Mechanical Design Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, testing, and improvement of mechanical systems and components used in the company’s products and manufacturing processes. This role plays a key part in translating product requirements into robust, manufacturable designs while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including engineering, operations, supply chain, and quality.

The ideal candidate is an experienced engineer who can lead complex design efforts, mentor junior engineers, and drive projects from concept through production.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design \& Development

• Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and systems from concept through production.
• Create detailed 3D models, engineering drawings, and specifications using CAD software.
• Perform engineering analysis including tolerance stack-ups, thermal analysis, stress analysis, and design for manufacturability.
• Develop prototypes and conduct testing to validate performance and reliability.

Product Development \& Engineering

• Lead mechanical design efforts across multiple development projects.
• Translate product requirements into engineering specifications and design solutions.
• Participate in design reviews, root cause investigations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support the transition of new designs from development to manufacturing.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure system integration.
• Collaborate with supply chain and vendors to source components and evaluate manufacturability.
• Support operations teams with troubleshooting, product improvements, and process optimization.

Technical Leadership

• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and designers.
• Establish engineering best practices, documentation standards, and design processes.
• Contribute to strategic engineering decisions and technology roadmap development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
• 5-7 years of mechanical design or product development experience.
• Proficiency with Siemens NX.
• Experience designing complex mechanical systems or assemblies.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, additive manufacturing, injection molding, etc.).
• Material Science knowledge, metallurgy preferred.
• 3D additive printer experience is a plus.
• DOD, automotive, aerospace and or/medical design experience.
• Experience with engineering documentation, design reviews, and product lifecycle management.
