Mechanical Design Engineer

Position Summary

The Mechanical Designer will support business execution requirements for industrial robot automation systems by designing and detailing mechanical hardware including pneumatics, hydraulics, robot end-of-arm tooling, fixturing, and system layouts. The ideal candidate has mid-to-senior level tooling design experience and is proficient in Onshape or SolidWorks, with a willingness to work in Onshape as the primary design platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and detail mechanical hardware for multiple automation system projects including system layouts, cable tray/wireway routing, mechanical tooling and fixtures, CNC fixtures, tooling accessories, and pneumatic/hydraulic devices and circuitry.
• Execute robot end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) design with an emphasis on precision, functionality, and manufacturability.
• Execute layout design tasks using AutoCAD and Onshape; execute equipment design tasks using Onshape as the primary 3D CAD platform.
• Create and/or receive 3D simulation data as part of the design lineup.
• Assume lead design engineer role on assigned projects; maintain and track personal workload across multiple concurrent tasks.
• Attend project team meetings, customer meetings, and design reviews; support mechanical and electrical hardware integration.
• Lead vendor design process and schedule design reviews.
• Manage scheduling of design tasks, redline drawing updates, and mechanical drawing file control.
• Work within hardware design and build project budgets.
• Reliable, consistent attendance required; occasional overnight travel to customer sites as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Minimum five years of related mechanical design experience in an industrial automation environment.
• Experience designing robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), fixturing, and miscellaneous automation equipment required.
• Strong mechanical and pneumatic design knowledge and techniques.
• Proficiency in Onshape strongly preferred; SolidWorks candidates considered — must be willing to learn and work in Onshape (training provided).
• 2D AutoCAD proficiency required; AutoCAD knowledge is a plus for layout tasks.
• Strong industrial automation knowledge, preferably in robot automation systems.
• Exposure to ISO 9001 and related quality systems.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, and interpersonal skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and work effectively as part of a team.
