The Mechanical / Electrical Engineer is a hands‑on, mechanical-focused engineering role that supports manufacturing equipment, automation, tooling, calibration, and production quality. The position works closely with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, automation engineers, and cell assembly technicians to improve equipment uptime, reliability, and process performance. The engineer applies mechanical design and CAD capability together with practical electrical and controls knowledge, including PLC‑controlled systems, motors, sensors, relays, and transformers, and leads assigned equipment or automation improvement projects from design through implementation.

The role also contributes to the AS9100D quality management system by helping ensure that equipment, documentation, calibration, and production practices meet applicable requirements.

• Perform routine and preventive maintenance on facilities systems, pumps, ovens, machines, and other production equipment.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair mechanical, electromechanical, and production equipment problems; escalator or coordinate specialized support when appropriate.
• Test, tune, debug, and validate machines and automated equipment to support safe, repeatable, and reliable production performance.
• Troubleshoot and support PLC‑controlled automation and related components, including motors, sensors, relays, transformers, control wiring, and electrical assemblies, within the employee's training, qualifications, and authorization.
• Lead assigned equipment, automation, or process‑improvement projects, including planning, design coordination, installation, commissioning, documentation, and production handoff.
• Manage multiple equipment and project priorities while communicating status, risks, and required support to engineering, production, quality, and leadership.

• Use CAD tools to create or revise mechanical parts, assemblies, tooling, fixtures, drawings, and related design documentation.
• Fabricate, modify, or coordinate the creation of tools and fixtures required for production, testing, and assembly; welding is not an essential function of this position.
• Interpret engineering drawings, schematics, specifications, procedures, tolerances, and technical documentation.
• Support electromechanical assembly, machine modifications, equipment integration, and production process improvements.
• Coordinate with internal machine‑shop resources and external equipment, machining, fabrication, or technical‑service vendors as needed.

• Calibrate tools, machine components, gauges, and equipment in accordance with quality‑control requirements and approved procedures.
• Ensure required calibrations are current, accurate, traceable, and properly documented; promptly address or escalation overdue, failed, or out-of‑tolerance conditions.
• Prepare and maintain equipment, maintenance, calibration, validation, and quality‑control documentation as assigned.
• Support the AS9100D / ISO 9001 quality management system, including audits, corrective actions, root‑cause investigations, configuration or revision control, and continuous‑improvement activities.
• Inspect work areas, equipment, and…
