Mechanical Engineer III

About the role

Perform a variety of complex engineering duties to design, develop, and oversee the production of integrated electro-mechanical systems, sheet metal components, and electronic devices. This role bridges the gap between physical fabrication and electronic control systems under minimal guidance.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop integrated electro-mechanical assemblies, systems, and sheet metal components/enclosures.
• Create detailed CAD drawings, electrical schematics, layouts, and specifications for new or existing products.
• Apply computer-aided engineering analysis techniques to evaluate designs and resolve complex engineering or customer concerns.
• Adhere to the New Product Development (NPD) process, managing tasks from concept analysis and business case development through pre-production and post-launch steps.
• Design testing methods and standards to confirm mechanical and electrical system capabilities and material properties.
• Conduct and specify complex tests using advanced techniques to evaluate product performance and resolve customer problems.
• Evaluate and troubleshoot product failures using root-cause engineering analysis techniques; compile test results to formulate recommendations and technical reports.
• Modify engineering analysis techniques when necessary to solve highly complex, non-standard problems.
• Recommend methods of manufacture during the design phase, proposing design modifications or process changes based on cost, material, and design studies.
• Identify and recommend improvements for sequence of operations, fabrication workflows, equipment utilization, and related manufacturing matters.
• Partner with supply chain and vendors to evaluate the technical abilities of suppliers and source components effectively.
• Act as a technical liaison between engineering, project management, business units, manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field.
• Minimum of 3 to 5 years of professional engineering experience, ideally within a heavy industrial or manufacturing setting.
• Comprehensive knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering concepts, internal standards, practices, and procedures.
• Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software for both mechanical structures and electrical/electronic systems.
• Broad knowledge of electrical/electronic control circuits, power systems, and electronic components.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing and fabrication processes, with specialized emphasis on sheet metal and industrial fabrication.
• Familiarity with industry-specific standards, regulations, and competitor product capabilities.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills to address varied and complex technical challenges.
• Well-developed interpersonal and written communication skills, specifically for technical report writing and cross-departmental collaboration.

Pay

Expected base annual salary range is $80,000–130,000, commensurate with experience.
