Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer (3549)

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Industry: Industrial Machinery / Automation
Experience: 5-10+ years
Location: On-site

Design Real Machines. Bring Products to Market. Lead from the Front.

Our partner is a global leader in innovative machinery solutions supporting material handling, printing, mail, and packaging automation. With decades of industry leadership, the company is known for delivering complex, high-performance equipment that customers rely on every day.

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to take ownership of true machine design-not process engineering, drafting-only work, or incremental updates. This role is about designing, sizing, validating, and commercializing real machinery that is actively being brought to market.

Several products showcased at a major industry trade show are now moving from concept to execution. This role will play a key part in finishing designs, validating performance, and preparing systems for production and release.

The Role

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you'll serve as a technical leader responsible for designing automated machinery from concept through production. You'll size gears and motors, work closely with assembly through DFM, and partner cross-functionally to ensure designs are manufacturable, reliable, and market-ready.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys owning complex mechanical systems and guiding them all the way to the floor.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design of automated machinery and equipment
• Size motors, gears, and mechanical components for performance and durability
• Collaborate closely with assembly and manufacturing through DFM and build support
• Own CAD design and documentation using Creo and Windchill
• Finalize designs for new products transitioning from concept to commercialization
• Support troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and design improvements
• Mentor engineers and influence technical direction across projects
• Maintain accurate BOMs and configuration control within ERP/PLM systems

What We're Looking For

• 5-10+ years of experience in machine design (industrial or automation equipment)
• Background designing machinery such as conveyors, feeders, packaging, or material handling systems
• Strong proficiency with Creo, Windchill, and 3D mechanical design
• Experience working cross-functionally with manufacturing and assembly
• Comfortable owning designs end-to-end-not just pieces
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (ABET-accredited)

Nice to Have

• Printing or packaging industry experience
• Hands-on exposure to CNC, 3D printing, laser, or waterjet technologies
• Experience developing SOPs and design standards

Why This Role

• Work on real machines, not paper projects
• High visibility and influence on products going to market
• Opportunity to lead design decisions and mentor others
• Join a stable, respected organization with long-term growth
• Build your career at the intersection of engineering rigor and real-world impact
