Position Summary:
The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer for Automation is a highly experienced professional responsible for leading the design and development of mechanical systems used in automated assembly lines. This role focuses on creating innovative, efficient, and production-ready mechanical solutions that enhance system performance, reliability, and manufacturability in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the mechanical design of automated assembly systems, including custom machinery, tooling, and robotic integration. Develop detailed 3D models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks or similar CAD software, with a strong focus on motion control, mechanical actuators, and material handling. Design components and sub-assemblies that are robust, reliable, and optimized for manufacturability and automation. Oversee prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical designs in collaboration with controls and electrical teams. Ensure compliance with safety standards, machine directives, and ergonomic best practices. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including production, controls, quality, and maintenance, to support system implementation and troubleshooting. Select appropriate materials, pneumatics, actuators, and mechanical components for high-performance automated equipment. Provide mentorship to junior designers and support documentation, BOMs, and technical reports.
Qualifications:
Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Design Technology. 10+ years of experience in mechanical design, specifically for automated machinery or high-speed assembly systems. Proficient in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks preferred), GD&T, and machine design principles. Strong understanding of mechanical motion systems, robotics, pneumatics, and fixture design. Experience working in manufacturing environments with a focus on automation and continuous improvement. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and project leadership skills.
