About The Position

About You Creative and innovative Problem solving/analysis Strong attention to detail Organized Strong, transparent communicator Team player Positive and respectful attitude Results oriented Quality driven Self-motivated What You`ll Be Doing Mechanical Engineers are responsible for designing structures and implementing powered motion systems used on various types of machinery. The employee will be accountable for creating 3D models of equipment, drafting prints for manufacturing, and integration of hydraulic designs of normal to increasing complexity with moderate to light supervision. Must be comfortable working with production team members to implement their designs Structural Design equipment structures in an effective manner, both in terms of time and cost Design weldments used as the frame of the machine or as a part for further machining Generate prints used to fabricate and machine components per industry standards Generate bill of material (BOM) and upload to ERP system Setup, run and understand results of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Hydraulic Demonstrate a working, foundational understanding of hydraulic systems Assist Hydraulic Engineers with circuit development, component selection, and documentation. Electro Mechanical Design Design motion equipment implementing ball screw, planetary roller screw and belt driven actuators. Work with vendors and electrical team to size servo motors and other power transmission components required for these systems. Create accurate modeling of components and accessories. Generate bill of material (BOM) and upload to ERP system GD&T Understand different dimensioning and tolerancing methods on prints Interpret tolerance stack-ups and effects Understand and minimize cost implications of tolerance and machining methods Design Review Proof designs created by less experienced engineers or in peer review Receive and incorporate feedback in designs based on peer review Participate in design review meetings, drill downs, etc. Make sure all criteria are met by comparing specifications and quotes to design Be able to troubleshoot hydraulic systems during startup with a Controls Engineer Communication Work with production leads during start-up of new projects Keep management informed of project progress Work to meet milestone deadlines Work collaboratively with other engineering disciplines Effectively participate in meetings with customers Work collaboratively with non-engineering departments (Purchasing, Sales, Estimating, Service, Production) Develop mentoring skills to help promote and grow knowledge and skill sets within the engineering team. Communicate effectively with vendors to solve problems and improve designs as required. Support Service team with warranty and non-warranty troubleshooting as required
