Electromechanical Machinery Design Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Is this your next engineering challenge?

• Do you thrive on converting customer requests into robust, buildable mechanical solutions?
• Can you balance schedules, budgets, and milestones while keeping quality non‑negotiable?
• Are you fluent in taking sketches and specs into 3D models and shop‑ready 2D drawings?
• Do you enjoy partnering with Sales, R&D, Production, and Service to see equipment through installation?

If so, step into a role where you’ll design, plan, and support installation of mechanical and electromechanical products and plant systems—delivering accurate results on time and within budget.

What you’ll do

• Program planning: outline activities, milestones, and support needs for engineering programs.
• Control the cadence: maintain project schedules, checklists, and budgets; report milestone status to internal teams and customers; rebaseline when needed.
• Team with engineering: coordinate details, share lessons learned, and manage supporting assignments; take ownership to keep deliverables moving.
• Design execution: review sketches, drawings, specifications, and engineering data; determine procedures, objectives, and solutions.
• Innovation: research existing designs and challenges; extend proven designs and originate new product solutions.
• Compliance: verify designs meet engineering principles, company standards, contract requirements, and relevant specifications.
• Collaboration: work with research and service personnel to clarify issues, resolve problems, and elevate designs.
• Modeling and detailing: create models and construction details for new or modified components and assemblies; draft detailed equipment drawings for machine and sheet metal shops.
• Quality and traceability: support peer reviews and documentation quality control; document calculations and models to support, test, and verify designs.
• Digital workflows: employ software‑based design and modeling methods; develop/review BOMs and enter jobs, operations, and materials into the ERP system.
• Technical publications: produce installation, operation, and maintenance manuals; write installation and maintenance procedures and instructions.
• Configuration control: maintain engineering files for equipment; record modifications and field changes for serialized units.

Engineering buyouts and procurement

• Source effectively: engage vendors and obtain detailed quotes for deliverables.
• Initiate purchases: prepare requisitions for equipment, structural supports, and installation components.
• Specify precisely: write specifications for engineered buyouts for projects, parts, and service.

Partner across the organization

• Support Sales, Research & Development, Production, and Customer Service/Parts with timely engineering input.
• Provide guidance on manufacturing methods, materials, properties, and process limitations for long‑range planning.
• Help update and document internal standards and procedures.
• Travel as needed to alternate production facilities and customer sites to support builds and installs.

What we’re looking for

• Education: Bachelor’s degree (or an equivalent mix of education and experience).
• Computer skills: high proficiency with drafting and solid modeling, including Autodesk Inventor/Vault; capable of linking finished products, mathematical models, 3D models, and 2D drawings.
• Documentation: adept at capturing engineering solutions and archiving information to build institutional knowledge.
• Language: able to read/interpret technical documents; write clear reports and correspondence; present effectively using current presentation tools.
• Mathematics: comfortable with geometry, trigonometry, statistics, mechanical engineering models, and practical calculations.
• Reasoning: strong problem definition, data collection, and analysis; able to interpret complex technical instructions and handle abstract and concrete variables.

Core competencies

• Project Management
• Machine Building/Assembling
• Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
• Design for Assembly (DFA)
• Mechanical Design & Engineering
• Blueprint Reading

Tools you’ll use

• CAD Software (AutoCAD, Solidworks)
• Autodesk Inventor/Vault
• 3D Modeling and 2D Drawing toolsets
• ERP system for BOMs, jobs, operations, and materials

Where you’ll work

You’ll split time between office and field. Field work can include exposure to moving mechanical parts, weather, electrical hazards, heights, fumes, chemicals, vibration, and loud noise—requiring ear plugs and other personal protective equipment.
