Responsibilities

Develop mechanical designs for forming equipment, tooling, fixtures, and prototype systems using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD tools.
Generate detailed part drawings, assembly drawings, bills of material, and supporting documentation.
Apply engineering analysis, modeling, and data-driven decision making to evaluate design options and resolve technical issues.
Support equipment installation, startup, debug, and validation activities in lab, pilot, and manufacturing environments.
Work on collaborative teams including process, mechanical design, controls, fabrication, and operations resources.
Partner with fabrication vendors and internal build resources to address manufacturability, assembly, fit-up, and design-for-maintenance considerations.
Document design work through design reviews, drawing packages, test plans, validation summaries, technical reports, and invention disclosures.
Lead technical workstreams and small-to-medium projects, managing priorities, schedules, risks, actions, and stakeholder communication.

Requirements

Bachelors or Masters degree in Engineering (Mechanical Engineering preferred).
Strong mechanical design capability using SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software.
Ability to create detailed part drawings, assembly drawings, and design documentation suitable for fabrication, procurement, and installation.
