We are seeking a Mechanical Project Engineer – Custom Equipment to guide mechanical product development from concept through manufacturing. You will create practical, reliable equipment designs and coordinate with cross-functional partners to keep projects aligned with technical requirements and schedules.

This role suits an engineer who enjoys solving complex design challenges and turning ideas into buildable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Manage project scheduling and project management activities for custom mechanical product development projects, coordinating design, review, and manufacturing needs.
• Develop system designs, machine designs, mechanical designs, and 3D CAD models; prepare mechanical drawings, mechanical detail drawings, schematics, and drafting packages.
• Apply tolerance analysis, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and applicable American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) codes and standards.
• Use root cause analysis to resolve design or production issues and collaborate across engineering and manufacturing.
• Your impact: Clear, manufacturable designs help production teams build equipment consistently and help customers receive solutions that meet their needs.

Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering is preferred or an equivalent technical degree.
• 1+ years of hands-on mechanical and equipment design experience.
• Demonstrated ownership of engineered-to-order or custom capital-equipment projects, or major system scopes, from design through fabrication/build and test. Will consider solid Engineer w/ less experience with the right attitude.
