Mechanical Design Engineer

A mechanical design engineer’s primary duty is to design mechanical frames, assemblies, and details for custom manufacturing assembly machines. The design engineer will be provided specifications for a machine and its purpose. Working with other engineering departments (controls and software primarily), the mechanical design engineer will produce a mechanical bill of materials along with a complete drawing set for that machine. Working with program management, purchasing, and build departments during the design and commissioning phases of a machine.

· Be responsible for the design and commissioning of mechanical assemblies and sub-systems.

· Evaluate and choose mechanical components as requested by a customer and as appropriate for specific machine designs.

· Design and detail tooling, frames, and weldments using raw materials as a source (tool steel, aluminum, etc.).

· Design mechanical assemblies that incorporate purchased components such as air cylinders, proximity switches, rails and bearings, spindles and motors, and other commercial off-the-shelf elements.

· Produce detail drawings that permit the machine’s necessary components to be purchased and raw materials to be machined and assembled.

· Update all mechanical drawings as red-line changes become necessary during the commissioning and debug phases of a machine.

· Assist in the commissioning and debug of machines.

· Learn new assembly processes (using pre-prepared documentation) and design mechanical assemblies and details to accomplish these processes to the customer’s satisfaction.

· Work closely with other engineers to solve machine design and debug problems (including non-mechanical issues).

· Vocational training or associate’s degree in mechanical engineering required.

· Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in mechanical or industrial engineering preferred.

· FIELD EXPERIENCE QUALIFICATIONS

· Mastery (5+ years’ experience) in 3D design required. Inventor software experience a plus.

· Proficiency in the usage of 2D designs preferred.

· Experience in the automotive field (powertrain, and specifically transmission, axle, and suspension) a plus.

· Mastery of typical Office applications (Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc).

· Strong technical, communication, and hands-on debug skills.

· Practical working knowledge of components such as air / hydraulic cylinders, robots, gaging systems, instrumentation, and machine sensors.
