Principal Mechanical Engineer

Join our team as a Principal Mechanical Engineer, where you will play a key role in new product development and deliver innovative solutions to customer challenges. You will work independently and collaboratively with other engineers to ensure cohesive system design.

Responsibilities

• Your responsibilities will include designing practical solutions, executing tests, transforming conceptual solutions into robust product designs, and overseeing design and development activities among junior team members.
• You will also have the opportunity to travel to suppliers and customers, perform test and verification of prototype systems, and calculate forces and structural stresses in the design of industrial machines.
• Conception, design, and testing of mechanical systems and components for new product development.
• Collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure cohesive system design and integration.
• Oversight and mentorship of junior team members in design, development, and testing activities.
• Adept with setting aggressive yet feasible schedules and milestones for own work, and achieving them
• Strong working knowledge of the challenges facing neighboring disciplines, to collaboratively solve wire routing/ strain management/ cabinet locating style problems

Requirements

• Significant experience designing motion control systems with sensor, actuators and complex mechanisms
• Detailed knowledge of DFM/A, Six Sigma, and statistical tolerance analysis
• Mastery of 3D CAD software, preferably SolidWorks - including 2D drawings, simulations, and PDM
• High level of technical writing proficiency (specs, test plans, reports, white papers, etc.)
• Eight or more years of related work experience with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and successfully launched products into volume manufacturing
• Significant experience designing systems that are used in industrial settings, expecting to balance cost and durability for maximum customer success over the capital equipment’s full depreciation lifespan

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering

• Detailed knowledge of ASME drafting standards including GD&T(Y14.5-2009)
• Familiar with effectively working with customers, component suppliers and contract manufacturers
• Proficient at thinking strategically about risk; safety, design, manufacturing, reliability, and mitigations thereof

Experience with structural and vibration analyses

• Detailed knowledge of failure avoidance methods including DFMEA/PFMEA and fault tree analysis
• Ability to handle some minimal electrical design (cable harnesses, wiring diagrams, grounding strategies, etc.) is a plus
