· Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including mechanics, materials, tolerances, and
design for manufacturability.
· Advanced experience with mechanical product design, assembly design, and production support.
· Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, engineering drawings, and BOM management.
· Strong understanding of GD\&T, tolerance stack-ups, and design documentation.
· Knowledge of manufacturing processes, including machining, fabrication, molding, assembly, and
testing.
· Ability to evaluate product performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost impact.
· Strong problem-solving skills with experience in root cause analysis and corrective action.
· Ability to support prototype builds, product validation, and design verification activities.
· Experience working cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, operations, suppliers, and
customers.
· Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical information clearly.
· Ability to manage multiple engineering priorities, projects, and production support needs.
· Continuous improvement mindset with a focus on product quality, efficiency, and long-term
reliability.
Qualifications / Education / Experience:
· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
· Minimum 10\+ years of mechanical engineering or mechanical product design experience in a
manufacturing environment.

mechanical/electromechanical assemblies preferred.
· Advanced proficiency in CAD software and other relevant engineering tools and technologies.
· Experience supporting products from concept through production release.
· Experience supporting engineering changes, cost reduction initiatives, and manufacturing process
improvements.
· Experience in oil \& gas, industrial, energy, or data center environments is preferred.
Duties / Responsibilities: · Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and engineered product solutions. · Lead mechanical design efforts for new and existing products from concept through production release. · Create and maintain 3D models, engineering drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation. · Research new materials, technologies, and manufacturing processes to support product development and continuous improvement initiatives. · Support prototype development, testing, validation, and product qualification activities. · Analyze product performance, test data, and manufacturing issues to develop practical engineering solutions. · Improve manufacturability, product reliability, and production efficiency through design improvements and process optimization. · Collaborate closely with manufacturing, quality, operations, suppliers, and customers on technical requirements and engineering-related matters. · Support root cause investigations and corrective actions related to product or manufacturing issues. · Support cost reduction initiatives and continuous improvement projects across engineering and manufacturing operations. · Provide hands-on engineering support on the production floor as needed. · Ensure designs and engineering documentation comply with customer, regulatory, and internal engineering standards. · Mentor and support junior engineering team members and provide technical guidance when needed.
Physical / Environmental Requirements:
· Work is performed in both office and manufacturing floor environments.
· Must be able to walk, stand, and move through production areas as needed to support
inspections, audits, and issue resolution.
· May require occasional lifting of parts, fixtures, or inspection equipment up to 25 lbs.
· Must be able to use standard office equipment, inspection tools, and electrical/mechanical test
equipment.
· May be exposed to typical manufacturing conditions, including noise, moving equipment, and
