100% onsite

We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team, focused on developing innovative, high-efficiency equipment. Bring ideas to life by designing and developing advanced mechanical and process equipment from initial concept through full-scale production. You’ll play a hands-on role in creating high-performance machinery built for reliability, efficiency, and long-term use in demanding production environments. A strong emphasis is placed on smart, clean, and maintainable design—ensuring systems are safe, durable, and easy to service.

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and develop mechanical equipment and systems using SolidWorks , creating detailed 3D models and drawings with precise GD&T
  • Perform engineering calculations and analyses to ensure performance in demanding operating environments
  • Partner with engineers, manufacturing teams, and customers to optimize system design and performance
  • Support prototype builds and oversee testing to validate throughput, consistency, and uptime
  • Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) improvements to enhance build quality and reduce cost
  • Create clear technical documentation, including BOMs, manuals, and specifications
  • Ensure designs meet applicable safety, quality, and regulatory standards
  • Troubleshoot field issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement continuous design improvements

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • End-to-end ownership—from concept to real-world impact
  • Hands-on engineering with visible results
  • Collaborative, problem-solving environment
  • Opportunity to influence next-generation equipment design

Technical Competencies

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in mechanical design
  • Proven proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and drafting

If you enjoy solving complex challenges and building equipment that performs where it matters most, we’d love to connect.
