Position Summary The Engineering team is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to support product design and development, manufacturing engineering projects (equipment design), and daily sustaining activities. The Mechanical Engineer will perform design, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and production support activities with limited supervision. This position will take ownership of assigned engineering tasks and projects, work cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, operations, and other departments, and help deliver business-critical projects on schedule and within requirements.

The Mechanical Engineer:

Will independently solve challenging technical problems and develop practical, innovative solutions that meet performance, cost, quality, and schedule requirements. Will be responsible for assigned activities throughout the product life cycle, including requirements analysis, concept definition, prototyping, testing, detailed design, release, and production support. Will interface directly with other departments within the organization, identify technical and project issues, and communicate risks, recommendations, and required actions. Will collaborate with project managers, engineers, manufacturing, quality, and operations personnel to execute projects and resolve day-to-day sustaining issues. The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, self-motivated engineer who can manage multiple priorities, exercise sound technical judgment, and communicate effectively across the organization.
