The Mechanical Design Engineer II independently develops, validates, coordinates, and releases mechanical designs for assigned equipment, subsystems, and defined project scopes within material handling and automation system-integration projects. The role translates system requirements into complete, accurate, manufacturable, installable, and production-ready engineering packages; performs engineering analyses to validate design performance; resolves technical, interface, and integration issues within the assigned scope; and proactively identifies and communicates risks requiring escalation. The Design Engineer II collaborates with cross-functional engineering teams, manufacturing, suppliers, and installation partners throughout project execution and provides informal technical guidance and peer-review support to less-experienced engineers.

Your role in our team

• You will independently plan, develop, validate, and release mechanical design packages for assigned equipment, subsystems, work packages, and project scopes, owning technical completeness from concept development through engineering release, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and field support
• You will translate system requirements, concepts, specifications, and customer expectations into complete, coordinated, and production-ready engineering deliverables, including mechanical assemblies, layouts, fabrication and installation drawings, bills of material, and related technical documentation
• You will evaluate design alternatives and make routine technical decisions within established engineering standards, project requirements, customer expectations, and assigned authority, seeking senior technical input for novel, high-risk, or unusually complex issues
• You will apply engineering judgment to standard equipment applications, established configurations, components, and drawing updates; perform engineering calculations, tolerance analyses, equipment integration studies, and design evaluations to validate mechanical performance, reliability, manufacturability, and installation requirements
• You will resolve routine design, interface, manufacturability, constructability, and installation issues within the assigned scope; identify technical risks, design conflicts, and project impacts, escalating significant safety, cost, schedule, customer, or system-level concerns with recommendations for resolution
• You will lead design reviews for assigned work packages by presenting design rationale, calculations, and technical decisions; address reviewer feedback and verify action-item closure before release
• You will ensure engineering packages are complete, coordinated, checked, and ready for formal release in accordance with company engineering standards, customer requirements, applicable safety standards, approval processes, change management, revision control, and documentation requirements
• You will collaborate with Project Engineering, Controls Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, Installation, suppliers, fabrication partners, offshore engineering teams, and other stakeholders to maintain design alignment throughout project execution
• You will support engineering revisions, change management, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), commissioning, field troubleshooting, and documentation updates throughout the project lifecycle
• You will provide informal technical guidance, CAD and documentation support, and peer-review feedback to less experienced engineers; contribute to improving engineering standards, templates, design libraries, processes, and best practices without formal people-management responsibility
• You will travel up to 30% to support customer integration projects

Your profile

• You have obtained a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related engineering discipline
• You have gained (3) three to (6) six years of mechanical design experience in automation, material handling, industrial equipment, capital equipment, or related industries
• You are proficient in 3D CAD modeling and mechanical documentation software such as Inventor, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or equivalent platforms, with demonstrated ability to develop and release engineering documentation packages, including drawings, layouts, assemblies, and bills of material
• You have a strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, fabrication methods, manufacturing processes, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), with the ability to independently develop mechanical designs and technical documentation within multidisciplinary engineering projects
• You are experienced in creating detailed fabrication, assembly, installation, and layout drawings, with a strong commitment to engineering quality, attention to detail, and documentation accuracy
• You have experience supporting projects throughout the engineering lifecycle, including design, manufacturing, installation, equipment validation, and commissioning
• You have been exposed to material handling equipment, automation systems, or large-scale industrial systems preferred, including conveyor systems, sortation equipment, structural systems, and related technologies
• You have effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and coordinate technical interfaces with suppliers, fabricators, manufacturing, installation teams, and customer-site stakeholders
• You can work on-site to support equipment validation, installation, and commissioning activities as required
• You can work in offices, shops, warehouses, and customer-site environments, with occasional exposure to noise, confined spaces, and varying temperatures

Eligible applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. The employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position.
