Mechanical Engineer

A manufacturing division is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer with strong CAD expertise to support a high-volume SKU redesign and facility transition project. You will focus on updating and modifying CAD models and engineering drawings to align with a new manufacturing process and prepare products for validation at a new production facility. This is a fast-paced, project-based role that requires advanced SolidWorks skills, particularly in routing and sheet metal design, and a disciplined approach to design release and documentation.

Responsibilities:

• Update and modify existing CAD models and engineering drawings across a large number of SKUs.
• Incorporate design changes required for a new manufacturing e-coating process, including adding and adjusting weep holes, gas holes, and mounting holes.
• Ensure design intent is clearly communicated through CAD models, drawings, and associated documentation.
• Create and update assemblies and component-level models to reflect design and process changes.
• Develop and maintain detailed drawings and documentation to support manufacturing and validation activities.
• Create, update, and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), ensuring accuracy and proper revision control.
• Support validation and testing efforts for new SKUs at a new production facility, collaborating with cross-functional teams as needed.
• Implement design changes based on validation and testing feedback during production ramp-up.
• Release components, drawings, BOMs, and documentation through PLM/PDM systems such as Enovia or Vault.
• Follow established engineering change processes and maintain strong release discipline for all design modifications.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth transition of products to the new manufacturing process.

Essential Skills:

• Bachelors or Associates degree in a technical field such as mechanical engineering or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience working with SolidWorks, including solid bodies, complex assemblies, large design sets, and detailed drawings.
• 5+ years of experience executing rapid design revisions and turnaround of existing SolidWorks CAD models and drawing releases.
• 5+ years of experience with BOM management and revision control in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
• Strong experience with SolidWorks tube or pipe routing design.
• Strong experience with SolidWorks sheet metal design.
• Strong experience with engineering change processes and maintaining strict release discipline.
• Working knowledge of ERP systems for release to manufacturing (XA preferred).
• Working knowledge of PDM systems, with experience using Vault or Dassault tools preferred.
• Mechanical engineering and mechanical design experience, particularly in sheet metal and machine design.

Additional Skills & Qualifications:

• TubeWorks (ITEC) or comparable tube and weldment design experience.
• Experience with metal fabrication, welded assemblies, and laser cutting processes.
• Experience with PLM Enovia and 3D experience tools from Dassault.
• Prior involvement in high-volume SKU redesign or large design set management.
• Experience supporting validation and testing activities in a production environment.
• Familiarity with transitioning products to new manufacturing processes, including e-coating or similar treatments.

Work Environment:

This role operates in a fast-paced, project-based engineering environment focused on high-volume SKU redesign and facility transition. You will work extensively with SolidWorks for solid modeling, complex assemblies, routing, and sheet metal design, as well as PLM/PDM tools such as Enovia and Vault and ERP systems used for release to manufacturing (XA preferred).
