About the role

The Mechanical Engineer will work closely with Senior Mechanical Engineers to ensure smooth execution of mechanical and manufacturing engineering activities. This role focuses on document control, process documentation, data collection, organization, and hands-on engineering support tasks.

Responsibilities

  • Collect, organize, and maintain engineering documents, including process sheets, work instructions, drawings, tooling records, and revision histories.
  • Prepare and update mechanical drawings, diagrams, and basic schematics under direction of senior engineering staff.
  • Assist in generating Bills of Materials (BOMs), routings, and tooling inventories in ERP/MRP systems.
  • Support documentation of quality checkpoints, dimensional reports, and non-conformance data logs.
  • Ensure proper version control and structure for engineering and manufacturing documents.
  • Aid in gathering process parameters, dimensional measurements, and mill performance data for engineering analysis.
  • Perform routine data entry and preliminary engineering assessments (e.g., measurement checks, basic calculations).
  • Support the development and revision of work instructions, SOPs, and process documentation.
  • Participate in hands-on activities during mill setups, production trials, and changeovers under senior supervision.
  • Track tooling usage, wear rates, and replacement schedules.
  • Work with Operations, Maintenance, and Quality teams to collect operational feedback and translate it into organized engineering notes.
  • Prepare materials, tools, and documentation needed for trials, root-cause analyses, corrective actions, or continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Assist with scheduling and coordination for engineering tests, sampling, and documentation reviews.
  • Identify opportunities to improve data organization, documentation workflows, and communication paths.
  • Maintain preventive maintenance records for mill-related components.
  • Support senior engineers in implementing process improvements, equipment updates, and new tooling introductions.
  • Maintain high levels of accuracy, completeness, and organization across all engineering-related files and communications.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or materials engineering (or related field).
  • 0–2 years of engineering experience (internships/co-ops acceptable).
  • Proficiency in CAD software.
  • Familiarity with mechanical fundamentals: stress, strain, fits/tolerances.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Qualifications

  • High documentation discipline and organizational rigor.
  • Strong communication skills to support engineering and operations.
  • Proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Ability to follow structured engineering and quality processes.
