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.
