Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer

About the role

The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will develop mechanical and electromechanical dispensers (paper, skin care, cutlery) from concept through commercialization, focusing on reliable, manufacturable, and user-friendly product solutions. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including business leaders, project engineers, electrical/test engineers, quality, and industrial design, and influence the evolution of products for our business-to-business brands such as Dixie®, enMotion®, Brawny®, Compact®, and Pacific Blue Ultra®.

Responsibilities

• Develop product designs and provide ongoing technical support for electromechanical devices across the product lifecycle (concept → commercialization → end of life).
• Create and iterate 3D CAD models and 2D drawings (SolidWorks preferred) for parts and assemblies, primarily injection-molded plastic components.
• Lead design for manufacturing (DFM) guidance and manage technical interactions with outsourced and international contract manufacturers.
• Create and manage mechanical BOMs and drive engineering changes through release.
• Generate and maintain full documentation packages and manage release into the company documentation system.
• Create and manage mechanical BOMs and drive engineering changes through release.
• Develop and execute product validation and verification plans; perform simulated use testing and troubleshoot product issues.
• Apply engineering analysis (FMEA, tolerance analysis, FEA, DOE, statistical analysis) to minimize build/test cycles and ensure robust designs.
• Work cross-functionally with business, quality, electrical/test, and industrial design teams to meet product requirements for safety, quality, performance, and cost.
• Take ownership of development tasks and drive timely completion.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years’ experience in product design engineering (mechanical/electromechanical products) from concept to commercialization.
• Proficiency with 3D solid modeling and 2D drawing generation (SolidWorks preferred).
• Strong mechanical aptitude and logical/analytical problem-solving skills.
• Experience preparing validation/verification plans and technical documentation.

Qualifications

• Proven expertise designing plastic parts for injection molding and high-volume manufacturing.
• Experience with sheet metal design.
• Consumer products design experience, including innovation activities (customer research, conceptualization).
• Experience working with international contract manufacturers.
• Familiarity applying FEA, DOE, FMEA, tolerance analysis, and statistical methods to product development.
• Experience with product cost management and DFM practices.
• Proficiency with project tracking tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Workfront, etc.).

Skills

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Knowledge of regulatory compliance and industry standards.

Benefits
