Mechanical Design Engineer
Description:
As a Mechanical Design Engineer , you will execute industrial equipment design activities to deliver engineering projects that meet required quality, schedule, and budget . You will design mechanical equipment and related process systems (piping, structural, combustion, hydraulic, pneumatic), working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, project managers, vendors, and occasionally customers. You will contribute through the full project lifecycle, from concept and sizing through final documentation and site support.

Key Responsibilities

• Review contract documentation, technical specifications, and project drawings to ensure compliance with scope and requirements.
• Select and size equipment and components considering application, duty cycle, safety/regulatory rules, environment, and total installed cost.
• Perform and maintain engineering calculations for mechanical components, system sizing, and performance verification.
• Design mechanical equipment, assemblies, and structural/mechanical integrations.
• Design project-related process systems in compliance with applicable codes, standards, and procedures.
• Provide loading data and calculations for foundation outlines and loading diagrams.
• Prepare technical specifications for mechanical, piping, and process system components.
• Issue component/system requisitions and support procurement with technical evaluations.
• Review vendor submittals and drawings for compliance with specifications and project needs.
• Guide development/release of mechanical, structural, foundation, piping, and process drawings.
• Support Project Managers and other disciplines with technical input across execution.
• Prepare operating instructions and technical documentation for mechanical and process equipment.
• Participate in site installation, commissioning, and acceptance activities when required.
• Ensure design work follows ISO standards and internal quality procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering (or equivalent).
• 1-3 years of engineering/design experience in heavy industrial equipment, process plants, or similar environments.
• Working knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic system design .
• Solid understanding of mechanical design fundamentals (machine elements, structures, piping).
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, and technical specs.
• Strong analytical/problem-solving skills and practical, safety-minded design approach.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver on given deadlines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office , especially Word and Excel.
• Strong communication (written and verbal) skills with internal teams, vendors, and customers.

Preferred Skills

• Proficiency with AutoCAD and Inventor (or equivalent 2D/3D CAD tools).
• Exposure to FEA/CFD or engineering simulation techniques.
• FE Exam passed or progress toward professional licensure.
• Experience with refractory systems/materials or high-temperature industrial environments.
• Prior field/commissioning or site-engineering experience.

Job Type : Full-time, in-office (hybrid flexibility may be available depending on project needs).

Schedule: Monday - Friday, standard business hours.

Travel: Up to 40% domestic/international travel for site surveys, vendor inspections, commissioning, and project support.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Primarily office-based with prolonged computer use.
• Site work may include walking on uneven surfaces, climbing stairs/ladders, and working near heavy industrial equipment.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally and 20 lbs frequently (with or without reasonable accommodation).
• PPE provided and required in operational environments.

Salary: $60,000.00 - $85,000.00 gross per year
