About The Position

Applies engineering principles to design, develop, and modify mechanical products. The Mechanical Engineer conceptualizes, defines, designs, builds, and tests products; creates CAD drawing packages; obtains components and prepares draft cost estimates; and tests and evaluates designs in preparation for production and regulatory submittals. The role also provides engineering support for production issues involving manufacturing, quality, and testing, and may support fabrication, installation, or repair of products. The engineer reviews specifications and other data to develop mechanical layouts, collaborates with internal contacts to understand product and design needs, and uses software to plan and develop simulations, including testing and revising product designs. Work takes place in general office conditions and, when in the manufacturing area, in factory conditions with potentially high noise levels.
