Job Description
Design Innovative Mechanical Systems That Power Advanced Manufacturing & Automation
(No travel)
Our client is seeking a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys bringing complex mechanical systems to life - from concept and design through implementation and support. This role offers the opportunity to work on custom equipment and engineered solutions in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where innovation, technical excellence, and practical problem-solving are highly valued.
The Mechanical Engineer will play a key role in developing reliable, efficient, and cost-effective mechanical designs while partnering closely with cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams. This position is ideal for someone who thrives on designing custom machinery, improving processes, and contributing to projects that directly impact production and operational performance.
If you're motivated by hands-on engineering, continuous improvement, and seeing your designs move from drawings to real-world applications, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your career.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical systems and components for custom machinery and automation projects
- Review project requirements and translate specifications into practical engineering solutions
- Create concept designs and participate in initial design reviews
- Develop detailed mechanical designs including:
- Assembly drawings
- Component layouts
- Bills of materials
- Design calculations
- Manufacturing documentation
- Collaborate with project engineering and cross-functional teams throughout the project lifecycle
- Ensure designs meet performance, quality, scheduling, and cost objectives
- Support fabrication, assembly, troubleshooting, and commissioning activities as needed
- Participate in final design reviews and documentation approvals
- Assist in resolving technical issues and implementing engineering improvements
- Contribute ideas that improve product quality, engineering efficiency, and overall organizational performance
- Maintain effective communication across engineering, manufacturing, and project teams
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline
- 2+ years of experience with mechanical design for industrial equipment or automated systems
- Proficiency with CAD software and engineering documentation
Preferred Experience
- Familiarity with pneumatics, hydraulics, and motion systems
- Hands-on experience supporting fabrication or machine assembly
- Exposure to continuous improvement or lean manufacturing initiatives
- Experience collaborating closely with electrical controls and project engineering teams
- Knowledge of industrial equipment design, integration, and startup support
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Opportunity to work on highly customized engineering projects
- Collaborative engineering environment with strong technical teamwork
- Exposure to advanced manufacturing and automation technologies
- Variety of project work across multiple industries and applications
- Ability to make a direct impact on engineering innovation and process improvement
- Career growth opportunities within a stable and technically driven organization
Titles Encouraged to Apply
- Mechanical Design Engineer
- Manufacturing Engineer
- Project Engineer
- Automation Engineer
- Machine Design Engineer
- Industrial Engineer
- Product Development Engineer
If you're a mechanically minded engineer who enjoys solving complex challenges and building practical solutions that make an impact, we encourage you to apply.
