Mechatronics Engineer

SEAGA MANUFACTURING INC 1 • Freeport, IL

1d • $85,000 - $95,000

About The Position

POSITION SUMMARY • Build, support, and iterate on prototypes and pre-production units—assembling, diagnosing issues, and driving improvements. • Plan and execute functional testing and validation (mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration-related as applicable) to confirm performance and reliability. • Troubleshoot issues across hardware, wiring, sensors, motors, mechanisms, and controls—performing root-cause analysis and implementing corrective actions. • Partner with manufacturing, suppliers, and service teams to resolve build issues, improve quality, and support production schedules.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Electrical Engineering preferred; comparable technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience will be considered.
• Working knowledge of 3D CAD and drawings (enough to review, communicate changes, and support documentation).
• Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities, frequent collaboration, and aggressive development/production schedules.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and deliverables at the same time.
• Comfort working in areas where requirements are evolving and engineering precedents may be limited— using sound judgment to define a path forward.
• Ability to diagnose and interpret basic mechanical and electrical systems (wiring, sensors, motors, mechanisms, etc.) using hands-on troubleshooting and sound judgment.
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills and the ability to apply engineering theory to real-world manufacturing and product challenges.
• Self-directed work style with the judgment to escalate questions and seek guidance when needed.

Responsibilities

• Support new and existing products through prototype builds, validation, and production readiness— owning issue resolution from discovery to closure.
• Assemble, evaluate, and refine electromechanical systems and subassemblies, working hands-on to improve function, durability, and serviceability.
• Develop test plans, collect and analyze data, and document results (findings, recommendations, and corrective actions) to support engineering decisions.
• Troubleshoot product and process issues using structured root-cause methods; coordinate fixes with engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers.
