What You'll Do
  • Perform FEA simulations (linear, nonlinear, contact, buckling, fatigue, largedeflection) using ANSYS or similar tools
  • Analyze and validate crane structures, lifting beams, rigging components, and heavy mechanical systems
  • Develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and engineering documentation in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Creo
  • Conduct hand calculations to verify FEA results and support design decisions
  • Lead mechanical design from concept through prototype, testing, and field implementation
  • Support customers with rapid engineering assessments and problemsolving
  • Generate engineering reports, test plans, and work packs for fabrication and field execution
  • Collaborate with crossfunctional teams, fabricators, and field technicians
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design reviews and process improvements
MustHave Qualifications
  • BSME 10+ years or MSME with 5+ years of hands-on, demonstrated FEA experience with the analysis of major components of heavy equipment that could be mobile or stationary equipment
  • 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience in cranes, lifting systems, or heavy mechanical equipment
  • Advanced FEA experience (ANSYS strongly preferred)
  • Strong background in structural mechanics, weldments, heavy steel structures, and loadbearing systems
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Pro/E/Creo
  • Demonstrated ability to produce welldocumented calculations, FEA reports, and design packages
  • U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder
  • Ability to travel up to ~10%
Preferred Experience
  • Designing cranes, hoists, lifting beams, gantries, or highcapacity structures
  • Experience with hydraulic or mechanical powertrain systems
  • Familiarity with offshore, industrial, or construction lifting environments
  • Knowledge of ASME B30, API, DNV, ABS or similar standards
  • Handson exposure to fabrication, testing, or field commissioning
Work Environment
  • On-site at our Little Canada, MN offices
  • Occasional travel to customer sites, fabrication shops, or test facilities
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and field personnel

Benefits

We value our team's well-being and offer a robust benefits package to support your professional and personal growth:
