Mechanical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and detail mechanical systems and subassemblies, including weldments, piping, hydraulics, pneumatics, and motion systems.
• Develop design concepts and detailed fabrication drawings that meet contractual, performance, and manufacturability requirements.
• Perform extensive 3D CAD modeling and 2D detailing for parts, assemblies, and systems (Solid Works preferred).
• Ensure design integrity through verification, reviews, and quality checks in alignment with project and company standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and project management—to ensure seamless integration of designs into production.
• Provide technical guidance to internal teams and external partners during the design, drafting, and fabrication phases.
• Support purchasing by defining technical requirements and evaluating supplier capabilities.
• Manage assigned design projects, including cost estimation, scheduling, and progress tracking.
• Troubleshoot design and production challenges, implementing practical solutions with accountability for follow-up and results.

• Bachelor’s degree (BSME or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering (preferred).

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical system design, preferably involving vacuum or controlled atmosphere systems.

• Strong proficiency in Solid Works or similar CAD software.
• Working knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Familiarity with materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, and engineering plastics.
• Understanding of fabrication and joining methods—threaded, welded, formed, and brazed assemblies.
• Experience with systems incorporating motors, sensors, actuators, hydraulics, and pneumatics.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general documentation tools.
