepts as well as troubleshooting and customer relationship building skills. The Engineering Develops primary responsibilities will include designing new systems, modifying existing systems to resolve issues, creating new hardware designs, redesigning parts, and areas of the machines, improving overall performance, and working to create the best experience for our customers.

Experience designing automated packaging equipment with both Solidworks and AutoCAD is critical to the success of this position. The types of equipment we have are as follows:
Automated Bottle Packaging Machine (BPM), automated Linear Dispensing Machine (LDU) for high output Mail Order Pharmacies. We also have polybag, polybubble and paper based automated packaging systems for deployment in automated ecom direct to the consumer distribution centers. The Mechanical Engineer’s primary responsibilities will include working in cooperation with Allen Bradley PLC engineers and software engineers on existing machines and making improvements along with taking on new equipment designs.

In addition, if this person could have experience with AutoCAD designing workflow processes for mail order pharmacy systems and ecom distributions systems. Other experience that would prove valuable to Tension is working with conveyor and conveyor controls systems in distribution centers.

Specific tasks may vary according to team structure. Tasks will typically include all the following:

• Work separately or within a team environment to meet Project deadlines under or on time
• Modifying Engineering to improve performance, fix errors, adapt it to new hardware, improve its performance, or upgrade current systems
• Have ability to work with sales and customers to design system from a blank slate and or modify a customer’s existing system to be more efficient
• System testing and validation procedures
• Engineering design and documentation development
• Consulting with departments or customers on project status and proposals
• Working with customers or departments on technical issues including Engineering system design and maintenance
• Depending on the project have the ability to project manage the project from inception to completion of final signed off SAT documentation.
• Analyzing information to recommend and plan the installation of new systems or modifications of an existing system
• Consulting with software engineering staff to evaluate software-hardware interfaces and develop specifications and performance requirements
• Designing and developing Engineering systems using scientific analysis and models to predict and measure outcomes and design consequences
• Preparing reports on design project specifications, activities, or status
• Conferring with project managers to obtain information on limitations or capabilities
• Creating and presenting training materials
• May be assigned to other duties on a temporary basis for the purpose of increasing personal competence, helping other TPA division personnel or training, and assisting less experienced personnel.
