Mechanical Engineer

Role Overview

• Design mechanical and electromechanical components, assemblies, or systems using CAD software (SolidWorks).
• Prepare and update engineering drawings, models, and documentation.
• Design, build and take prototypes to increasing levels of fidelity, and work with product focused engineers to translate early prototypes into products.
• Evaluate mechanical and electromechanical systems and products by applying principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer, and materials.
• Assist with drafting Bills of Materials (BOMs), process instructions, or document change orders.
• Conduct functional and performance testing on mechanical systems and components to ensure product quality.
• Develop manufacturing processes and tools by designing and modifying equipment for fabricating, building, assembling, and installing components.
• Participate in design reviews and project meetings.
• Keep equipment operational by coordinating maintenance and repair services; following manufacturer’s instructions and established procedures; and requesting special services.
• Work closely with senior engineers and project managers to meet project deadlines.
• Design and finish concepts to a high-level of quality.
• Ability to juggle numerous projects at once while honoring tight deadlines and deliverables.
• Perform maximum/minimum material testing, tolerance stack analysis.
• Perform engineering studies and tests to support design decisions, identify issues, or identify improvement opportunities.
• Develop test methods, author design verification and design validation protocols, perform testing and document results, perform statistical analysis of results, author reports.

Requirements

• BS degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 1-3 years (industry and/or project) of experience in hands-on Mechanical Engineering/Design role with focus in prototyping and product development.
• 2+ years (industry and schooling) of experience using SolidWorks
• Must be organized and have excellent communication skills.
