Intermediate or Senior Mechanical Design Technologists to support the design of complex, custom-engineered mechanical systems used in demanding industrial testing environments.
This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys detailed mechanical design work, not just high-level engineering review. You will be creating practical, buildable design packages for custom equipment, fabricated structures, assemblies, and facility/equipment layouts.
The ideal person is comfortable moving between 3D models, 2D drawings, GD&T, fabrication requirements, vendor input, and real-world installation considerations.
Duties include but are not limited to:
- Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for custom mechanical systems, assemblies, structures, and components
- Produce accurate manufacturing, machining, welding, fabrication, and mechanical assembly drawings
- Apply strong GD&T and ASME Y14.5 principles to ensure drawings are clear, accurate, and production-ready
- Support machine design, structural design, welded design, and large-scale fabrication requirements
- Prepare and refine facility, plant, and equipment layout drawings, considering space, access, installation, and maintainability
- Collaborate with engineers, vendors, manufacturing teams, and installation stakeholders to resolve design issues and improve buildability
About You The successful candidate will have the following:
- You have 6+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience, ideally as a Mechanical Designer, Mechanical Design Technologist, Machine Designer, or Mechanical CAD Designer or equivalent
- You are highly proficient with Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD, with experience using Vault or similar file management tools
- You have strong experience with GD&T, ASME Y14.5, detail drawings, assembly drawings, and production-ready drawing packages
- You have designed custom equipment, industrial systems, fabricated structures, welded assemblies, or special-purpose machinery
- You understand practical manufacturing methods, including welding, machining, forming, fabrication, and assembly
- You are comfortable working with technical teams, reviewing designs, supporting vendors, and helping troubleshoot design issues during manufacturing or installation
- Nice to Have: Plant 3D, Revit, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, static structural stress analysis, mentoring, peer reviewing, or on-site troubleshooting would be considered an asset
