Req

We are recruiting a mechanical engineering lead to join our engineering team and support the development of pre-engineered automation solutions and complementary products. This is a hands-on technical leadership role suited for an engineer who combines strong mechanical design expertise with the ability to lead projects and collaborate across disciplines.

The successful candidate will work closely with mechanical, electrical/controls, software, and robotics teams to deliver integrated, high-performance automation systems. This role requires a strong working understanding of how mechanical design decisions influence controls architecture, software behavior, and robotic system performance to ensure reliable, scalable, and maintainable automation solutions.

The ideal candidate is creative, inquisitive and analytical, with a strong focus on product innovation and continuous improvement. In addition to contributing technically, this individual will take on increasing responsibility for technical leadership, providing technical direction within assigned projects, guiding design decisions and trade-offs, coordinating cross-functional efforts, and mentoring team members, with a clear path toward a formal people management role.
