Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Automation Engineering, Engineering Design & Technologists
We’re seeking a highly experienced, self-directed Senior Machine Design Engineer to join our engineering team. This is a high-impact role created through internal promotion and long-term succession planning — offering the opportunity to step in, make immediate contributions, and play a key role in the future of the organization.
You’ll spend the majority of your time designing packaging machinery for made-to-order equipment projects across diverse industries. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who thrives in complex design environments and enjoys owning projects from concept through release to manufacturing.
What You’ll Do
- Design new custom automated machinery (fillers, labelers, case packers, cartoners, and related systems)
- Own machine design from concept, layout, and component selection through detailed design and release
- Ensure performance, safety, and customer requirements are met within budget
- Design and integrate motion systems, pneumatics, and servo-driven mechanisms
- Collaborate with manufacturing, controls, project teams, and customers
- Troubleshoot design challenges and drive practical, cost-effective solutions
What We’re Looking For
- 8–10+ years of custom machine design experience (packaging or capital equipment preferred)
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- Strong 3D CAD design experience (Inventor, Solid Works, or similar)
- Proven experience designing highly customized, made-to-order machinery
- Track record delivering projects from concept through build and commissioning
- Ability to review, troubleshoot, and improve existing machine designs
- Strong independent decision-making and problem-solving skills
This role is best suited for a confident, “plug-and-play” engineer who works with minimal oversight and brings sound engineering judgment, technical depth, and a proactive mindset.
Compensation & Schedule
- $100,000 – $130,000 salary (flexible up to ~$140,000 for highly qualified candidates)
- Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- One remote day per week after first 6 months
