Title: Mechanical Engineer II
Location: Onsite at Painted Post, NY
Duration: 12 Months with possibility of extension
The manager is willing to consider non-local candidates willing to relocate at their own expense.
Nationwide candidates may be considered due to the niche skill set and limited local talent pool.
Minimal travel requirements (10%)
Only W2 candidates are eligible for this position. Third-party or C2C candidates will not be considered
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Mechanical Technology
Master's or PhD candidates may be considered only if they have meaningful manufacturing design exposure.
3 years of manufacturing design experience required
Exceptions may be considered case by case if the candidate has:
o Significant, directly relevant roll-to-roll or machinery design experience
o Strong demonstrated SOLIDWORKS expertise
Experience should be in:
o Manufacturing equipment
o Automated or precision machinery
o Mechanical components and systems
Facilities or construction-focused design experience is not suitable.
SCOPE OF POSITION
- A mechanical engineer responsible for design and start-up/debug support of process equipment. This includes working with a multi-functional team (process, mechanical, electrical, controls, metrology, facilities, IT, operations, etc.)
- involves the application of mechanical principles encompassed in mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and machine design used for the design, production, operation, and use of machinery of all types.
Primary Purpose of the Role
To support early-stage mechanical equipment design within Manufacturing Engineering and Technology (MTandE) group, specifically the Advanced Machine Systems team.
The role focuses on designing, modifying, and supporting roll-to-roll web conveyance equipment with thermal processing systems for RandD and pilot-scale production.
Acts as a design resource supplement / partial backfill, working very closely with the hiring manager on a specific but evolving technical project.
Emphasis is on hands-on mechanical design, startup support, troubleshooting, and equipment alignment, not routine equipment operation.
Required Skills Top 4:
1. Mechanical Equipment Design
o Proven experience designing machinery and mechanical systems
o Precision equipment, automation, spindles, bearings, torque systems preferred
2. SOLIDWORKS (Hard Requirement)
o All design work is done in SOLIDWORKS
3. Roll-to-Roll Web Conveyance / Web Handling
o Examples: film, paper, foil, battery manufacturing, continuous materials processing
4. Manufacturing / Production Equipment Experience
o Background in automated manufacturing systems or machinery design
o Design ownership rather than purely operational roles
- The following skills are strongly preferred:
1. Knowledge of thermal equipment fundamentals and proficiency in custom thermal equipment design
2. Proficiency in structural and thermal FEA modeling
Nice-to-Have / Preferred Skills:
Thermal Equipment Experience
o High-temperature systems (slot furnaces, kilns)
o Systems operating >1000 C
Thermal Design Fundamentals
o Heater selection
o Refractory and material selection
o Thermal expansion considerations
FEA / Simulation
o Preferred, not required
SOLIDWORKS PDM / EPDM (Vault)
o Experience preferred
o Training can be provided if candidate is strong otherwise
Work Schedule:
40hrs/week standard business hours
Occasional hands-on involvement during equipment setup and troubleshooting may be expected.
