You'll work closely with electrical engineers, controls engineers, technicians, vendors, and operations to develop customized equipment involving robotics, pneumatics, motion systems, sensors, actuators, and mechanical assemblies.
Why join us?
- Design custom automated machinery from the ground up, rather than maintaining the same equipment every day.
- Take projects from concept and 3D design through fabrication, assembly, testing, and startup.
- Work hands-on with robotics, pneumatics, motion systems, sensors, actuators, and automation technology.
- See your designs physically built and operating on the manufacturing floor.
- Solve unique engineering challenges in a custom machine-building environment.
- Collaborate directly with electrical, controls, manufacturing, and technical teams.
- Receive a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) matching, paid time off, life and disability insurance, and EAP benefits.
Job Details
Key Responsibilities
- Design custom automated machinery, mechanical systems, assemblies, components, tooling, and safety guarding.
- Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks or similar CAD software.
- Develop mechanical solutions incorporating pneumatics, actuators, sensors, motion systems, and mechanical drive components.
- Work closely with electrical and controls engineers to integrate mechanical and automation systems.
- Perform engineering calculations including stress, load, tolerance, and component sizing analysis.
- Support prototype builds, machine assembly, testing, debugging, and system validation.
- Troubleshoot mechanical issues and perform root-cause analysis to improve equipment reliability and performance.
- Participate in machine startup and commissioning as required.
- Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and safety throughout the full project lifecycle.
- Support continuous improvement of existing equipment and machine designs.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
- Approximately 2 to 5+ years of hands-on experience in machine design, industrial automation, custom equipment, or manufacturing.
- Strong proficiency with 3D CAD, preferably SolidWorks.
- Experience designing mechanical assemblies and custom machine components.
- Understanding of pneumatic systems, mechanical drive systems, actuators, sensors, and motion components.
- Exposure to PLCs, controls logic, robotics, or automated equipment is highly desirable.
- Ability to take a mechanical design from concept through fabrication, assembly, testing, and implementation.
- Strong mechanical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Comfortable working in a collaborative, hands-on engineering and manufacturing environment.
