Mechanical Design Engineer

*** WE ARE HIRING 3x MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEERS ***

Under the direction of the Mechanical Design Supervisor or Engineering Manager, the Mechanical Design Engineer will work as part of a multi-disciplinary heavy equipment design engineering team to design and develop new and innovative products to solve problems faced by our customers. This includes utilizing computer-aided software, specifically Solid Works, to create basic 3D layouts, drawings, and schematics of parts, assemblies, and technical renderings.

Responsibilities include customer visits, problem definition, concept development, cross-functional reviews, component selection and detailed design, system prototyping and validation, production design release, manufacturing support and support of field personnel.

• Design mechanical systems for underground mobile mining equipment using software tools such as Solid Works or Autodesk to create 3D layouts, drawings and schematics of parts, assemblies, and technical renderings.
• Simulate systems using software tools such as Solid Works, Autodesk or Ansys to optimize the performance, reliability, and safety of products.
• Create and modify mechanical designs using CAD-based tools.
• Identify and define testing criteria and validation methods based on industry standards.
• Participate in design reviews and provide input for continuous improvement efforts.
• Research and apply industry standards and regulations related to mechanical systems
• Selects appropriate components and materials for mechanical designs.
• Optimize designs for performance, cost, and manufacturability.
• Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations.
• Provide continuous support to the production team during the assembly phase of capital equipment builds.
