Description

We are seeking an R & D Mechanical Engineer to investigate technical problems, develop practical solutions, and contribute to product or process improvements through focused, high-quality engineering work. This role is well suited for someone who works independently, applies careful technical judgment, and produces accurate, well-documented results in a structured environment.


Core Responsibilities

  • Design, test, and refine mechanical product or process concepts through hands-on research and engineering analysis.
  • Investigate technical issues, evaluate root causes, and recommend solutions based on data and documented findings.
  • Plan and conduct mechanical testing, analyze results, and communicate conclusions and recommendations.
  • Build, review, and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, test plans, test records, development notes, and engineering reports.
  • Support product and process validation activities in accordance with established standards, procedures, and quality expectations.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and operations partners to support development and implementation efforts.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to strengthen product performance, reliability, manufacturability, or quality.
  • Maintain accurate engineering records and complete assigned work within established project timelines.


Requirements

  • Strong technical problem-solving skills with the ability to work through complex mechanical engineering issues independently.
  • Careful, structured approach to testing, analysis, documentation, and engineering decision-making.
  • Ability to maintain accuracy and quality while managing detailed technical work.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills for specifications, findings, technical recommendations, and project updates.
  • Ability to interpret technical data and use documented findings to support engineering decisions.
  • Familiarity with mechanical design, testing, validation, and structured problem-solving methods.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a cross-functional team.
  • Comfort working in an environment with defined standards, procedures, and quality expectations.

Other Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Prior experience in research and development, product development, testing, or a related mechanical engineering function.
  • Experience creating and maintaining technical documentation, specifications, test records, and development reports.
  • Familiarity with technical documentation, validation, and structured problem-solving methods.
  • Ability to work on-site or travel as required by the position, if applicable.
