What is the difference between Contract Mechanical Simulation Engineer vs Mechanical Design Engineer?

AspectContract Mechanical Simulation EngineerMechanical Design Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, simulation certificationsBachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, CAD proficiency
Work EnvironmentProject-based, contract roles, often in R&D or consulting firmsFull-time, in-house or design firms, product development
Industry UsageAutomotive, aerospace, manufacturing, consultingConsumer products, automotive, industrial equipment
Search & Comparison IntentFocus on simulation skills, contract roles, specific projectsDesign skills, product development, engineering design

The Contract Mechanical Simulation Engineer primarily focuses on performing simulations to analyze mechanical systems on a contractual basis, often working on specific projects. In contrast, a Mechanical Design Engineer concentrates on designing and developing mechanical components and systems, typically in a full-time role. Both roles require a strong engineering background, but their focus and work environment differ significantly.

Job description

We are seeking a hands-on Contract Mechanical Engineer to support electro-mechanical product development efforts on a short-term, part-time basis. This role will focus heavily on CAD drawing refinement, design updates, mechanical integration, and manufacturing support for electro-mechanical assemblies. The ideal candidate brings strong 3D modeling experience, practical product development knowledge, and familiarity with thermal management and plastic injection molded components.


This is a flexible contract opportunity estimated at approximately 10 hours per week for 4–8 weeks. Candidates located in Southern California or the Orlando, FL area are preferred, though remote candidates will also be considered.


Key Responsibilities
  • Refine, update, and polish existing mechanical drawings, assemblies, and manufacturing documentation
  • Support electro-mechanical product development activities including enclosure and component integration
  • Create and modify 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, BOMs, and release packages
  • Assist with plastic injection molded part design and manufacturability considerations
  • Contribute to thermal management design efforts including airflow, heat dissipation, and component layout optimization
  • Collaborate with electrical, manufacturing, and engineering teams to resolve design issues and implement revisions
  • Support DFM/DFA initiatives to improve manufacturability and production readiness
  • Participate in design reviews and engineering change updates as needed
  • Maintain organized engineering documentation and revision control
Required Qualifications
  • 4–5 years of mechanical engineering experience in product development or manufacturing environments
  • Strong proficiency with one or more CAD platforms including SolidWorks, Creo, or Onshape
  • Experience working on electro-mechanical systems or assemblies
  • Background designing or supporting plastic injection molded components
  • Understanding of thermal management principles for electronic or power-related products
  • Experience creating and revising detailed manufacturing drawings and documentation
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to clean up and standardize engineering drawings
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced engineering environment
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting power electronics, battery systems, chargers, or industrial equipment
  • Familiarity with sheet metal, machining, or enclosure design
  • Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and DFM practices
  • Prior experience working with remote engineering teams or contract-based project work
Engagement Details
  • Part-time contract role
  • Approximately 10 hours per week
  • Estimated duration: 4–8 weeks
  • Remote flexibility available
  • Preference for candidates located in Southern California or Orlando, FL areas

Pay: $50-$68/hr
