Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

** This is a HYBRID role based out of Bethlehem PA. Relocation is not offered. Preference given to local candidates. **

The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer (MDE) at Flexicon is a specialized Systems Project Engineer focused on the comprehensive integration of bulk material handling technologies. While Product Development Engineers (PDE) focus on granular component and R&D, and the separate Applications Engineering department provides internal sales support, the MDE owns the technical execution of the full project lifecycle. They are the primary authority on system-level physical integrity, ensuring that the full breadth of Flexicon’s product lines are engineered to function as a unified, site-specific solution. This role is an advanced-level role leading the system integration of major projects and serving as a technical resource for the department.

Essential Functions

• Lead the engineering design and system integration of high-value, complex customer projects.
• Perform advanced simulations to validate system integrity under varied loading conditions.
• Develop and maintain project-specific documentation using current standards (e.g., "Documentation as Code" / Markdown to HTML).
• Proactively resolve technical friction points between Engineering, Controls, Applications, and Manufacturing.

Education and Experience:

• Required : Associate degree or applicable experience
• Preferred : Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (BSME) or related field.
• Experience : 7+ years REQUIRED
