The primary responsibility for the Mechanical Engineer is to design, develop, and maintain all mechanical aspects for a family of gear manufacturing machines.

• Design, development, documentation, and troubleshooting of gear manufacturing machines.
• Work with other engineering groups (Electrical Controls, Fluid Power, Software and Application Engineering) to facilitate a Systems Engineering approach to the machine design.
• Work with Proposals and Sales to understand customer specifications and applicable safety standards to develop machine cost and schedule estimates.
• Use Creo for 3D modeling of components and systems.
• Maintain Master BOMs for current and legacy machines.
• Ensure unique customer specifications are incorporated into each design.
• Review prior executions and compare/contrast to current practice.
• Evaluate technical performance of the resultant machine.
• Provide part specification changes (Engineering Change Order) based on design requirements.
• Interface with Assembly Methods to apply the appropriate part coding and documentation to facilitate efficient machine assembly.
• Prioritize and address Engineering issues in a timely manner from Assembly, Runoff, Field Service or Supply Chain.
• Actively participate in Design Reviews, FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis) and Risk Management meetings.
• Respond to internal and external requests for information.
• Work in fast paced environment.
• Participate in process improvement efforts that identify deficiencies in Mechanical Engineering and systematically develop solutions.

• Solid Model Creation: use of 3D CAD software (Creo preferred). Knowledge of mapkeys, UDFs, skeletons, large assembly management, and piping is desired.
• Ability to properly create and detail part prints including the use of GD&T.
• Ability to create and detail assembly drawings with many components on multi‑page drawings.

• Bill of Material (BOM) Creation/Maintenance: comprehension of how BOMs work to ensure proper part release strategy.
• Sales Order BOM: understand Price Book options and their dependencies.

• Component Design: apply proper fits to precision components, choose a component based on the manufacturer's data to suit a design specification, design for ease of manufacturing.
• System Design: develop options based on Customer Specifications from similar designs, designs consist of static assemblies, design for ease of assembly.
• Component/Assembly Identification: attend machine launch meetings and verify machine and assembly completeness and compliance.
• Impact Estimation: provide Engineering hours and material cost estimation for quotations.
