Royersford, PA Reports To:

Director of Engineering Status:

Full-time, exempt, on-site

Salary Range:

$80,000 - $110,000, commensurate with experience, plus benefits About Accumetrics Accumetrics Limited manufactures small-diameter metal tubing for medical device, aerospace, and instrumentation customers. We operate across two locations with roughly 40 employees under ISO 13485 and AS9100D certification. Because we build most of our own production equipment, engineering here is hands-on: you design it, you help build it, and you see it run in production a few hundred feet from your desk. Position Summary We are hiring a Project Engineer to design, build, and commission custom tube-processing equipment. Your first assignment is a major new capital equipment build — concept and layout through detailed design, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and process qualification. Ongoing work includes upgrades to existing production equipment, robotics and automation projects, material handling, and process instrumentation. Robotics is a deliberate growth area for us. We are moving from manual operations toward automated cells, and this role will be central to that. This is a small-team role with wide latitude. You will own projects end to end rather than hand drawings over a wall. Key ResponsibilitiesDesign Produce 3D models, detail drawings, weldments, and assembly drawings in SolidWorks to a standard fabricators can build from without hand-holding. Perform sizing and first-principles engineering calculations: thermal loads, drive torque, structural and frame loads, pneumatic and hydraulic sizing. Specify commercial components — drives, gearboxes, bearings, actuators, sensors, valves — and drive make-vs-buy decisions on cost and lead time. Use in-house 3D printing for prototypes, fixtures, guards, and production tooling. Robotics & Automation Identify and execute opportunities to automate manual operations: robotic part handling, pick-and-place, machine tending, gauging, and inspection. Select, specify, integrate, and program industrial robots and cobots, including end-effector design, cell layout, and robot safety assessment. Support controls integration (Siemens S7-1200 and similar PLCs, VFDs, servos, HMI, safety circuits) in partnership with the Director of Engineering. Help build our robotics and machine vision capability from the ground up — this is new territory for us and you will help set the direction. Build & Commissioning Package projects for quote, manage vendors and fabricators, and track budget and schedule. Work alongside our maintenance and toolroom staff during assembly, wiring, and debug. Comfort with hand tools, machine tools, and a multimeter is expected. Lead startup, debug, and process shakedown; document as-built configuration. Project Management Own project scope, schedule, capital budget, and vendor communication for assigned equipment builds. Report status to management with clear risks and decision points, not surprises. Quality & Documentation Generate equipment qualification and validation documentation (IQ/OQ/PQ), FMEAs, and change records to ISO 13485 and AS9100D requirements. Build asset records, spare parts lists, and preventive maintenance plans in our CMMS; interact with our ERP system for routings, BOMs, and part data. Data & AI Use modern AI tooling (LLM assistants, Python) to accelerate engineering work: process data analysis, calculation and report automation, small internal applications, and drafting documentation. Help instrument new equipment for data capture and contribute to our shop-floor monitoring and OEE efforts. Required Qualifications BSME or BS in a related engineering discipline (equivalent experience considered). 3+ years designing industrial machinery, robotics, automation, or production equipment. Proficient in SolidWorks, including weldments, large assemblies, and manufacturing drawings with GD&T. Strong mechanical aptitude and shop presence — able to build, measure, troubleshoot, and take direction from what the machine is actually doing. Demonstrated ownership of projects through installation and startup. Clear written and verbal communication; able to write a work instruction an operator can follow. Eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship. Preferred Qualifications Hands-on industrial robot or cobot integration and programming, on any platform. Robotic end-of-arm tooling design, cell layout, guarding, and safety risk assessment. Experience designing automated equipment or automation cells from scratch. PLC programming and troubleshooting (Siemens TIA Portal preferred), servo and VFD configuration. Machine vision or automated gauging and inspection. Thermal processing or continuous process equipment experience. Metal forming background, particularly tube or wire drawing. Additive manufacturing experience — design for printing, printer setup and maintenance, material selection. Python or .NET scripting; SQL familiarity. Prior work in a regulated manufacturing environment (ISO 13485, AS9100, or FDA). What You Get Real autonomy — you will design and build machines that go straight into production. Direct access to decision-makers; no layers of approval to move a project.

Variety:

no two projects are the same, and you will not be maintaining someone else's design forever. Ground-floor role in standing up our robotics and automation program, not inheriting someone else's.

Benefits:

[health, 401(k), PTO, tuition and training support]. Work Environment Split between an office CAD workstation and an active manufacturing floor. Requires standing, lifting up to 50 lbs, and working around hot process equipment, compressed gases, and rotating machinery with appropriate personal protective equipment. Occasional vendor travel.
