Mechanical Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

• Lead the complete mechanical design lifecycle of Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) projects, from initial concept to final implementation.
• Develop detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks 2023, adhering to industry best practices and company standards.
• Perform through engineering calculations and analyses (e.g., stress, strain, thermal, kinematic) to ensure the functionality, safety, and reliability of designs.
• Generate and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including bills of materials (BOMs), assembly procedures, and technical specifications.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, controls engineers, manufacturing personnel, and project managers, to ensure seamless integration of mechanical designs.
• Participate in design reviews, providing constructive feedback and implementing necessary design modifications.
• Identify and resolve design-related issues and challenges during the development and manufacturing phases.
• Stay abreast of the latest advancements in mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes relevant to SPM.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of design standards, processes, and tools.
• Mentor and provide guidance to junior mechanical design engineers.
• Occasionally travel to vendor or customer sites as required.

Preferred candidate profile

• Experience with PDM/PLM systems (e.g., SolidWorks 2023).
• Knowledge of automation and control systems relevant to SPM.
• Experience with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Familiarity with relevant industry standards and regulations.
• Experience in SPM and industrial automation machine design will be preferred.
• Knowledge of pneumatic systems, linear motion components, bearings, motors, and standard mechanical components.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
