Mechanical Design Engineer

LHH is partnering with an innovative product and technology organization that is a recognized industry leader in engineered equipment supporting critical energy and environmental applications. This company has built its reputation on patented technology, field-proven reliability, and a relentless focus on performance, safety, and customer outcomes.

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer who thrives in a hands-on product environment and wants true ownership over the full product lifecycle—from concept and prototyping through production launch and field optimization.

This is not a maintenance-level design role. This is a build-it, test-it, improve-it engineering seat with direct impact on product performance and market differentiation.

The Mechanical Design Engineer will lead end-to-end mechanical product development initiatives while supporting continuous improvement of existing product lines. You will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Sales, Manufacturing, Field Services, and customers to translate requirements into manufacturable, field-ready solutions.

The environment is collaborative, fast-moving, and accountability-driven. Engineers here are expected to design with purpose, validate with data, and deliver with discipline.

• Lead mechanical product development from concept through production release
• Define requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria with cross-functional stakeholders
• Conduct design reviews, risk assessments, and validation activities
• Research materials, technologies, and industry trends to support innovation

• Develop 3D models and manufacturing-ready drawings in Solid Works
• Create detailed machining and assembly documentation
• Apply GD&T and tolerance stack-up principles
• Maintain robust engineering documentation, change records, and technical files

• Build and test prototypes to validate durability, performance, safety, and usability
• Conduct field trials and integrate customer feedback into design refinements
• Support iterative development cycles based on test results and real-world performance

• Perform failure analysis and root cause corrective action (RCCA)
• Drive measurable improvements in product performance, longevity, and quality
• Recommend enhancements to materials and manufacturing processes
• Support KPI-driven initiatives tied to product quality and operational efficiency

• Collaborate with engineering, production, and project teams to meet cost and schedule targets
• Ensure compliance with applicable standards (API, ASME, ISO, ATEX, PED as applicable)

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Industrial Design, Product Design, or related field
• 3–5+ years of mechanical product design experience
• Advanced proficiency in Solid Works with ability to produce manufacturing-ready drawings
• Experience with prototyping, testing, and iterative product development
• Working knowledge of API, ASME, ISO, or similar engineering/manufacturing standards
• Strong analytical mindset with structured problem-solving capability
• Experience with GD&T and tolerance stack-ups
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities and cross-functional work streams

• Knowledge of machining practices and mechanical component manufacturing methods
• Familiarity with stage-gate product development processes
• Six Sigma certification and/or formal RCCA experience
• EIT or PE credential

This opportunity offers meaningful product ownership, exposure to real-world field applications, and the ability to influence both innovation and operational excellence. Engineers who perform well here are trusted with increasing responsibility and long-term product leadership visibility.

• Bonus: Approximately 10% annual performance-based
• Benefits: Medical, dental, 401(k) with match, PTO
