Job Title: Senior Mechanical Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Engineer / Technical Lead to play a pivotal role in the design, execution, and technical leadership of complex, custom systems. This position is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives on making high-level technical decisions, guiding projects, and mentoring project engineers in a fast-paced engineered-to-order (ETO) environment.

Responsibilities

Lead high-level engineering aspects of custom systems, including system layouts and architecture, load paths and structural concepts, and interfaces with fabrication, installation, and controls.

Serve as the technical authority on assigned projects, particularly during early concept and critical design phases.

Support resolution of complex technical issues arising during fabrication, installation, or commissioning.

Evaluate design alternatives, deviations, and risk trade-offs to support cost, schedule, and quality objectives.

Conduct structured design reviews for project engineers' work, ensuring technical correctness, constructability, and alignment with internal standards and customer requirements.

Identify potential downstream issues early to reduce rework and field changes.

Act as a final technical check before release of critical designs.

Mentor and coach project engineers and junior engineers, helping them develop sound engineering judgment, understand system-level thinking, and improve design quality and efficiency.

Provide guidance without becoming a bottleneck, enabling others to execute independently over time.

Contribute to the development and refinement of engineering standards, best practices, and reusable design elements.

Work closely with project management, fabrication, and installation teams to support clear communication of design intent and technical decisions across disciplines.

Participate in customer discussions as needed to explain technical solutions or resolve issues.

Essential Skills

Experience in engineered-to-order (ETO) environments, preferably specific to industrial systems.

Proficiency in 2D and 3D design for layout development, system design, and design review in an ETO environment.

Experience reviewing and guiding others' designs, including design reviews and quality reviews.

Experience and understanding of DFMEA and FEA.

Understanding of machine design, conveyors, and industrial equipment.
