Position Overview
As Mechanical Design Engineer, you lead mechanical design projects from concept through to product release. You design parts that are easy and cost-efficient to make, apply advanced GD&T and run tolerance stack analyses, and build detailed 3D models and drawings in CAD. You work closely with vendors and manufacturing teams, support prototypes and testing, join design reviews and cross-functional meetings and keep documentation in line with engineering standards.
Why This Role Matters: A published salary range, a global industry leader and hands-on precision design make this an attractive role for an experienced engineer. The job rewards people with shop floor knowledge who understand how parts are really made, not just how they are drawn.
