About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer II is responsible for researching, planning, and designing stations and machines using calculations, mechanical principals, and proven practices to create semi/fully automated assembly and test systems. This role involves working within design hour, schedule, and budget constraints, collaborating with a team to ensure cost-effective designs that meet customer requirements, and developing concepts to confirm performance metrics. The engineer will design mechanisms and stations using 3D modeling software, work with vendors for quotes, create detailed fabrication and assembly drawings, and compile Bills of Material. The position may occasionally act as Project Engineer for smaller projects and will support fabrication, assembly, debug, and machine qualification activities. The role also requires adherence to safety procedures and maintaining a clean work area.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent work experience.
5 or more years’ experience in an automation related field, preferred.
