Mechanical Engineer - Mid-Level

Reports To: Mechanical Engineering Manager

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to take ownership of the design, engineering, documentation, and technical support of assigned mechanical projects. This is a hands-on role requiring strong knowledge of machine design, power transmission, manufacturing, fabrication, and mechanical systems. The ideal candidate can take a project from specification and concept through design, fabrication, testing, and final documentation while working closely with Sales, Drafting, Electrical Engineering, Production, and Service.

Background Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 3-7 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience, preferably in machine design, industrial equipment, or manufacturing.
• Strong background in machine design and power transmission technologies.
• Working knowledge of sheet metal fabrication, structural steel, welding, shop fabrication processes, and manufacturing methods.
• Understanding of strength of materials, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and mechanical engineering principles.
• Practical experience with AutoCAD; experience with Autodesk Inventor is preferred.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances, materials, components, and manufacturing processes.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Primary Responsibilities

• Take full responsibility for the engineering and design of assigned mechanical projects, from initial specifications through production, testing, and project closeout.
• Review machine specifications for completeness, technical feasibility, and manufacturability.
• Perform engineering calculations to determine equipment requirements and support sound component, machine, and feeder design.
• Create or direct the creation of layouts, sketches, detail drawings, assembly drawings, approval drawings, and 3D models.
• Work closely with the Drafting Department to ensure drawings are accurate, complete, and meet engineering requirements.
• Review completed drawings for accuracy, dimensions, tolerances, and technical content.
• Create and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation.
• Specify, document, and procure non-stock and buy-out components.
• Recommend product improvements and manufacturing methods that improve quality, performance, reliability, cost, or manufacturability.
• Coordinate with Electrical Engineering on electro-mechanical design and integration issues.
• Support Sales with technical information, project requirements, and customer-related engineering questions.
• Prepare drawing transmittals and approval documentation for customer review.
• Work directly with Production to resolve engineering issues and provide assembly instructions, drawing clarifications, and technical support.
• Perform periodic in-process fabrication and assembly inspections to ensure work meets engineering requirements.
• Perform incoming inspections of specialty buy-out components.
• Perform final inspections of completed equipment and ensure all equipment documentation is accurate and up to date.
• Provide technical assistance to the Service Department, particularly during equipment testing and commissioning.
• Close out assigned projects and provide all required documentation to Sales in a timely manner.
• Maintain accurate records of project work and time spent on assigned tasks.
• Follow all company policies, procedures, engineering standards, and safety requirements.
