Job Title: Senior Mechanical Engineer (
Temporary - Up to 12 Months)
Position Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer for a temporary assignment of up to 12 months. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical design, SolidWorks CAD, and project management. This role will support ongoing product development initiatives, contribute to design optimization, and lead cross-functional engineering projects from concept through execution.
Key Responsibilities: - Lead mechanical design using SolidWorks CAD, including 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings.
- Develop and optimize mechanical components and systems for performance, manufacturability, reliability, and cost.
- Partner with electrical, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to deliver integrated solutions.
- Own project plans, schedules, and deliverables; coordinate resources to execute programs on time.
- Design and integrate end effectors and tooling for automated and semi-automated systems, including tolerance stack-up and serviceability considerations.
- Develop automated mechanical interfaces (locating, clamping, docking, quick-change, and alignment features) to enable repeatable, high-throughput operation.
- Conduct design reviews, tolerance analyses, and FEA simulations as needed.
- Plan and execute prototype builds and DOE testing to validate designs and develop BKMs (Best Known Methods) for robust performance.
- Develop and mentor junior engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and knowledge sharing; help grow team capability and engineering best practices.
- Create and maintain engineering documentation; ensure compliance with applicable standards and internal procedures.
Qualifications: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- Minimum 7 years of experience in mechanical design and engineering.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks CAD, including document management systems.
- Strong understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical systems.
- Proven experience in project management, including planning, scheduling, and team coordination.
- Experience designing automation tooling such as end effectors and mechanical interfaces for repeatable operation.
- Hands-on experience planning and executing validation testing, including DOE; able to document and standardize results into BKMs (Best Known Methods).
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior engineers while delivering high-quality engineering outcomes.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Preferred Skills: - Experience in consumer products, industrial equipment, or medical devices.
- Familiarity with GD&T, DFM/DFA principles, and ISO standards.
- Experience developing automated mechanical interfaces (docking, locating, clamping, quick-change, and alignment) for automated or semi-automated equipment.
- Working knowledge of Design of Experiments (DOE), test planning, and data analysis to drive design decisions and establish repeatable BKMs.
- Knowledge of simulation tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and ANSYS.
- PMP certification or formal project management training is a plus.
Benefits: - Competitive compensation
- Flexible work schedule
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects
- Collaborative and innovative work environment
