Mechanical Design Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with at least 5 years of experience in mechanical design, product development, and 3D CAD modeling. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on designing, modeling, testing, and improving mechanical components and assemblies using SolidWorks.

You’ll work from product requirements and concepts set by leadership — leaning on internal standards, industry standards, manufacturing know-how, and your own curiosity to get the design right — then carry it through design-for-manufacturing review and supplier support to final documentation. This is a hands-on execution role with a clear path to grow into broader engineering ownership.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using SolidWorks
• Develop detailed 3D models, drawings, and engineering documentation
• Create prototypes and support testing activities
• Analyze designs for manufacturability, reliability, and cost efficiency
• Collaborate with production, quality, and project teams
• Support product improvements and new product development initiatives
• Troubleshoot design issues and implement engineering solutions
• Maintain accurate engineering records and revision control

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• Minimum 3+ years of mechanical design engineering experience
• Advanced proficiency with SolidWorks
• Strong experience creating 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings
• Experience with product design and development
• Understanding of manufacturing processes and engineering principles
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with sheet metal, machined parts, weldments, or fabricated assemblies
• Experience moving products from concept to production
• Simulation, or testing experience
• Experience in a manufacturing environment

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on designer and problem solver
• Strong SolidWorks user
• Product-focused engineer
• Self-starter who enjoys creating and improving designs
• Someone looking to grow with the company and make a direct impact
