What it's like to work here:

Make a positive difference! It's why we exist. We are always looking for teammates who are eager to use their diverse set of talents with our customers, coworkers, and communities. We want to leave this world better than we found it.

What you will get to do:

  • Take ownership of an in-progress automation tooling design and drive it through completion, enabling transition of the current Mechanical Engineer to new concept development work
  • Apply sound engineering principles to finalize designs, ensuring functionality, manufacturability, and alignment with project requirements
  • Transition into a broader machine design role, contributing to multiple custom automation and equipment projects
  • Develop detailed mechanical designs from concept through execution, including component selection, layouts, and system integration
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine designs, address constraints, and ensure successful implementation
  • Support the creation of detailed engineering drawings and print packages for released designs
  • Ensure all drawings and documentation meet internal standards and are ready for manufacturing and assembly
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, tools, and documentation practices

What will make you successful:

  • Strong AutoDesk Inventor skills, including 3D modeling and design
  • Strong mechanical design fundamentals, with the ability to take designs from concept through detailed execution
  • Experience with automation tooling or custom machine design in Solid Works, including an understanding of manufacturability and assembly considerations
  • Ability to manage multiple projects or tasks simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and quality
  • Problem-solving mindset with the ability to troubleshoot design challenges and propose practical solutions
  • Effective communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and project teams
  • Self-motivated and able to take ownership of work, driving projects forward with minimal supervision
  • Adaptability and willingness to shift between completing existing designs and supporting new project development
