Summary

Role Overview

As our Mechanical Engineer, you will serve as the lead designer on the equipment development team, taking ownership of complex machine designs from initial concept through build, testing, and production deployment. This is a highly hands-on engineering role focused on custom machine design and automation equipment development, not manufacturing engineering.

You''ll lead complete mechanical assemblies, collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and help drive innovative equipment solutions that support advanced manufacturing processes.

What You''ll Do

Lead the mechanical design of complex semi-automated manufacturing equipment using SolidWorks
Manage designs within SolidWorks PDM, ensuring proper revision control and data management
Create detailed 2D mechanical drawings with full dimensioning, tolerancing, and GD&T
Select materials and specify purchased components including bearings, actuators, pneumatics, sensors, and linear motion systems
Design for manufacturability, assembly efficiency, operator usability, and serviceability
Perform hands-on prototyping, assembly, testing, debugging, and equipment qualification
Partner with controls, software, and electrical engineers to integrate PLCs, robotics, vision systems, and automation technologies
Translate process requirements into practical equipment solutions alongside process engineering teams
Support deployment of equipment to production operations in Shakopee and future expansion sites in Mexico

What We''re Looking For

Required Qualifications

5+ years of experience designing custom automation or semi-automated manufacturing equipment
Expert proficiency with SolidWorks, including complex assemblies and mechanisms
Experience with SolidWorks PDM and engineering document control
Strong 2D drafting skills with GD&T, tolerancing, and manufacturing documentation
Knowledge of material selection for precision equipment applications
Experience integrating purchased mechanical components into custom-built systems
Hands-on experience building, assembling, and troubleshooting equipment
Proven ability to work effectively with controls, electrical, software, and process engineering teams
Preferred Qualifications
Background in precision assembly equipment, fiber optics, medical devices, or small form-factor manufacturing
Experience designing benchtop or tabletop semi-automated equipment
Familiarity with PLC-controlled equipment and vision systems from a mechanical integration perspective
