Job Title: Senior Mechanical Engineer (Temporary – Up to 12 Months)

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer for a temporary assignment of up to 12 months. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical design, SolidWorks CAD, and project management. This role will support ongoing product development initiatives, contribute to design optimization, and lead cross-functional engineering projects from concept through execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead mechanical design using SolidWorks CAD, including 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings.
• Develop and optimize mechanical components and systems for performance, manufacturability, reliability, and cost.
• Partner with electrical, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to deliver integrated solutions.
• Own project plans, schedules, and deliverables; coordinate resources to execute programs on time.
• Design and integrate end effectors and tooling for automated and semi-automated systems, including tolerance stack-up and serviceability considerations.
• Develop automated mechanical interfaces (locating, clamping, docking, quick-change, and alignment features) to enable repeatable, high-throughput operation.
• Conduct design reviews, tolerance analyses, and FEA simulations as needed.
• Plan and execute prototype builds and DOE testing to validate designs and develop BKMs (Best Known Methods) for robust performance.
• Develop and mentor junior engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and knowledge sharing; help grow team capability and engineering best practices.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation; ensure compliance with applicable standards and internal procedures.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 7 years of experience in mechanical design and engineering.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks CAD, including document management systems.
• Strong understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical systems.
• Proven experience in project management, including planning, scheduling, and team coordination.
• Experience designing automation tooling such as end effectors and mechanical interfaces for repeatable operation.
• Hands-on experience planning and executing validation testing, including DOE; able to document and standardize results into BKMs (Best Known Methods).
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior engineers while delivering high-quality engineering outcomes.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in consumer products, industrial equipment, or medical devices.
• Familiarity with GD&T, DFM/DFA principles, and ISO standards.
• Experience developing automated mechanical interfaces (docking, locating, clamping, quick-change, and alignment) for automated or semi-automated equipment.
• Working knowledge of Design of Experiments (DOE), test planning, and data analysis to drive design decisions and establish repeatable BKMs.
• Knowledge of simulation tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and ANSYS.
• PMP certification or formal project management training is a plus.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible work schedule
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects
• Collaborative and innovative work environment
