Perform engineering calculations, FEA, tolerance analysis, or other relevant mechanical assessments. Evaluate new materials, components, or technologies suitable for system improvements. Collaborate with electrical engineers on integrated electromechanical solutions. Project Execution Drive improvement projects from concept through commissioning. Work hands-on with equipment during prototyping, installation, and validation. Coordinate with suppliers, fabricators, and internal teams to execute modifications. Develop testing procedures and performance verification. Support & Troubleshooting Provide engineering support for field issues and assist with root-cause analysis. Train technicians on new designs, modifications, and procedures. Participate in reliability reviews, hazard analyses, and maintenance planning. What We’re Looking For Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical discipline (or extensive relevant experience). Proven experience in equipment design, system improvement, industrial machinery, or similar environments. Strong understanding of mechanical systems, rotating equipment, hydraulics/pneumatics, or power systems. Ability to interpret and produce detailed engineering drawings and CAD models. Hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving with the ability to work on equipment directly. What Will Set You Apart Experience with electrical systems or electromechanical integration. Background in continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, RCA, FMEA, etc.). Familiarity with manufacturing processes or fabrication methods. Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills.
