Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

• Travel:
  Approximately 10%, including occasional overnight stays for customer installations

• We are a well-established industrial automation and engineering company with a history dating back to 1929. Originally founded to provide precision tooling to local manufacturers, we have evolved alongside advances in factory production and today focus primarily on factory automation and process control systems
• Our work goes beyond standard equipment manufacturing. We design and build custom industrial automation solutions tailored to the unique production needs of our customers. Our multidisciplinary teams bring together mechanical engineering, robotics, controls, and manufacturing expertise to transform complex production requirements into reliable, innovative equipment
• From initial concept and engineering design through fabrication, assembly, installation, and ongoing support, we are involved throughout the project lifecycle. This provides our engineers with the opportunity to work on challenging, highly customized projects and see their designs move from the drawing board to real-world production environments

• The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will work within a multidisciplinary design team and is responsible for the design, development, and support of all aspects of mechanical systems for custom industrial automation machinery
  , throughout all phases of the project lifecycle
• Qualified candidates will be familiar with standard concepts, practices, and procedures in the field of electro-mechanical equipment design and manufacture
  . The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on experience designing custom automation equipment and be capable of managing projects through the complete mechanical design lifecycle, from conceptual design through manufacturing, assembly, installation, and troubleshooting

• Extensive time spent using Solid Works CAD software
• Development of conceptual designs for custom automation equipment
• Creation of CAD models for all parts of a project
• Creation of CAD assemblies
• Creation of manufacturing drawings
• Creation of assembly drawings with accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) for the assembly department
• Specifying purchased components from various vendors
• Entering purchased parts in the purchasing schedule to release for procurement
• Entering projects into E2 Shop Tech Scheduler
• Serving as project manager for various projects while assisting other engineers with ancillary efforts
• Tracking all aspects of an assigned project
• Creation of project documentation
• Troubleshooting and resolving mechanical design and equipment issues
• Supporting the mechanical design process through fabrication, assembly, testing, and installation
• Periodic travel to customer sites for evaluation and installation efforts

The successful candidate must be capable of managing the full mechanical project lifecycle and have a strong track record of completing substantial custom automation projects. Candidates should have experience with approximately 21–30 or more significant projects
, rather than primarily a high volume of small or limited‑scope projects.
