Description

Job Summary:

The Mechanical Engineer 2 works on moderately complex electro-mechanical product development projects. This role includes designing, analyzing, and testing components and assemblies while collaborating across teams. It suits engineers with 2-5 years of experience ready to take on more independent design responsibilities.

Essential Job Functions and Responsibilities:

• Independently design and improve mechanical assemblies and components.
• Perform basic thermal and stress analysis using analytical and simulation tools.
• Develop and execute component-level test plans and validation reports.
• Contribute to new product development within a stage-gate framework.
• Support manufacturing by working with suppliers, quality, and production teams.
• Apply GD&T and conduct tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Assist with the creation of documentation for design reviews and regulatory compliance.

Experience and Qualifications:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 2-5 years of experience with electro-mechanical product design.

Required skills:

• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and mechanical drawings (SolidWorks preferred).
• Working knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis.
• Strong understanding of mechanical system design and material properties.
• Ability to conduct engineering calculations for thermal, structural, and dynamic behavior.
• Experience with cross-functional project collaboration.
• Technical writing and presentation skills.

Preferred skills:

• Familiarity with FEA (mechanical and thermal), CFD, or simulation software.
• Experience with motion control systems or automation.
• Understanding of statistical tools and data analysis (e.g., Minitab, Excel, MATLAB).
• Knowledge of design for manufacturing (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and cost optimization.
• Exposure to ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 environments.
