About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer designs, develops, and improves new and existing products and components, fabricates and tests prototypes, and ensures product integrity, technical accuracy, and applicability. The role releases final products for manufacture and distribution and manages assigned projects, changes, and development from start through completion, working with other functional groups. The engineer plans product and component designs, prepares or directs project layouts and detailed drawings and schematics, develops experimental test products, and coordinates prototype manufacturing with Model Shop employees. The role evaluates test data against functional and performance specifications, assesses product feasibility, supports commercialization through business case analysis and planning, and reviews production to help ensure quality and cost targets are met. The position also supports product validation and improvement, works with suppliers and engineering and research personnel, and oversees installation, testing, maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of field test units at customer sites. Responsibilities include creating and updating product documentation, monitoring technology markets and customer feedback for product opportunities, and visiting suppliers to assess technology, capabilities, cost-saving opportunities, and root causes. For positions involving HVLS fan engineering, the role participates in AMCA International committees to support regulatory compliance and development.
