What You Can Expect

The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the design, modeling, testing, and manufacturing transfer of mechanical components and assemblies. This role uses SolidWorks to create and maintain 3D models and drawings, develops and executes mechanical test protocols, and partners with Manufacturing Engineering and Supplier Quality to ensure successful design transfer and production readiness. The role emphasizes design accuracy, test rigor, and manufacturability, with robust application of GD&T; and tolerance stack-up analysis.

How You'll Create Impact

Mechanical Design & CAD
Create and maintain 3D models and detailed drawings using SolidWorks
Generate drawing updates, revisions, and change documentation
Apply GD&T; per ASME Y14.5 to ensure functional fit, form, and manufacturability
Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to validate design robustness





Mechanical Testing & Validation
Develop, execute, and document mechanical test protocols
Analyze test data and produce clear, accurate test reports
Support verification and validation activities as required
Troubleshoot test failures and recommend design or process improvements

Design Transfer & Manufacturing Support
Support design transfer activities in collaboration with Manufacturing Engineers and Supplier Quality Engineers
Ensure designs are manufacturable, inspectable, and scalable
Support prototype builds, pilot runs, and early production issues
Assist with drawing clarifications, deviations, and engineering changes

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Documentation
Work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams
Support engineering change processes (ECO/ECN) and document updates
Ensure technical documentation is accurate, controlled, and up to date

What Makes You Stand Out

Technologies & Tools

CAD & Design
SolidWorks (3D modeling, assemblies, drawings)
PDM/PLM systems for revision control (e.g., SolidWorks PDM, Windchill, Teamcenter)

Mechanical Testing & Analysis
Mechanical test equipment (fixtures, load frames, environmental testing as applicable)




Test protocol development and execution
Data analysis and reporting (Excel advanced preferred)

GD&T; & Engineering Standards
GD&T; per ASME Y14.5
Tolerance analysis and stack-up methodologies
Engineering drawing standards and best practices

Manufacturing & Quality Support
Design for Manufacturability (DFM/DFA) principles
Collaboration with Manufacturing Engineering and Supplier Quality
Engineering change management (ECO/ECN processes)

Core Competencies

Strong mechanical design and problem-solving skills
Attention to detail in drawings, tolerances, and documentation
Ability to translate design intent into manufacturable solutions
Clear communication with manufacturing and quality partners
Ownership mindset for design quality and test rigor

Your Background

Education
Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering or related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience)

2 - 5 years of experience in mechanical engineering roles
2+ years of hands-on experience using SolidWorks for 3D modeling and drawings
Experience supporting mechanical testing and reporting
Experience supporting design transfer to manufacturing

Preferred Qualifications

5+ years total mechanical engineering experience
Experience supporting regulated products (medical devices, robotics, aerospace, or automotive)
Experience with prototype development and supplier interaction
Familiarity with inspection methods and metrology
Experience working in cross-functional product development teams
