Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

The role

You will lead the mechanical design of industrial process systems, including skid-based and modular equipment. You will perform modeling, engineering calculations, and analysis to take designs from concept to validated, buildable products.

What you will do

• Lead mechanical design of industrial process systems from requirements through release and commissioning.
• Model and manage SolidWorks parts, assemblies, weldments and sheet metal, and AutoCAD 2D/3D layouts.
• Develop general arrangements, equipment layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, and bills of material.
• Define technical requirements, design bases and specifications with clients and the project team.
• Perform engineering calculations and select and size equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, tanks, valves and drives.
• Run simulation and analysis to ensure designs meet ASME B31.3, ASME Section VIII, and client requirements.
• 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 engineers.

Required qualifications

• BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.
• 7+ years of mechanical design engineering experience in process equipment, industrial systems or engineering services.
• Advanced proficiency in 3D and 2D modelling software including SolidWorks and working AutoCAD, or similar tools.
• Strong experience with engineering calculations, equipment sizing and selection, and design analysis (SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS or similar).
• Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards such as ASME Section VIII, and ASME B31.3.
• 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.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• An associate degree, bachelor's degree, technical certification, or equivalent professional experience in Mechanical Design, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• Commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to work onsite in Rochester and/or Rush, NY, with occasional travel up to 25%.

Nice to have

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or EIT with a plan to pursue licensure.
• Experience designing skid-mounted or modular process systems, pressure vessels or heat exchangers.
• Familiarity with engineering analysis and simulation tools such as SolidWorks FEA, ANSYS, or Caesar II.
• Experience with AutoCAD Plant 3D and 3D point clouds.
• Experience developing technical estimates, supporting proposals, or participating in customer design reviews.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and designers or leading technical design activities.
• Knowledge of industrial safety standards and equipment design requirements.
