• Lead mechanical design of custom equipment, skid-mounted and modular systems, and industrial machinery.
• Develop 3D models and 2D drawings including layouts, assemblies, weldments and components.
• Produce general arrangement drawings, equipment layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, and bills of material.
• Solve complex mechanical design challenges regarding performance, safety, manufacturability, and cost.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, controls, and manufacturing teams.
• Lead technical design reviews and provide guidance to project teams and customers.
• Partner with fabrication and assembly teams to resolve technical challenges.
• Support project planning, technical proposals, and engineering estimates.
• Mentor junior designers and drafters.
• Improve design standards, tools, and processes.

Required qualifications

• 7+ years of mechanical design or equipment design experience in an industrial, manufacturing or engineering-services environment.
• Advanced proficiency in 3D and 2D modelling software including SolidWorks and working AutoCAD, or similar tools.
• Experience designing equipment, frames, weldments or assemblies that were fabricated and built from your drawings.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles, dimensioning, tolerances, fabrication methods and manufacturing processes.
• Ability to independently manage complex design assignments from concept through detailed design and release.
• Experience reviewing technical drawings, solving design challenges, and collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams.
