Job Title

Mechanical Designer

Your Role:

• Mechanical engineering support for lifecycle/sustaining projects involving electromechanical systems in both production and after-market phases. Activities include but are not limited to Root Cause Analysis, proposal and development of creative design solutions, as well as the support of verification and validation (V&V) activities required for their implementation.
• Responsibilities may also include the reverse engineering and detailed design of legacy mechanical components that involve a variety of fabrication methods including, but not limited to, plastic injection molding, die-casting, sheet-metal forming, and machining processes.
• Support the production of existing systems by investigating the root cause of issues found in manufacturing and early-life field failures experienced by customers / end users.
• Conceive, develop, and implement creative design solutions to improve manufacturability and prevent the recurrence of defects.
• Review and modify mechanical designs files, including both 3D models and 2D drawings, for products currently in production phase.
• Reverse engineer and create mechanical design files, including both 3D models and 2D drawings, for legacy products in post-production phase.
• Complete engineering modeling and analysis of mechanical systems.
• Employ empirical test methods to verify design performance and then document the results.
• Collaborate across technical disciplines to achieve project and program deliverables. These include, but are not limited to:
  • Electrical, Software, Systems, Experience Design, Design Transfer, Quality, Regulatory personnel.
  • Contract design firms, contract manufacturing firms.
• Drive/execute continuous improvement projects related to design implementation, manufacturing, product quality, and field reliability.
• Drive/execute strategic projects aligned with business goals that meet internal stakeholder objectives as well as mechanical engineering design requirements.
• Participates in design reviews, including reviews of design inputs and outputs.
• Keeps abreast of new developments in all relevant technological domains.
• Contributes to technology roadmaps and other strategic related activities.

• Demonstrated expertise in 3D modeling, with proficiency in SolidWorks and PTC Creo software packages required.
• Proficiency in the application of drafting standards in creating 2D part drawings.
• Proficiency in mechanical engineering design, with demonstrated knowledge of plastic injection molding, die-casting, sheet-metal forming, and machining processes.
• Exposure to plastics tooling release process and knowledge of design principles to address cosmetic issues.
• Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing method (GD&T), statistical tolerance analysis, and statistical process control (SPC).
• Demonstrated knowledge of understanding and application of Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) principles
• Exposure to mechanical reliability analysis and testing methods.
• Knowledge of mechanical defect investigation methods and tools.
• Methodical, effective troubleshooting/problem solving skills.
• Strong engineering skills/knowledge in product design and various manufacturing process.
• Strong collaborative abilities - proactively seeks guidance from internal and external stakeholders and subject matter experts (SME's).
• Efficiently plans, manages, and executes technical deliverables for complex projects.
• Excellent writing skills for documentation and presentation skills for verbal communication.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company's facilities.Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers or suppliers locations.

This role is an office-based role.
