Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer

Xylem is a global water technology company focused on solving some of the world's most important water challenges. We're looking for a curious, self-starting Mechanical Design Engineer to be a member of our Product Development team that designs and supports mechanical parts and assemblies used in gas metering and communication systems.

In this role, you'll contribute to new product development from early concepts through production launch, and then support the products once they are in the field. You'll work with a cross-functional team to develop rugged, high-volume electromechanical products for outdoor use. This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys hands-on product development, collaborative problem solving, and seeing designs move into production.

You will help:

• Design mechanical components, assemblies, interfaces, adapters, and environmental packaging for rugged outdoor electromechanical products.
• Create and maintain drawings, specifications, and manufacturing documentation.
• Use engineering tools such as 3D CAD, tolerance analysis, and FEA to support design decisions.
• Participate in product design reviews and improve designs based on team feedback.
• Work closely with electrical, software, firmware, systems, manufacturing, product management, quality, testing, and supply chain teams.
• Support prototype builds, testing, validation, and regulatory activities.
• Assist with troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and resolution of product or manufacturing issues.
• Support transition to manufacturing, including tooling reviews and design-for-manufacturing considerations.
• Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners to support product development and production needs.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in new product development or mechanical engineering.
• Experience with 3D CAD modeling software and product data management tools.
• Experience with product testing, validation, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well across teams.
• Proficiency with standard Microsoft Office tools.

We would especially like to hear from candidates with experience in any of the following:

• Designing products for rugged environmental, metering, sensor-based, or similar high-volume electromechanical applications.
• Manufacturing methods such as injection molding, casting, machining, stampings, or powdered metal.
• Design for automated assembly and manufacturing processes.
• Creo (Pro/ENGINEER) and Windchill.
• Finite element analysis (FEA).
• Design or fabrication of test fixtures and equipment.
• Industry or regulatory standards such as ANSI, AWWA, UL, or Intrinsic Safety requirements.

Join the global Xylem team to be a part of innovative technology solutions transforming water usage, conservation, and re-use. Our products impact public utilities, industrial sectors, residential areas, and commercial buildings, with a commitment to providing smart metering, network technologies, and advanced analytics for water, electric, and gas utilities. Partner with us in creating a world where water challenges are met with ingenuity and dedication; where we recognize the power of inclusion and belonging in driving innovation and allowing us to compete more effectively around the world.

At Xylem, you'll not only contribute to solving water issues but also have the chance to make a difference through our paid Volunteer Program, Xylem Watermark. We prioritize our employees' well-being through inclusion and belonging as well as our Employee Resource Groups (ERG). Proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity (including disability and veterans) and Affirmative Action workplace, Xylem fosters an inclusive environment free from discrimination or harassment.
