Coordinate with architecture, electrical, and controls teams plus outside design firms to integrate your work into overall facility layouts.
Lead design-for-manufacture and continuous-improvement projects that boost throughput, reliability, and margins.
Provide on-site support during fabrication, installation, and commissioning at both Midwest and Southeast facilities (≈10-15 % travel).
Maintain CAD libraries, engineering change documentation, and best-practice design standards in the PLM system.
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (or similar).
5 + years designing custom equipment, enclosures, or capital projects.
Expert with SolidWorks (or comparable 3-D CAD) and comfortable integrating models into Autodesk Revit/AutoCAD plant layouts.
Working knowledge of machining, sheet-metal, welding, and general fabrication processes.
Familiarity with FEA tools; able to interpret standards, specs, and codes.
Strong communication skills for vendor, cross-discipline, and client coordination.
Organized, self-directed, and motivated by continuous improvement.
Bonus Points
PLM or PDM experience.
Familiarity with environments requiring precise controls, such as radiation containment or contamination-free production settings.
Experience guiding junior engineers or external design partners.
Benefits Snapshot
Competitive base salary, discretionary bonus, and full health benefits.
