This list of duties and responsibilities is not all-inclusive and may be expanded to include other duties and responsibilities as management may deem necessary from time to time.
Custom Machine Design & Engineering Leadership
- Serve as lead mechanical engineer on custom machine projects, collaborating with applications, manufacturing, assembly, and project management teams.
- Lead the conceptual development and detailed design of custom machinery, including mechanisms, frames, weldments, sheet metal, guarding, and system layouts.
- Apply sound mechanical engineering fundamentals and practical manufacturing knowledge (fabrication, welding, machining, assembly methods) to develop manufacturable, serviceable designs.
- Perform and review engineering calculations (loads, stresses, motions, tolerances, safety factors) to validate design performance and reliability.
- Own mechanical design intent and ensure consistency across models, drawings, and BOMs.
- Mentor and guide engineer I/II’s, providing leadership on design best practices, CAD standards, and problem‑solving approaches.
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of engineering standards, design guidelines, and reusable machine platforms
Project Execution
- Manage the mechanical engineering scope of assigned custom machine projects to meet cost, schedule, functionality, and quality objectives.
- Drive design reviews, risk assessments, and release milestones while maintaining alignment with customer requirements.
- Prepare and release complete engineering packages including 3D models, detailed drawings, bills of material, and supporting documentation.
- Communicate engineering status, technical risks, and design changes clearly to internal customers on a regular basis.
- Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve design efficiency, modularity, and manufacturability.
Cross‑Functional & Manufacturing Support
- Provide hands‑on support to Manufacturing by answering questions, resolving design issues, and issuing timely revisions.
- Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering to ensure mechanical designs integrate seamlessly with automation systems (sensors, actuators, motion systems).
- Participate in or lead the creation of SOPs, standard machine elements, and common design libraries to streamline future custom projects.
- Partner with PMs to maintain schedule focus and support overall project execution.
Field & Customer Interaction
- Provide field support and occasional travel to assist with machine installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
- Participate in customer meetings and design reviews to present concepts, explain design decisions, and incorporate feedback into final solutions.
- Support root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for field issues or performance concerns.
Qualifications
- Strong expertise in SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software for custom machine design.
- Proven ability to design engineered‑to‑order machinery that meets functional, budget, and schedule requirements.
