Full Job Description Job Description:
Founded in 1904, ESAB Corporation is a premier narrowly diversified global leader in connected fabrication technology and gas control solutions. Our rich history of innovative products, workflow solutions, and business system, ESAB Business Excellence, enables our purpose of Shaping the World We Imagine ™. We're looking to hire a talented Mechanical Engineer based in Denton, TX. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the Mechanical Engineer is responsible for driving innovative engineering solutions from concept development through final implementation, serving as a critical link between design, drafting, and project execution. This role combines technical expertise with project leadership, challenging the incumbent to solve complex engineering problems, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, and deliver high-quality mechanical systems in a fast-paced environment. Primary Duties Develop, design, and analyze mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Draft Sight, etc.) Create detailed manufacturing drawings (drafting) ensuring compliance with industry standards and GD&T principles. Perform engineering calculations, simulation, and analysis to validate design performance, reliability, and safety. Manage document control, including bills of materials (BOMs), engineering change orders (ECOs), and technical specifications. Act as a project lead for assigned tasks or small-to-medium scale engineering projects. Define project scopes, timelines, and deliverables in collaboration with stakeholders. Coordinate cross-functional efforts between production, supply chain, and external vendors to ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget. Proactively identify potential bottlenecks or technical risks and implement mitigation strategies. Provide technical expertise to the production floor to resolve manufacturing issues, improve assembly processes, or troubleshoot prototype builds. Collaborate with clients or internal stakeholders to refine requirements and drive design iterations based on feedback. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline. 3-5 years of verifiable experience in mechanical design and/or project engineering. Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and 2D drafting. Strong understanding of mechanics, materials science, and manufacturing processes (machining, injection molding, sheet metal, etc.). Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and work independently with minimal oversight. A "roll-up-your-sleeves" mindset; comfortable switching between a design workstation, a project meeting, and the production floor. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of translating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Strong analytical skills with a focus on practical, cost-effective, and scalable solutions. Working Conditions Remains in a stationary position 50% of the time and involves additional physical demands such as ascending/descending stairs, walking stooping and standing. Must wear Personal Protective Equipment 'PPE' when working/visiting manufacturing and plant locations. Constantly operates a computer and other office productivity machinery including but not limited to printer, tablets, cell phones. Moves transports, puts, or removes equipment weighing up to 50 lbs.; pushes, pulls products weighing up to 200 lbs. using provided safety tools. May be exposed to varying weather during travel. Domestic travel required approximately 80%.
