Mechanical Design Engineer

Cindavi

This is your opportunity to own meaningful automation projects and build toward bigger engineering impact.

Check out the role overview below If you are confident you have got the right skills and experience, apply today.

About the Position:

We are hiring a Mechanical Engineer II to help design and deliver the automated material-handling systems behind high-performing warehouse and fulfillment operations.

This is a high-impact opportunity for an engineer who understands conveyors, system integration, and the satisfaction of seeing a design become a working solution. You will take ownership of meaningful project components, collaborate with a close-knit engineering team, and help turn complex operational challenges into reliable automation systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design mechanical subsystems for automated material-handling projects, including high-stroke conveyors, mezzanines, support structures, and related equipment.
  • •Create accurate mechanical layouts, drawings, calculations, technical documentation, and material-flow diagrams using 2D and 3D CAD tools.
  • Own smaller projects and project components, typically in the $500K-$1M range, while building the foundation to take on larger work over time.
  • Partner with senior engineers, sales, vendors, customers, and cross-functional engineering teams to bring solutions from concept through integration.
  • Support equipment selection, vendor coordination, project planning, risk identification, site installation, commissioning, and technical troubleshooting.
  • Help improve engineering tools, standards, and processes while continuing to build your expertise in warehouse automation.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
  • Two to five years of practical mechanical engineering experience, ideally in material handling, industrial automation, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, or automated storage.
  • Strong 2D and 3D CAD capability. AutoCAD experience is preferred, but strong SolidWorks or comparable modeling experience is welcome.
  • A working understanding of system integration, mechanical layouts, statics, dynamics, GD&T, equipment specifications, and vendor collaboration.
  • The ability to manage assigned project components independently, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively across disciplines. xhyhwjd

If you are ready to grow your career in material handling and make a visible impact on complex automation projects, apply today.
