Mechanical Engineer
Position Summary
We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design, develop, improve, test, and maintain equipment supporting Deluxe's fulfillment operations. This role spans the full design spectrum — from a single custom bracket to a complete machine — and covers the full product lifecycle from CAD concept through hands-on build, installation, and field deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Design mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD across the full complexity spectrum — from simple fabricated parts and brackets to complete custom machines and integrated equipment systems.
Develop detailed engineering drawings and design documentation suitable for fabrication by internal teams or outside vendors; maintain archived design files for long-term support.
Research and evaluate market-available print, packaging, and fulfillment equipment; perform detailed calculations to establish manufacturing, construction, and installation standards.
Source and specify custom and off-the-shelf components; coordinate procurement for beta and production equipment projects.
Test and validate OEM and internal equipment designs for throughput, quality, and robustness — from prototype through production installation.
Coordinate and manage vendor relationships; evaluate supplier capabilities and lead vendor qualification activities.
Develop and maintain technical documentation including SOPs, work instructions, and equipment specifications.
Direct and train individuals supporting engineering projects and equipment operations.
Maintain professional and technical knowledge through educational workshops, professional publications, and industry trade shows.
Act as a deep technical escalation resource within ESS — engaged when the team has exhausted standard troubleshooting and needs specialized mechanical or design expertise to resolve a critical equipment issue.
Provide remote or on-site escalation support as needed; travel to affected facilities when the situation requires hands-on assessment or intervention.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and 3 years of relevant experience, OR Associate’s degree in a related technical field and 5 years of relevant manufacturing engineering experience, OR High School diploma/GED and 7 years of direct relevant experience
Proficiency in 3D CAD software with a demonstrated design-to-build portfolio
Comfortable serving as an internal escalation resource for the ESS team on critical equipment issues, including occasional remote or on-site response as needed
Must be at least 18 years of age
A valid passport or ability to obtain one (role requires travel to Canada)
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (ME degree strongly preferred)
Proficiency in SolidWorks; our team works in SolidWorks and candidates with direct experience will be able to contribute immediately
Proven CAD portfolio demonstrating design-to-build projects across varying complexity levels
Experience writing equipment specifications and technical requirement documents
Experience in systems integration — connecting mechanical, electrical, and controls subsystems into cohesive equipment solutions
Experience in the conventional and/or digital printing industry
Vendor coordination experience including sourcing, quoting, and supplier management
Project management experience; PMP or equivalent a plus
Working knowledge of computer and electrical controls
Willingness and ability to work hands-on with equipment on the production floor
