Engineer I Mechanical

Terex Corporation•Ocala, FL

About The Position

Designs, develops, and tests mechanical components, equipment, and machinery, applying engineering principles to product design. The role conducts product testing and creates models and prototypes, and may support fabrication, operation, application, installation, or repair of mechanical products. Work involves projects of limited complexity in a support role and is closely managed. The engineer assists with mechanical product and component design, product specifications, testing, process validation, and engineering documentation. The position uses CAD or CAE tools to develop structural designs and engineering drawings, verifies designs through calculations and analysis, and applies knowledge of manufacturing processes—particularly metal fabrication and assemblies—to support productivity. The role also supports customer requirements, test definition and evaluation, problem resolution, lean practices, and controlled engineering changes. The work is performed in a general office environment, with work on the plant floor as required.
