Mechanical Engineer

Essential Responsibilities

• Independently design and document large customized lead-lined enclosures, instrumentation systems, and electromechanical assemblies with minimal supervision using SolidWorks.
• Develop production-ready 3D models, 2D drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and supporting engineering documentation.
• Evaluate customer requirements, specifications, drawings, and technical data to develop innovative, cost-effective engineering solutions.
• Drive continuous improvement through design optimization, material selection, and process enhancements.
• Support product development, manufacturing, and installation activities by coordinating with engineering, operations, suppliers, and quality teams.
• Provide troubleshooting, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and engineering change management (ECR/ECN) support.
• Lead or support testing, validation, tooling and fixture design, work instruction development, and field evaluations to ensure product performance, reliability, and compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
• Promote operational excellence through Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives, including kaizen events and cross-functional problem-solving teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and 3–5 years of related engineering experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks and experience creating detailed mechanical designs, assemblies, drawings, and BOMs for production environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret technical specifications, mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and engineering documentation.
• Experience with manufacturing processes, engineering change management, quality systems, and continuous improvement methodologies, including Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma tools.
• Familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IPC-A-610, J-STD standards, ESD controls, and FDA-regulated environments is preferred.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clear work instructions, technical reports, and customer-facing documentation.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing, inventory, project management, spreadsheet, and word-processing software.
• Proficient with standard electronic and mechanical test equipment, including calipers, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Able to lift up to 30 pounds and sit or stand for extended periods throughout the workday.
