Job Title: Assembly Engineer, Mechanical Design

Location: Cullman, AL LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY - NO RELOCATION ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE

Job Summary:

The Assembly Engineer, Mechanical Design is a design-forward engineering role supporting equipment development, installation, and production launches within a manufacturing environment. This position is ideal for a mechanically strong engineer who enjoys owning equipment and tooling designs while also gaining hands-on exposure during installation, commissioning, and line trials.

The role supports both U.S.- and Japan-built equipment and works closely with manufacturing, quality, project teams, and external vendors. While the primary focus is mechanical design, the engineer will intentionally develop on-floor experience to ensure designs translate effectively to real-world production. This is a high-impact role for an engineer who wants visibility, ownership, and long-term growth across both design and manufacturing execution.
