Elevator Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Hyperion Solutions is currently seeking a Mechanical Engineer for our Elevator Equipment location, in Memphis TN. This position will be a key contributor to our manufacturing process by playing a vital role in designing and developing cutting-edge mechanical solutions that drive our company’s success.

The ideal candidate will have strong mechanical design capability with direct experience in hydraulic systems, fluid power, or mechanical power systems. Elevator industry experience, especially with hydraulic elevator systems, would be a major differentiator.

This role will be expected to become EECO’s go-to technical resource for jack and power unit application support, application calculations, product troubleshooting, and quality-related technical issues. A major focus of the role will be hydraulic valve design, including the ability to independently design new hydraulic valves or significantly improve existing designs. This is a product development engineering role, not a production/process/materials engineering role.

• Serve as a highlevel mechanical engineering resource for EECO hydraulic elevator products, especially jacks, power units, and hydraulic valves.
• Develop into the site subject matter expert for jack and power unit application support, including application calculations and technical troubleshooting.
• Independently design new hydraulic valve concepts and/or significantly improve existing hydraulic valve designs.
• Support product innovation related to hydraulic elevator systems, fluid control, valve performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Support quality investigations and corrective actions related to hydraulic components, applications, and field or manufacturing issues.
• Write, execute, and document engineering test plans for hydraulic components and systems.
• Use simulation and analysis tools to support design decisions, product validation, and pressurecontaining component evaluation.
• Support manufacturing as needed, especially in the areas of testing, welding/fabrication, machining basics, and assembly troubleshooting.
• Improve product design documentation, including drawings, specifications, calculations, BOMs, and engineering records.
• Apply designformanufacturability principles to new and existing product designs.
• Read and interpret regulatory, code, customer, or internal requirement documents and translate those requirements into engineering designs and documentation.
• Work within common engineering processes such as ECOs, revision control, design reviews, validation testing, and controlled release of engineering documentation.
• Mentor and train lowerlevel engineers and drafters where appropriate.
• Act as a technical lead for Richmond engineering activities until a formal local engineering management structure is established.
Required Experience and Skills
• Mechanical engineering product development experience.
• Strong mechanical design capability with experience in fluid power, hydraulic systems, mechanical power systems, or similar products.
• Ability to independently design or substantially improve hydraulic components, especially valves.
• Experience using 3D CAD. SolidWorks is preferred, but experience with other major 3D CAD platforms is acceptable.
• Simulation experience required; specific tool is less important than demonstrated ability to use analysis to guide engineering decisions.
• Ability to write and execute engineering test plans.
• Strong designformanufacturability mindset.
• Ability to read, interpret, and implement technical requirements from codes, standards, specifications, or customer requirements.
• Working knowledge of engineering change control, revision control, and structured engineering release processes.
• Ability to support manufacturing and quality issues in a handson production environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, and leadership teams.
Job Requirements
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field required
• 710 years of proven experience in mechanical design within the elevator industry preferred.
• Proven leadership experience, with a track record of successfully managing and developing engineering teams
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and other relevant engineering tools.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools for stress, thermal, and tolerance analysis.
• Excellent problemsolving skills with a keen attention to detail.
• Effective communication and interpersonal abilities for team collaboration and client interaction.
• Experience with project management, from concept to completion, is a plus.
Preferred / Differentiating Experience
• Elevator industry experience, especially hydraulic elevator systems.
• Hydraulic jack, cylinder, power unit, or valve design experience.
• Experience with pressurecontaining components or pressurevesseltype analysis.
• Experience with tolerance analysis.
• Experience with hydraulic testing, performance validation, and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with ASME A17.1 or other elevatorrelated codes and standards.
• Professional Engineer license. A PE license would be a major plus and may justify a higher salary range.
• Prior experience acting as a technical lead, mentor, or informal engineering leader.
