Mechanical Engineer

About the role

In this role, you will utilize a comprehensive understanding of mechanical components and related design principles, materials (including suitability, properties, composition, compatibility, corrosion resistance, and applications), finishes, plating, surface treatments, and machine design (structural analysis, DFM, fluid mechanics, pneumatic systems, and hydraulic systems). Responsibilities include creating component designs (machined, sheet-metal, castings, extrusions), tester designs, VAVE projects, and process improvements.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and evaluate mechanical and electromechanical subassemblies, products, and systems to meet performance, cost, and scheduling requirements.
• Design mechanical components, systems, and products using SolidWorks (or equivalent) solid modeling software and provide detailed design guidance/recommendations.
• Design fixtures and jigs from concept through implementation; troubleshoot and improve existing fixtures.
• Integrate subassemblies (mechanical and electro-mechanical) into prototype units, support continuing product development, test, system verification, and validation throughout the development process and into production release.
• Develop qualification test procedures and perform testing of advanced test equipment, subsystems, circuits, and mechanics for precision test applications.
• Review new designs and define manufacturing operational sequences; determine manufacturing routings for each step in the process.
• Resolve product nonconformance issues; implement product and process improvement/cost reduction initiatives via AMETEK’s CAPA and Engineering Change processes.
• Structure items, bills of materials, and routings using Oracle software.
• Review product design for compliance with engineering principles, company standards, customer contract requirements, and related specifications.
• Process engineering change orders in a timely manner as assigned.
• Assist Quality and Materials departments to determine disposition of rejected parts and material.
• Work closely with production departments to resolve manufacturing problems and provide assistance until jobs are running at established production rates.
• Troubleshoot assembly and quality problems.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in Engineering from a four-year college or university.
• Minimum three to five years of related experience and/or training in an engineering environment; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Familiarity with mechanical and machine design, stress analysis, weld design, injection molding, fabricated sheet metal, surface finishes, and LEAN manufacturing techniques.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office software (Word, Excel) and manufacturing database software.
• Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and reduce costs. The successful candidate must identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs.
