If you prefer the challenge of designing custom automated machinery from a blank sheet of paper over making minor tweaks to the same legacy products, keep reading.

We’re looking for a Mechanical Designer who wants to own the engineering of custom, engineered-to-order manufacturing equipment. In this role, you won’t just be updating files behind a desk; you’ll take customer-specific automated machinery from clean-sheet conceptualization through final production, solving complex technical challenges and seeing your designs built right here on the shop floor.

What You’ll Get Your Hands On

• Execute clean-sheet mechanical designs for custom automated machinery and single-process equipment
• Create detailed 3D assemblies, manufacturing drawings, and precise BOMs using AutoCAD Inventor
• Manage project deliverables to ensure high-precision machines are built on schedule, within budget, and to exact customer specs
• Collaborate directly with assembly technicians, controls engineers, and clients to turn concepts into fully commissioned systems
• Mentor junior design team members while enforcing ISO quality and machine safety standards (OSHA, NFPA, UL)
• Travel occasionally for project installations and commissioning to see your machines run in the wild

What We’re Looking For

Mechanical design experience focused on automated process equipment

3D CAD modeling expertise, specifically with AutoCAD Inventor (SolidWorks or Solid Edge also xhqgsiq valued)

Solid foundation in mechanical engineering principles, physics, fluid dynamics, and Process Control Analysis

Working familiarity with industrial machine safety standards (NFPA, UL, OSHA)

Bonus points for experience with FEA, CFD, or Lean Manufacturing practices

Concept It. Design It. Watch It Run.

If you want a design role where your ideas don't get lost in a corporate vacuum—and you get to see custom automated machines come to life from scratch—this could be a great next move.
