Senior Mechanical Engineer | Large-Scale Kinetic Systems
About The Position
Our client, a premier global engineering group, is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design of complex, large-scale mechanical systems that move. This isn't just about static components—this is about high-complexity, safety-critical kinetic systems that involve motion, hydraulics, and pneumatics. If you are a "blank-sheet" designer who loves seeing a concept move from a 3D model to a fully commissioned, massive-scale installation, this is your next challenge. You won't just be a "cog in the machine." You will own the mechanical integrity of high-profile projects: Blank-Sheet Design: Lead the design of mechanical systems from scratch (concept → modeling → analysis). High-Stakes Analysis: Perform critical stress, fatigue, reliability, and life-expectancy calculations for systems with high duty cycles. Safety-First Engineering: Conduct FMEA and design redundant safety mitigations for safety-critical systems. Multidisciplinary Integration: Collaborate with Controls, Automation, and Structural teams to ensure seamless system functionality. Hands-on Field Work: Support the installation and commissioning phases—seeing your designs come to life in industrial and construction environments.
Requirements
- 10+ years of Mechanical Engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on "from scratch" design.
- Deeply proficient in SolidWorks and GD&T, with a strong grasp of ASTM standards and safety engineering.
- Experienced in designing pneumatic and hydraulic systems for complex machinery.
- Comfortable managing vendor scopes and verifying that contract requirements meet safety and functional standards.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design of mechanical systems from scratch (concept → modeling → analysis).
- Perform critical stress, fatigue, reliability, and life-expectancy calculations for systems with high duty cycles.
- Conduct FMEA and design redundant safety mitigations for safety-critical systems.
- Collaborate with Controls, Automation, and Structural teams to ensure seamless system functionality.
- Support the installation and commissioning phases—seeing your designs come to life in industrial and construction environments.
Benefits
- Work on Iconic Projects: Your designs will be part of large-scale systems in the entertainment and manufacturing sectors.
- Technical Growth: Tackle some of the most complex mechanical challenges in the industry.
- Stability & Impact: Join a major engineering group with a deep pipeline of high-complexity projects.
- Orlando-Based: Be at the heart of the world’s hub for themed entertainment and advanced kinetic engineering.
