  • Travel: Approximately 10%, including occasional overnight stays for customer installations
 
ABOUT US:
  • We are an established industrial automation and engineering company specializing in custom automation equipment and process control systems. Our multidisciplinary team combines mechanical engineering, robotics, controls, and manufacturing expertise to develop tailored solutions for complex production needs
  • From initial design through fabrication, assembly, installation, and ongoing support, we provide engineers with the opportunity to work on challenging projects and see their designs come to life in real-world manufacturing environments
 
JOB DESCRIPTION:
  • We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer or Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. This role involves designing, developing, and supporting custom industrial automation machinery throughout the project lifecycle
  • The position is open to candidates with varying levels of experience. Mechanical Design Engineers will contribute to equipment design, CAD modeling, documentation, and project execution, while Senior Mechanical Design Engineers will take greater ownership of complex projects, lead mechanical design efforts, and support other engineers
  • Qualified candidates should have a solid understanding of mechanical design principles, electro-mechanical equipment, and manufacturing processes. Experience with custom industrial automation machinery is highly valued
 
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Use SolidWorks CAD software extensively to develop mechanical designs for custom automation equipment
  • Develop conceptual designs and translate engineering requirements into practical mechanical solutions
  • Create detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies for custom machinery and equipment
  • Prepare manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, and accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs)
  • Identify and specify purchased components from vendors and prepare purchasing schedules for procurement
  • Enter and maintain project information in the E2 Shop Tech Scheduler
  • Support project planning, coordination, and execution, with opportunities to manage projects based on experience
  • Track project progress, maintain documentation, and ensure design deliverables meet project requirements
  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical design and equipment issues
  • Collaborate with electrical, controls, manufacturing, and assembly teams throughout the design process
  • Support fabrication, assembly, testing, and installation of custom equipment
  • Travel occasionally to customer sites for equipment evaluation, troubleshooting, and installation
Additional Responsibilities for Senior-Level Candidates:
  • Lead mechanical design projects from initial concept through manufacturing, assembly, testing, and installation
  • Take ownership of complex custom automation projects, ensuring timely completion and adherence to technical requirements
  • Coordinate mechanical design activities and collaborate with other engineers to resolve technical challenges
  • Provide technical guidance and support to other engineers and contribute to design reviews
  • Manage project schedules, documentation, resources, and deliverables throughout the mechanical design lifecycle
 
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Mechanical Design Engineer
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering or technical field
  • At least 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, equipment design, or a related engineering discipline
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks CAD software
  • Experience with mechanical design, CAD modeling, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes and electro-mechanical equipment
  • Ability to interpret engineering requirements and translate them into practical designs
  • Strong technical, organizational, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing teams
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering or technical field
  • At least 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, equipment design, or a related engineering discipline, with 8+ years preferred
  • Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks CAD software
  • Strong experience designing custom industrial automation machinery and equipment
  • Demonstrated ability to manage mechanical design projects through the full project lifecycle
  • Proven experience delivering multiple substantial equipment design projects
  • Strong technical leadership, project management, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to independently lead complex mechanical design projects and support other engineers
 
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • SolidWorks certifications, such as CSWP or CSWE
  • Experience designing both robotics and hard automation systems
  • Experience with hydraulic and pneumatic systems and related controls
  • Ability to lead mechanical design projects from concept through installation
  • Understanding of industrial automation and controls components
  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting and equipment problem-solving skills
  • Experience taking custom automation designs through manufacturing, assembly, testing, and installation
  • Experience working effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams
 
KEY REQUIREMENTS:
  • Candidates will be evaluated based on their experience, technical capabilities, and the level of responsibility they can take on
The following qualifications are particularly important:
  • Strong SolidWorks CAD proficiency, including 3D modeling, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings
  • Experience with custom automation machinery, industrial equipment, or electro-mechanical systems
  • Understanding of the mechanical design process, including manufacturing and assembly requirements
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, manufacturing, and assembly teams
  • For senior-level candidates, demonstrated ownership of substantial projects throughout the full mechanical design lifecycle
  • Willingness to work onsite in Schertz, TX
  • Willingness to travel approximately 10%, including occasional overnight stays for customer installations
Project Experience Expectations:
  • For senior-level candidates, substantial experience delivering complex custom automation projects is important. The ideal candidate will have completed approximately 21–30 or more significant projects, demonstrating the ability to manage complex designs rather than primarily handling numerous small or limited-scope assignments
  • For Mechanical Design Engineer candidates, project experience will be evaluated based on technical complexity, individual contributions, and demonstrated design capabilities
 
INTERVIEW PROCESS:
Candidates who meet the qualifications will proceed through a structured interview process
  • First Interview – Phone Screening: An initial phone interview to discuss the candidate's experience, technical background, project history, and overall fit for the position
  • Second Interview – Team Interview: Candidates advancing to the second round will meet with engineering and team members for a more detailed discussion of their technical experience, design capabilities, and previous projects
  • SolidWorks Evaluation: Candidates advancing to the second-round interview will complete a SolidWorks skills evaluation to assess their practical CAD capabilities and proficiency with the software
 
READY TO BUILD WHAT'S NEXT?
  • Whether you're an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer looking to expand your technical expertise or a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer ready to take ownership of complex projects, this is an opportunity to contribute to the development of custom industrial automation systems
  • Join a team that takes projects from concept to installation, where your designs will have a direct impact on real-world manufacturing operations
  • Bring your SolidWorks expertise, mechanical design skills, and passion for engineering to a company focused on delivering innovative automation solutions
