About The Position

Kenson Plastics is looking for an entry-level or early-career Mechanical Design Engineer who wants to be hands-on at our R&D facility in New Brighton, PA. In this dynamic role, you will design, prototype, and iterate mechanical components, tooling, and molds and actively validate, machine, and test your designs on state-of-the-art 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centers. Enjoy a healthy mix of engineering office work and an active manufacturing floor, with real opportunities for upward mobility into engineering or business leadership.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or a related technical degree required. Recent graduates with strong project or internship backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, Fusion 360) and a solid foundation in CAM or CNC manufacturing principles required.
• Strong technical writing and verbal skills for cross-functional collaboration, alongside advanced mathematical and geometric reasoning for tolerance stack-ups and print evaluations required.
• Regular use of hands for prototyping and computer work; ability to stand, walk the production floor, and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs (molds and fixtures).

Responsibilities

• Utilize CAD/CAM software to independently design parts, assemblies, molds, and advanced tool paths.
• Engineer molds and tooling, determining material requirements (aluminum blocks, composite tooling boards) and optimum blank sizes.
• Design and physically build custom machining and assembly fixtures to streamline production.
• Develop efficient machining programs, incorporating well-thought-out tooling, feeds, speeds, and shop-floor feedback.
• Inspect finished parts using precision measurement tools to verify complete adherence to customer specifications.
• Proactively evaluate manufacturing processes for design efficiencies, cycle-time reductions, and quality enhancements.
• Generate clear setup sheets, engineering drawings, and revision-controlled design packages.
• Maintain a safe, clean work environment and take direct ownership of tooling organization.
